ASME construction codes

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) publishes codes for manufacturing boilers and pressure vessels. According to their agreement with ASME, all organizations that manufacture ASME-certified boilers and pressure vessels must follow the latest edition of codes 6 months after ASME publishes them.

The following ASME code editions have been reviewed and accepted through the newest edition of the CSA B51:24. We would like to update the PEBPVRSR to align with the following codes:

• ASME BPVC.I - 2023 Rules for construction of power boilers
• ASME BPVC.IV - 2023 Rules for construction of heating boilers
• ASME BPVC.VIII.1, .2, .3 - 2023 Rules for construction of pressure vessels, divisions 1, 2, and 3
• ASME BPVC.X - 2023 Fiber-reinforced plastic pressure vessels
• ASME BPVC.XII - 2023 Rules for construction and continued service of transport tanks
• ASME/ANSI PVHO-1 - 2023 Safety standard for pressure vessels for human occupancy

All industry organizations are already using the latest editions of these codes.
