ASTM standards and ANSI standards serve different purposes, and one does not inherently supersede the other. ASTM International develops technical standards for materials, products, systems, and services, while ANSI (American National Standards Institute) oversees the development of voluntary consensus standards for various sectors. In some cases, ASTM standards may be adopted by ANSI as American National Standards, but they operate independently. The applicability of one over the other depends on the specific context and requirements of a project or industry.
ANSI is the American National Standards Institute. They coordinate the development of US Voluntary National Standards in private and public sectors with regards to information management and data communications. ASTM is the American Society for Testing and Materials. They develope, publish standards, definition of materials, methods for testing materials, installation practices and specifications for materials. Ok since ASTM develops the standards how does that affect OHSA standards to ANSI on safety ie.. Z87 stamp on safety glasses?
ANSI valves are based on American National Standards Institute Standards. For example, ANSI 16.34 refer to steel valves. BS valves are based on British Standards. For example, BS1212 refer to ball valves excluding floats.
An ANSI SRO (American National Standards Institute Standards Recognition Organization) is an organization recognized by ANSI to develop and maintain consensus standards in specific areas. These organizations ensure that the standards meet the requirements for due process, openness, and consensus, promoting safety, quality, and efficiency across various industries. ANSI SROs play a crucial role in facilitating standardization and enhancing interoperability among products and services.
BS 1387 is UK Standard and ANSI/ASTM are American Standards; both deals in the specifications of Steel or Alloy pipes sizes, BORE, WALL THICKNESS, chemical composition, and manufacturing process.Both are standard in manufacturing and material process specifications.For example;ASTM A 53-90b Carbon-Steel Pipes, Welded (F & E Types) or SEAMLESS (S Type) Grade A & BBS 1387 Medium (Class B) can be the equivalent etc...etc...
The equivalent of BS (British Standards) standards varies by country and organization. In the United States, ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) provide similar standards. In Europe, EN (European Norm) standards serve as a counterpart, while ISO (International Organization for Standardization) offers international standards applicable across various regions, including the UK. Each of these organizations aims to ensure quality, safety, and interoperability in products and services.

The ASTM F2413-05 is the consensus standard that is accepted from OSHA for protective foot wear at the workplace. The ASTM F2413-05 replaced the ANSI z41.1 standard.

ANSI B36.10 relates to Carbon Steel Pipe, whilst ANSI B36.19 relates to Stainless steel pipe.

ANSI means American National Standards Institute.
Is B18.6.3-UNC 8-32 a substitute for ASTM A194
ANSI
Yes, composite-toed boots can meet ANSI (American National Standards Institute) regulations if they are designed and tested accordingly. These boots typically use materials like Kevlar, carbon fiber, or plastic for toe protection, providing a lightweight alternative to steel-toed boots while still offering the required impact and compression resistance. Look for marking or labeling that indicates compliance with relevant ANSI standards, such as ANSI Z41 or ASTM F2413.
Basically there is no difference as pipe is ussually stenciled with both standards.
