Overview
ASME B30.26 is a product specification standard covering rigging hardware used in industrial lifting and load handling applications. It defines design, marking, inspection, and performance requirements for components used in lifting assemblies and rigging systems. The standard is commonly referenced together with material, coating, testing, and inspection standards depending on the application requirements. ASME B30.26 hardware is commonly manufactured from alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, and corrosion-resistant coated materials. When sourcing products to ASME B30.26, additional specifications may include load rating requirements, material specifications, coating system, inspection requirements, and certification requirements.
