ASME BPVC.II.B-2025

2025 ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section II, Part B, Nonferrous Material Specifications

PUBLISH DATE 2025
ASME BPVC.II.B-2025
The purpose of ASME BPVC.II.B-2025 is to provide the standard material specifications for nonferrous materials suitable for use in the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, and other pressure-retaining equipment.
What It Is Used For ASME BPVC.II.B-2025 is an essential reference, or "Service Section," used by engineers, manufacturers, designers, and inspectors who apply the main construction rules of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) (e.g., Section I, Section III, Section VIII). Its primary uses are:
  • Material Selection and Specification: It contains detailed specifications, designated by SB numbers (e.g., SB-111 for copper and copper-alloy condenser tubes), for nonferrous materials. These materials include aluminum, copper, nickel, titanium, zirconium, and their various alloys.
  • Defining Material Properties: The specifications in this section establish the mandatory requirements for the chemical composition, mechanical properties (such as tensile and yield strength), heat treatment, and testing methods for these materials. This ensures the nonferrous materials can safely withstand the required operating pressures and temperatures.
  • Compliance and Quality Assurance: Adherence to the SB-numbered specifications in this document is mandatory for manufacturers and constructors to ensure that the nonferrous materials they use in pressure equipment meet the rigorous safety and quality standards of the ASME BPVC.
As part of BPVC Section II – Materials, Part B ensures that all construction sections of the BPVC that permit the use of nonferrous metals have a controlled, safe, and verifiable source of material property and quality requirements.
