Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC)

The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) is a set of safety standards established by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) that governs the design, construction, and maintenance of boilers and pressure vessels. Its primary purpose is to ensure that these devices operate safely and efficiently, preventing accidents and failures that could endanger lives or property. The BPVC covers various aspects, including materials, design specifications, testing, and safety features, helping manufacturers and engineers adhere to uniform safety practices across different industries.
