Systems committee approached the B16 committee to develop a standardthat covers pipeline bends produced by the induction bending process.Subcommittee F reviewed the request and identified that no current specification coveredthis product to the satisfaction of the users.It was also determined that this Standard wouldneed to be more performance based than most other B16 Standards,which are normallyproduct standards with set dimensional requirements.At the 1994 meeting of Subcommittee F,the project to develop a standard was accepted.Through the cooperation of producers and users familiar with the process,and with approvalby the Standards Committee and ASME,ASME B16.49-2000 received approval as anAmerican National Standard on April 25,2000.MiCOPYRIGHT 2002:American Society of
