ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code A Historical Perspective


Helped solve a major safety problem of the late 19th and early 20th century Throughout the 1800s, both boiler size and operating pressure continued to increase The number of explosions tripled between 1879 and 1899 (383 more than one per day) Steam boiler explosions were costing thousands of lives Examples: Steam boat Sultana - The ships boiler(s) exploded on April 27, 1865 killing 1800 people The Grover Shoe Factory boiler explosion on March 20, 1905 in Brockton, Massachusetts

58 people were killed and 150 were injured.

ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code A Historical Perspective


Following a number of explosions of this type states

began to develop their own boiler laws. This led to the development of different laws among the states. An ASME Committee developed the Boiler Code between 1911 and 1914. Provided for safe construction and promoted commerce through consistency of requirements.

The methodology used in creating the Boiler Code set the standard for modern code-development.
