You're looking for information on ASME B106.1M!
If you are designing a new machine today, check the current ASME catalog. If you are maintaining a machine built between 1980 and 2010, you almost certainly need the original B106.1M.
As Jack began working on the project, he realized that there were no clear guidelines or standards to follow for designing and installing piping systems. The industry was still in its early stages, and there was a need for a standardized approach to ensure safety, efficiency, and reliability.
Over the years, Jack became an expert in piping design and ASME B106.1M. He worked on numerous projects, applying the principles and guidelines outlined in the standard. He also participated in the development of subsequent revisions of the standard, providing valuable input and insights from his practical experience.
Standards change. A PDF from 1995 might lack critical errata or safety updates. If you design a shaft based on an obsolete PDF that has since been corrected for a material flaw, you are legally liable for the result.
Here is why ASME B106.1M remains a vital reference:

Historically, shaft design relied on static yield strength, which often led to either overly conservative or incomplete designs. Modern engineering recognizes that most shaft failures are fatigue failures—progressive crack propagation caused by fluctuating loads. ASME B106.1M addresses this by providing a method based on the fatigue strength of the shaft rather than just static strength. Core Technical Principles
