Sounds like you need to implement ASME Y-14.35M-1997 to get your revision practices under control. Start with a gap analysis.

I once had a job where I could work 5am-1pm with a commute of 40 minutes each way. I was in heaven. I lived right on the St. John's River in Florida. In summer the sun would go down around 8-8:30 so I would get home with at least 6 hours of daylight left. I had a dock to fish off of, my boat...

I agree with your position with one caveat: clause 1.1.3 of ASME Y-14.5M-1994 states, "Where drawings are based on this Standard, this fact shall be noted on the drawings or in a document referenced on the drawings. References to this Standard shall state ASME Y-1.45M-1994."

I'm with you, Ziggi. There was a time when I would cheerfully work 50 to 70 hour weeks but I have better things to do now. I never had kids of my own and now I have a wonderful girlfriend whose kids have begun to call me Dad and the grandkids call me Grandpa. I'm not going to chain myself to...
I'm fortunate to work for a company that firmly believes in 8 hour days and forty hour weeks. In fact, I will probably come in for half a day on Saturday this week, but that will be the first OT I've worked in months.

If you are in the US, MSC has them on page 1323 of their 2006/2007 catalog for a little over $20 each. If you don't have an MSC account, just about any manufacturing supply hous will carry them.

In an auto industry plant where we had an extensive in-process inspection crew, we had a changeover procedure for the CNC machinery that prevented that kind of mixing. The person performing the changeover first removed everything specific to the previous setup - fixturing, gaging etc. and...

In vast majority of cases you will find that it requires fewer gage blocks to build your stack using an 81-pc set, thus reducing your stacking uncertainty. You also will spead out the gage wear over a larger set of blocks. I always felt that the longer gage life obtained plus the...
McLeod,
I'll quote ASME Y14.100, 4.26.6j in full:
"Notes shall not include contractural requirements such as statements of costs; time and place of delivery; methods of payment; and requirements of for submission, approval, or distribution of data, reports, or plans."
It can be argued that...

We are already doing a trial on Kolserising. The process I described above is Low Temperature Colossal Supersaturation. Here is what I was told by a rep at Swagelok a few weeks ago:

We put it on the drawing because that is the one document that everyone sees - engineering, purchasing, suppliers, supplier quality, production, and testing. That just works for us.
