October 27, 2014IHS15 Inverness Way East Englewood, CO 80112Subject: 2015 BPVC Release & Revision CycleValued Partner:Please feel free to inform or remind your customers that the 2015 ASME Boiler and Pressure VesselCode will be released in the new two-year cycle and will be available in the summer of 2015. Code userswill continue to have the option of purchasing either the hardcopy or an electronic version from alicensed reseller, such as IHS.We have received positive feedback about the change to the two-year cycle. Certificate-holders arefinding it easier to comply with the Code with the elimination of the Addenda and a reduction in thechanges. As you know, the Errata, Interpretations and Code Cases will continue to be updated regularly,in between new releases of the Code, and will be available to your customers as they are issued as partof their online subscriptions or via hardcopy purchases.As I have mentioned in the past, the online IHS BPVC Advantage HTML version of the Code remainsavailable to those customers who wish to transition from print or the traditional read-only electronicversion to a dynamically linked, interactive tool. The HTML version of the Code has proven to beparticularly relevant to Code users given current issues around the engineering workforce and globalsupply chains.We are pleased that IHS again is participating in educating the industry about the changes to the BPVC,as well as the new revision cycle. I am confident that your customers will not only get the greatcustomer service they have enjoyed over the years but will have the convenience of obtaining ASMEreferenced standards, codes, companion data as well as opportunities to participate in training.Sincerely,Michael MerkerManaging Director, Conformity Assessment & Publishing 1-212-591-8480merkerm@asme.org

A Guide to the 2015ASME Boiler andPressure Vessel CodeThe ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code(BPVC) establishes rules of safety governingthe design, fabrication, maintenanceand inspection of boilers and pressurevessels, power producing machines (andassociated subsystems) and nuclear powerplant components.The latest version of the BPVC will includechanges that could impact virtually everyonewho uses the Code. Understanding thesechanges is critical to ensuring compliancewith the new requirements of the 2015 BPVC.Ensure you have all the information you needrelated to boilers and pressure vessels!For more information on the Code, visitwww.ihs.com/2015bpvc.5
A Few Facts About the BPVCTwo-year Publication CycleThe BPVC comprises three components:For many years the BPVC was on a three-year publication cycle,with a new edition of the Code being released every three years,and addenda being offered in intervening years. But with therelease of the 2013 BPVC, this publication cycle was changed toa two-year schedule. Therefore, the next edition of the BPVCwill be released in the Summer of 2015. Now that ASME is offeringa new edition of the BPVC every other year, it will no longerbe publishing addenda. ASME may issue errata to the Codeperiodically. These errata will be available at no charge on theIHS Standards Store.

This pressure may be obtainedfrom an external source or by the application of heat from a direct orindirect source, or any combination thereof. Specific requirementsapply to several classes of material used in pressure vesselconstruction, and also to fabrication methods such as welding,forging and brazing.Fiber-Reinforced PlasticPressure VesselsSection X: Fiber-Reinforced plasticPressure VesselsOrder OnlineDivision 1 contains mandatory and non-mandatory appendicesdetailing supplementary design criteria, nondestructive examinationand inspection acceptance standards. Rules pertaining to theuse of the single ASME certification mark with the U, UM and UVdesignators are also included.Provides requirements for construction of a fiber-reinforced plasticpressure vessel (FRP) in conformance with a manufacturer’s designreport. It includes production, processing, fabrication, inspectionand testing methods required for the vessel. Section X includesthree Classes of vessel design: Class I and Class III – qualificationthrough the destructive test of a prototype; and Class II –mandatory design rules and acceptance testing by nondestructivemethods. These vessels are not permitted to store, handle orprocess lethal fluids. Vessel fabrication is limited to the followingprocesses: bag-molding, centrifugal casting and filament-windingand contact molding. Rules pertaining to the use of the single ASMEcertification mark with the RP designator are also included.Division 2 requirements on materials, design, and nondestructiveexamination are more rigorous than in Division 1; however, higherdesign stress intensity values are permitted. These rules may alsoapply to human occupancy pressure vessels typically in the divingindustry. Rules pertaining to the use of the single ASME certificationmark with the U2 and UV designators are also included.Division 3 requirements are applicable to pressure vesselsoperating at either internal or external pressures generally above10,000 psi.It does not establish maximum pressure limits for either Section VIII,Divisions 1 or 2, nor minimum pressure limits for this Division. Rulespertaining to the use of the single ASME certification mark with theU3 and UV3 designator are also included.Related Standards:ASME Section V: Nondestructive ExaminationASME B16.1: Gray Iron Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings: Classes25, 125, and 250ASME B16.5: Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings: NPS 1/2 throughNPS 24 Metric/Inch StandardASME B18. 22.1: Plain WasherRelated Standards:ASME Pipes & Fitting Set: ASME B16 Standards on Wrought andForged Pipe Fittings and FlangesASME B31.1: PipingASME B31.3: Process PipingASME QAI-1: Qualifications for Authorized InspectionConstruction of Nuclear FacilityComponentsSection III: Rules for Construction of NuclearFacility ComponentsSection XII: Transport TanksOrder OnlineOrder OnlineProvides general requirements which address the material, design,fabrication, examination, testing and overpressure protection of theitems specified within each respective Subsection, assuring theirstructural integrity.Provides requirements for construction and continued serviceof pressure vessels for the transportation of dangerous goodsvia highway, rail, air or water at pressures from full vacuum to3,000 psig and volumes greater than 120 gallons. “Construction”is an all-inclusive term comprising materials, design, fabrication,examination, inspection, testing, certification, and over-pressureprotection. “Continued service” refers to inspection, testing, repair,alteration, and recertification of a transport tank that has been inservice.
