ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME BPV Code) is a code that is published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers which is used as standard for design, repair and maintenance, inspect, manufacture, and construct boiler and pressure vessel. ASME code is first published in 1914, since 1954 it had been renewed in every 3 years and also ASME will issue addenda every year. The latest edition now is ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code 2010 edition. This code had been accepted internationally.
ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME BPV Code) consists of 12 sections. Each section consists of parts, divisions, and subsections. The cost to buy complete ASME BPV code is approximately $6500 more. The following below are sections of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code:
a) ASME BPV Code Section 12 - Rules for the Construction & Continued Service of Transport Tanks
