Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. It would be better to either provide reference links to official documentation describing all changes between code versions, or perhaps to only show changes to the most recent code version. The reason given is: Table is extremely vague and only includes a subset of all changes to the code in each issue year. Hence in February 1919, the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors was formed. Īfter the first edition of the Code, the verifications required by the Code were performed by independent inspectors, which resulted in a wide range of interpretations. As of March 2011 the document consisted of 16,000 pages in 28 volumes. It developed over time into the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel code, which today has over 92,000 copies in use, in over 100 countries around the world. The first edition of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, known as the 1914 edition, was a single 114-page volume. This committee put in the form work for the first edition of the ASME Boiler Code - Rules for the Construction of Stationary Boilers and for the Allowable Working Pressures, which was issued in 1914 and published in 1915.
ĪSME convened the Board of Boiler Rules before it became the ASME Boiler Code Committee which was formed in 1911. As a result, the state of Massachusetts enacted the first legal code based on ASME's rules for the construction of steam boilers in 1907. Harney Shoe Company exploded in Lynn, Massachusetts. Then on December 6, 1906, a boiler in the factory of the P.J. A fire-tube boiler exploded at the Grover Shoe Factory in Brockton, Massachusetts, on March 20, 1905, which resulted in the deaths of 58 people and injured 150. The BPVC was created in response to public outcry after several serious explosions in the state of Massachusetts. The ASME works as an accreditation body and entitles independent third parties (such as verification, testing and certification agencies) to inspect and ensure compliance to the BPVC. The document is written and maintained by volunteers chosen for their technical expertise. The ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) is an American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standard that regulates the design and construction of boilers and pressure vessels.
