ASME BPVC covers boilers and pressure vessels. Which equipment is primarily addressed by this code?

• A. Boilers and pressure vessels.
• B. Bridges.
• C. Aircraft engines.
• D. Toy manufacturing.

Answer: (A)

The BPVC is the safety standard specifically for equipment that contains and handles high-pressure fluids or steam. It lays out the design, materials, fabrication, inspection, and testing requirements to ensure boilers and pressure vessels operate safely. Those other options—bridges, aircraft engines, and toys—are governed by different codes and standards, not the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. So the equipment primarily addressed by this code is boilers and pressure vessels.
