ASME BPVC

ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME BPVC)
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers establishes international rules of safety governing the design, fabrication, and inspection of boilers and pressure vessels, and nuclear power plant components during construction. The objective of the rules is to provide a margin for deterioration in service. Advancements in design and material and the evidence of experience are constantly being added.
