What is difference between ASME and ANSI?

ANSI establishes and accredits performance and quality standards for products and services in a wide variety of sectors, while ASME is primarily focused on boilers and pressure vessels.

What are the basic standards?

Basic Standards are the unaltered standards which are used over for a longer period of time and do not reflect current conditions. These standards are not useful from the cost of control point of view as they consider only fixed costs. It is only a technique which is used with the intention of controlling cost.

What are quality standards in engineering?
