The internationally recognized ASME code governing the design, construction, inspection and certification of boilers and pressure vessels.
The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) is a comprehensive collection of engineering rules that establish requirements for the design, materials, fabrication, examination, inspection, testing and certification of boilers, pressure vessels and nuclear components. Published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, it is one of the world's most widely adopted engineering codes for pressure equipment.
The BPVC provides a globally recognized engineering framework that promotes safety, reliability and consistency in the manufacture and operation of pressure-retaining equipment.
The BPVC consists of multiple sections addressing different equipment types, materials, welding, inspection and qualification requirements. It is widely referenced by legislation, owner specifications and international engineering standards.
The BPVC is a collection of individual code sections, each covering specific aspects of pressure equipment design, fabrication, inspection and qualification.
