Here are just a few of the revisions and additions you’ll find in the 2005 edition:

  • A new pipe fitting method incorporates an automatic process that results in a more uniform weld. This lowers the likelihood of leaks and maximizes piping system performance.
  • A new mechanical method of joining fittings and piping doesn’t require a flame or brazing procedures. This produces an equivalent joint without a fire hazard.
  • Greater flexibility for manufacturers of vacuum pumps, filters, dryers, regulators, and aftercoolers as to which materials they can use. Previous Standard editions prescribed specific materials for various components. This change promotes improvements in cost-effectiveness and efficiency without compromising safety.
