Hot Spot 2013 ASME BPVC

By BVAA’s Technical Consultant, Peter Churm

ASME BPVC Code will be moving from a three year cycle to a two year publication cycle.

2013 ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code will be published in July 2013.

The BPVC establishes rules of safety governing the design, fabrication, maintenance and inspection of boilers and pressure vessels, power producing machines (and associated subsystems) and nuclear power plant components. The objective of the rules is to provide a margin for deterioration in service.

With the release of the 2013 ASME BPVC the Code will be moving from a three year cycle to a two year cycle.

The change to the two year cycle, made at the request of industry, will considerably enhance the ability of certificate holders to comply with the code, with the elimination of the Addenda and a reduction in the changes that will be required in manuals between updates.

The Errata, Interpretations and Code Cases will continue to be updated regularly, in between new releases of the Code.

BSI is offering a 5% ‘early Bird’ discount on Preorder copies in either hard copy or PDF before 31 March 2013.
