ASME
Definition: ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) publishes technical codes and standards, in particular the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC). This defines requirements for the design, materials, manufacture and testing of pressure equipment.
Practical relevance: The ASME BPVC is recognised worldwide and forms the basis of many international plant projects. It contains specific requirements for materials, welding procedures and NDT.
