ASME: SETTING THE STANDARDThe 2010 ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code with AddendaSetting the Standard in Design, Engineering and CareThe ASME Boiler and Pressure VesselCode (BPVC) establishes rules of safetygoverning the design, fabrication, andinspection of boilers and pressure vessels,and nuclear power plant componentsduring construction. The objectiveof the rules is to provide a margin fordeterioration in service.Advancements in design and material, andthe evidence of experience, are constantlybeing added. Further value is addedfor BPVC purchasers through ASME’songoing conformity-assessment programs,referenced and related standards, trainingcourses, technical publications, andindustry conferences.Serving the Public for over 90 YearsCurrent and “LIVE”Originating in 1914, the BPVC is nowadopted, in part or in its entirety, by all50 states and numerous municipalitiesand territories of the United States, andby all 10 provinces of Canada. More than92,000 copies of the BPVC are in use in100 countries around the world, withtranslations in a number of languages.The BPVC is kept current by the Boiler andPressure Vessel Committee, a volunteergroup of more than 950 engineers,regulators and technical experts. TheCommittee meets regularly to considerrequests for interpretations, revisions,and to develop new rules. Its activitiesculminate in a new edition of the BPVCevery three years.The BPVC is “An International HistoricMechanical Engineering Landmark,”widely recognized as a model forcodes and standards worldwide. Itsdevelopment process remains openand transparent throughout, yielding“living documents” that have improvedpublic safety and facilitated trade acrossglobal markets and jurisdictions fornearly a century.In the formulation of its rules and in theestablishment of maximum design andoperating pressures, the Committeeconsiders technological advancesincluding materials, construction, methodsof fabrication, inspection, certification,and overpressure protection. The resultsreflect the best practices of industry,while continuing to improve safety for thegeneral public.“We’re helping people. We’re tryingto provide safe environments forpeople to live in.”- Richard W. BarnesSenior EngineerAnric Enterprises, Inc.go.asme.org/bpvc102
