AS 3990 — 1993 (Mechanical equipment — Steelwork)
AS 3990 (1993) standard is intended to apply to steelwork associated with mechanical equipment such as boilers and pressure vessels, lifts, cranes, mining equipment, gas, and liquid petroleum piping systems, and bulk handling equipment.
It does not apply to road and rail bridges, material less than 3 mm thick, steel with a design yield stress greater than 450 MPa, or cold-formed members that do not comply with AS 1163.
AS 3990 (1993) was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee on Cranes and balloted by the Standards Australia Committees for Boilers and Unfired Pressure Vessels, Lift Installations, Cranes, Mining Equipment, Gas and Liquid Petroleum Piping Systems, and Bulk Handling Equipment to provide a working stress method for the design of mechanical equipment steelwork. It was approved on behalf of the Council of Standards Australia on 24 February 1993 and published on 17 May 1993.
