    1. Definition
    2

     The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) is an American


    Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standard that provides rules
    for the design, fabrication, and inspection of boilers and pressure
    vessels.
     A pressure component designed and fabricated in accordance with this
    standard will have a long, useful service life, and one that ensures the
    protection of human life and property.
     Volunteers, who are nominated to its committees based on their
    technical expertise and on their ability to contribute to the writing,
    revising, interpreting, and administering of the document, write the
    BPVC.
