ASME BPVC.CC.BPV-2025

2025 ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Code Cases: Boilers and Pressure Vessels

PUBLISH DATE 2025
ASME BPVC.CC.BPV-2025
The purpose of ASME BPVC.CC.BPV-2025 is to serve as a compendium of Code Cases: Boilers and Pressure Vessels. This publication gathers all officially approved alternatives and additions to the mandatory rules found in the non-nuclear construction sections of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC).
How This Publication is Typically Used This document is used to provide engineers, manufacturers, and inspectors with technical solutions for specific situations that are not fully or adequately addressed by the latest published Code edition. Code Cases are typically published to resolve urgent technical issues, permit the use of new materials or technologies before they can be formally incorporated into the main Code, or provide alternative rules to certain requirements. The CC.BPV volume is specifically for non-nuclear pressure equipment and is referenced by:
  • Section I (Power Boilers)
  • Section IV (Heating Boilers)
  • Section VIII (Pressure Vessels, Divisions 1, 2, and 3)
  • Section X (FRP Vessels)
  • Section XII (Transport Tanks)
Its primary uses are:
  • Early Adoption of Technology: It allows the immediate use of new, approved materials or advanced fabrication methods (like certain welding processes or NDE techniques) without having to wait for the next two-year edition of the main Code. This facilitates innovation in the industry.
  • Alternative Rules: A Code Case may provide alternative rules to cover a specific Code requirement where strict adherence to the main Code is impractical or technically challenging for a particular application, while still maintaining the same level of safety.
  • Mandatory Requirements: Although Code Cases are non-mandatory in that a manufacturer is not required to use them, if a manufacturer chooses to apply a Code Case, all its provisions become mandatory requirements for that specific project. The Code Case must also be approved by the jurisdictional authority (state, province, or country) where the equipment will be installed.
In summary, BPVC.CC.BPV is a critical document for maintaining the flexibility, adaptability, and technological currency of the main BPVC construction codes by providing approved, specialized rules for cutting-edge or atypical situations.
