1.1 This practice provides a means to determine an allow-able tensile load (ATL) value for a polyethylene gas pipe that is to be installed underground using methods that pull the pipe into a trench (cut or plowed), bore hole, casing pipe, or the like.The ATL value takes into account pipe size, tensile yield strength, pipe […]

1.1 This guide covers the methodology for the use of whistles as a means of communication during rope rescue operations. 1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety, health, and

1.1 This specification covers the design, construction, test-ing and operating requirements for pressure-reducing mani-folds for air or nitrogen systems, referred to herein also as manifolds. The term manifold constitutes the combination of all components and piping between, and including, the inlet and outlet ports (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2). 1.2 The values stated in

1.1 This specification covers patellar resurfacing devices used to provide a functioning articulation between the patella and the femur.

1.1 The purpose ofthis test method is to define a method foranalyzing the surface texture of the above-mentioned compo-nents using a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). STM is anoncontact method of surface profiling that can measurethree-dimensional surface features in the nanometer size range,which can then be used to represent the surface texture or toprovide figures ofmerit.

1.1 This guide covers the use of the Incident Command System (ICS), as developed in the National Incident Manage-ment System (NIMS) in 2004, as the management framework for search and rescue (SAR) operations. 1.2 Except as otherwise specified herein, the methods and requirements of this standard also include NIMS, ICS, and National Response Framework (NRF)

1.1 This test method covers the testing of components for total hydrocarbons (THC) contribution to a gas distribution system at ambient temperature. In addition, this test method allows testing of the component at elevated ambient tempera-tures as high as 70°C.

1.1 This specification covers self-contained, globe style,pressure-reducing valves for use in water systems of shipboard installations. These valves are limited to discharge pressure settings of 200 psig (1379 kPa) and below. 1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units

1.1 This guide covers minimum requirements for the scope of performance of first responders who may be responsible for the initial care of sick and injured persons of all ages in the prehospital environment. 1.2 This guide includes objectives based on an individual’s acquired knowledge, including signs and symptoms; patient assessment; basic life support/cardiopulmonary resuscitation

1.1 This specification 2 provides the minimum requirements for the design, fabrication, pressure rating, marking, and testing of steam traps and drains. 1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not
