American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), founded in 1880, is one of the oldest standards-developing organizations in America. It is a not-for-profit organization that enables collaboration, knowledge sharing, career enrichment, and skills development across all engineering disciplines, toward a goal of helping the global engineering community develop solutions to real world challenges. ASME sets standards mainly in mechanical engineering including Boiler and Pressure Vessels Code, Performance Test Codes and ASME Y14.5 Dimensioning Tolerancing.
Â
ASME codes and standards, publications, conferences, continuing education and professional development programs provide a foundation for advancing technical knowledge and a safer world.
Â
The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) is one of the most popular and must-have codes of ASME that help to regulate the design and construction of boilers and pressure vessels. BPVC is written and maintained by volunteers chosen for their technical expertise.
