ASME B18.12-2001 (R2006)

This glossary is intended to present general practice relative to nomenclature
prevailing in industry. Its availability will tend to make possible, through further
development, the elimination of inconsistencies in nomenclature and provide the
basis for cataloging by users and producers. It has been arranged to give as much
specific information as possible, in as brief a scope as practicable, both by
definitions and illustrations. Articles shown in this glossary are not necessarily
available or manufactured.
