The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) is a set of standards developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers to ensure the safety and reliability of boilers and pressure vessels. It provides guidelines for design, materials, fabrication, inspection, and testing, helping to prevent accidents and failures in these critical systems. The code is widely adopted in various industries, including power generation, manufacturing, and oil and gas. Compliance with the BPVC is often required by law or industry regulations, making it essential for engineers and manufacturers to adhere to its standards for safe operation and public safety.
