ASME Boiler & Vessel Pressure Code Links

In summary, the ASME Boiler & Vessel Pressure Code is a set of standards and guidelines developed and maintained by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) for the design, construction, and inspection of boilers, pressure vessels, and nuclear power plant components. Its purpose is to ensure the safe and reliable operation of such equipment and provide guidelines for compliance with safety and quality standards. The code is divided into 12 sections covering different areas of pressure equipment and is commonly used and referenced alongside other codes and standards. It is often adopted by regulatory agencies and used as a requirement in contracts between manufacturers and purchasers.

Hi alok,
The code has to be purchased, it's not available online. You can obtain it directly from http://www.asme.org/kb/standards/bpvc-resources/boiler-and-pressure-vessel-code---2010-edition/ or you might want to go through another company such as IHS that provides a wide variety of industry standards.
