ASME = American Society of Mechanical Engineers
ANSI = American National Standards Institute

These are 2 seperate bodies.

What is ANSI?
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is a privately funded federation of business and industry, standards developers, trade associations, labor unions, professional societies, consumers, academia, and government agencies. ANSI does not itself write standards. ANSI is the United States member of ISO.

What is ASME?
ASME is an accredited Standards Developing Organization that meets the due process requirements of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Codes and Standards that are developed under an accredited program may be designated as American National Standards.

More information can be found at the ASME and ANSI websites.

ASME B31.3 and ASME / ANSI B31.6 are the same thing .... just check the dates on the standards for the most up to date version.

Ive check my copy of the B31.3. It just says ASME B31.3-2002 Process Piping. With No reference being made to ANSI. I remember that the ANSI designation was dropped way back in the mid-90's.

ASME B31.3 and ASME / ANSI B31.6 are the same thing according to Anton.

If the two codes are the same - what is the point of publishing both?
