The National Shipbuilding Research Program. World Class U.S. Shipbuilding Standards. Task 3: Catalog of Foreign Standards for Common Systems and Ship Types
Abstract
This report/database was developed under Project NSRP 6-94-1, World Class U.S. Shipbuilding Standards (Task 3). Task 3 (after several changes in guidance due to lack of availability of standards) was to look at four specific areas (Ventilation, Electrical, Piping and Structure) from which a matrix database was to be developed that cross-referenced 4 ship types (RO-RO, LNG, Ferries, Tankers) to standards supporting the desired domain (see below). The ventilation area was to address hangers and ventilation fittings; the electrical area was to address hangers and tray systems; the piping area was to address hangers, firemains, and fittings (select a few); and the structure area was to address components, ladders, and handrails. For each of these areas, standards were identified from either an existing paper index or digital database. Once standards were identified an attempt was made to get copies of the standards from MARAD since funding to purchase standards was not included in the tasking. MARAD had indicated in several SP-6 meetings that they had access to a significant number of standards and would make them available for various uses (uses were limited since most standards have COPYRIGHT restrictions). As will be seen, there were a significant number of standards that were identified but were not available from MARAD from a variety of reasons (funding being the most significant; government shutdowns were also a factor).
