· PDF fileHot water heating boilers and hot water supply boilers both have the same ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) stamp on the nameplate, which is the H stamp. This stamp tells the inspector which types of controls are needed for the boiler based on ASME manufacturing code and NBIC (National Board Inspection Code) requirements.

The ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) is an American Society of Mechanical As a result, the state of Massachusetts enacted the first legal code based on ASME's rules for the construction of steam boilers in 1907.

01-01-2013· Most engineers agree, and several U.S. state boiler codes require that the steam drum be designed to ASME Section 1. In non-code states, the drum may be designed to Section VIII. Steam superheat tubes, economizer tubes and steam generation tubes are also designed to meet the requirements of ASME Section 1.

The ASME BPVC Certification Program conforms to the rules governing the design, fabrication, assembly, and inspection of boiler and pressure vessel components during construction.

For instance, the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code is a standard providing a wide range of rules and directives to ensure compliance of the boilers and other pressure vessels with safety, security and design standards.
