ASME BPVC.V-2025

2025 ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section V, Nondestructive Examination

PUBLISH DATE 2025
ASME BPVC.V-2025
The purpose of ASME BPVC.V-2025 is to standardize the methods and requirements for Nondestructive Examination (NDE) used to verify the quality and integrity of materials and finished components built to other sections of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC).
What It Is Used For ASME BPVC.V-2025 (Section V) is a core reference or "Service Section" that provides the procedural requirements for all major NDE techniques. It does not contain acceptance standards (i.e., criteria on what constitutes a defect); those are found in the specific construction sections (like Section I, Section III, or Section VIII) that reference Section V. Its primary uses are:
  • Standardizing NDE Techniques: It contains the mandatory requirements for preparing, performing, and reporting the results of various NDE methods intended to detect surface and internal discontinuities (flaws) in base materials, welds, and fabricated parts. Key methods covered include:
    • Radiographic Examination (RT)
    • Ultrasonic Examination (UT) (for welds and materials)
    • Liquid Penetrant Examination (PT)
    • Magnetic Particle Examination (MT)
    • Visual Examination (VT)
    • Leak Testing (LT)
  • Personnel and Procedure Qualification: It includes requirements for the manufacturer's examination responsibilities, the duties of the Authorized Inspector, and the mandatory requirements for the qualification and certification of NDE personnel who perform and interpret these examinations.
  • Mandatory Reference: Any time a construction code (like ASME Section VIII, Division 1) requires NDE, it refers to the applicable Article within Section V. For example, Section VIII might state: "All main seam welds shall be radiographed in accordance with ASME Section V, Article 2."
In summary, BPVC.V is the authoritative procedural guide that ensures a high, consistent level of quality control and flaw detection is applied when fabricating critical pressure-retaining equipment worldwide.
