The new edition is available from ASME at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asme.org\">www.asme.org<\/a>. In addition to numerous editorial changes, the most significant technical changes in this new edition are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Design Criteria paragraph (Section 1-4.3) has been revised to clarify that the rated load of a below-the-hook lifting device shall not be determined by a load test only. That is, even though a load test may be performed, full calculations in accordance with the provisions of BTH-1-2020 are still required.<\/li>\n<li>The definition of below-the-hook lifting device has been revised and a definition of load block has been added (Section 1-5.1) to improve consistency with similar changes being made to ASME B30.2 &#8220;Overhead and Gantry Cranes&#8221; and ASME B30.20 &#8220;Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices&#8221; with respect to lifting devices that are reeved into the hoist ropes.<\/li>\n<li>The definition of the term lifting attachment (Section 1-5.1) has been revised to agree with an interpretation of B30.20 that was issued in 2015 and to be compatible with interpretations of 29 CFR 1926.251 issued by OSHA.<\/li>\n<li>Bibliographic information for references cited by BTH-1-2020 have been added or updated where necessary (Section 1-7).<\/li>\n<li>The text describing the use of Equations 3-29 through 3-34 for combined axial and bending stresses has been revised to improve clarity (Section 3-2.4).<\/li>\n<li>The fatigue design provisions have been updated to provide improved consistency with the source material (Section 3-4).<\/li>\n<li>Sections 4-2 and 4-3 have been revised to incorporated ASME B30.30-2019 &#8220;Ropes&#8221; and to provide applicability to synthetic rope, not just wire rope.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Detailed background for many of the provisions of BTH-1-2020, including discussions about these changes, can be found in the Nonmandatory Appendices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Industrial Training International (ITI) has communicated to audiences that ASME released the 2020 edition of BTH-1 &#8220;Design of Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices&#8221; on June 11, 2021.
