INSTRUMENT ENGINEERING INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS

Before we begin discussing various international standards, lets see which organizations actually make international standards.
ASME (AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS)
ANSI ( AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD INSTITUTE)
IEC (INTERNATIONAL ELECTRO-TECHNICAL COMMISSION)
IEEE(INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS)
NACE(NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CORROSION ENGINEERS)
NEMA (NATIONAL ELECTRICAL MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION)
NFPA (NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION)
UL( UNDERWRITERS LABORATORY)
BS (BRITISH STANDARD)
API (AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE)
ISO (INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR STANDARDIZATION)
OHSAS(OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY ASSESSMENT SERVICES)
ISA( INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF AUTOMATION) FORMERLY KNOWN AS INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEMS & AUTOMATION SOCIETY
SAES( SAUDI ARAMCO ENGINEERING STANDARDS)
SAMSS( SAUDI ARAMCO MATERIAL SYSTEM SPECIFICATION)


ASME( AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS) has developed standards related to construction of various mechanical equipment for eg. Boilers, tank, pressure vessels etc. It provides specification related to which material, with what properties can be suitable to handle pressure & volume. These books are licensed and have copyrights.
One of their book is 

ASME Y14.5 Dimensioning and Tolerancing 2009: Engineering Drawing and Related Documentation Practices can be purchased from here

ASME B30.22-2016 Standard: Articulating Boom Cranes can be purchased from here

Design of ASME Section VIII Pressure Vessels can be purchase from here

ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel and Piping Codes can be purchased from here



ANSI ( AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD INSTITUTE)-  ANSI standards are standards defined by American National Standards Institute for various activities like Material QC of various hardwares like Nut, Bolt, Poles, Conduits, Transformers, Welding materials, Steel structures etc., Installation, 
For eg. 

Electric cooking ranges, hobs, ovens and grills for household use can be purchased from here

Pipe Threads, General Purpose (Inch /Ansi/Asme B1.20.1-1983) can be purchased from here

Safe Use of Lasers: ANSI Z136.1-2000 can be purchased from here

Information Sciences, Serial Holdings Statements/ANSI Z39.44-1986 can be purchased from here


IEC (INTERNATIONAL ELECTRO-TECHNICAL COMMISSION)

Round wire concentric lay overhead electrical stranded conductors can be purchased from here

PLC Controls with Structured Text (ST): IEC 61131-3 and best practice ST programming can be purchased from here

Electrical installations of buildings - Part 7-717: Requirements for special installations or locations - Mobile or transportable units can be purchased from here






ISA( INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF AUTOMATION)- ISA develops standards, certifies industry professionals, provides education and training, publishes books and technical articles, and hosts conferences and exhibitions for automation professionals.

CBSE Class 10 Chemistry Chapter 3 Metals & Non Metals

Metals and Non-metals 3.1 PHYSICAL PROPERTIES 3.1.1 Metals The easiest way to start grouping substances is by comparing their physical properties Activity 3.1 ·         Take samples of iron, copper, aluminium and magnesium. Note the appearance of each sample. ·         Clean the surface of each sample by rubbing them with sand paper and note their appearance again. After rubbing with sand paper metal is shining. Metals, in their pure state, have a shining surface. This property is called metallic lustre. Activity 3.2 ·         Take small pieces of iron, copper, aluminium, and magnesium. ·         Try to cut these metals with a sharp knife and note your observations. ·         Hold a piece of sodium metal with a pair of tongs. CAUTION: Always handle sodium metal with care. Dry it by pres...

SITE ACCEPTANCE TEST

  SAT (Site Acceptance Test) Site acceptance test is test to verify the Automation system like DCS (Distributed Control System) & Subsystems are well connected & communicate with each other without having any Hardware or software failure. SAT activity requires involvement of MAC Contractor, EPC Contractor, Subsystem Vendor.         MAC (Main Automation Contractor i.e., Honeywell, Yokogawa etc.) should prepare SAT procedure & submit to PMT (Project Management Team) for approval during CDR (Critical Design Review). DCS (Distributed Control System) SAT also includes Integration Test with various Sub System or Package PLC (programmable logic Controllers) EPC (Engineering Procurement Construction) Contractor coordinates & manages Integration Test activity with sub system vendors. EPC ensures DCS is ready for SAT Like ensuring all Eng/HIS( DCS Engineering Stations), all HIS(Human Interface Station), All DCS System Cabinets(Pro...
