Is the standard USAS B16.30 still used? 1

[bmoorthy]

One of my older colleagues in his lecture informed that long time back they made use of B 16.30 for selecting vessel Girt Flanges and that B16.30 was in general use for ASME Sec I items and it used allowable stress of plate SA 285 gr C and that of bar A 306.

1) Is the standard B 16.30 still in use
2) Was this B16.30 permitted to be used in ASME Sec VIII Div 1 vessels or was this limited to ASME Sec I items.

The last edition of ASME B16.30 was the 1969 edition;- today is an obsolete, non-applicable standard. I don't know when it was withdrawn, but is not in use today.
