    About the BPVC

    Since its first issuance in 1914, ASME’s Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) has pioneered modern standards-development, maintaining a commitment to enhance public safety and technological advancement to meet the needs of a changing world.  More than 100,000 copies of the BPVC are in use in 100 countries around the world. 

    Product Scope / Abstract

    This Section provides requirements for construction of an FRP pressure vessel in conformance with a manufacturer's design report.  It includes production, processing, fabrication, inspection and testing methods required for the vessel.  Section X includes three Classes of vessel design; Class I and Class III - qualification through the destructive test of a prototype and Class II - mandatory design rules and acceptance testing by nondestructive methods.  These vessels are not permitted to store, handle or process lethal fluids.  Vessel fabrication is limited to the following processes: bag-molding, centrifugal casting and filament-winding and contact molding.  General specifications for the glass and resin materials and minimum physical properties for the composite materials are given.

    Intended for manufacturers, users, constructors, designers and others concerned with the design, fabrication, assembly, erection, examination, inspection and testing of pressure vessels, plus all potential governing entities.
