Gather information
for your search
Gather as much information about the standard
as possible:
Title of standard – gives possible keywords to
search
Designation (aka Standard Number) – best
indication if it is an ANSI or other standard
Developer or publisher – helps find other
avenues to searching for the standard

Found it in the database!
Now What?
• Go to the Standards Center, Room 161
(first floor, past the restrooms on the right)ANSI standards are in filing cabinets on the left as you walk in the
room; other print standards are on the right

ANSI/AIAA G - 003
ANSI/ASQ Q10006
ANSI/BHMA A156.3

Room 161
Look at the labels on the filing cabinets to the place where an ANSI
designation would reside.
For example, if we were looking for API 510:
• Find the cabinet that would have API standards in them
• Find the API 510 range (in this case, between ANSLG and
API 613)
• Open the drawer and look for 510

Inside the drawer
Standards are placed in reverse
chronological order with the designation
written on the spine:
LATEST (2008) IN FRONT
OF ALL
ANSI/ASME A112.19.3
editions
EARLIER EDITION
ANSI/ASME A112.19.3-2000
