锅炉和压力容器规范

锅炉和压力容器规范(ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code,BPVC)是由美国机械工程师学会(American Society of Mechanical Engineers,ASME)所制定一项标准,用以釐定、制约锅炉压力容器的相关设计和建造方式和规限。[1]该规格是由拥有在相关领域专业及经验的从业员和志愿者所撰写,并会定期作出调整及更新。[2] 而美国机械工程师学会则会作为认证机构并可授权独立的第三方机构对工业设施如发电厂、生产厂房内的锅炉压力容器进行检验、测试,并确保其质量和性能表现等指标合符锅炉和压力容器规格的标准。[3]

历史

锅炉和压力容器规范是被撰写及制定于在20世纪初。原因是当时在美国麻省发生了数宗大型工业意外爆炸事件,并引起了公众及工程从业员对锅炉及压力容器相关工业安全的关注。在1905年3月20日,一座位于麻省布罗克顿(Brockton)格罗弗制鞋厂内的火管式锅炉发生巨大爆炸(详见格罗弗制鞋厂灾难事件英语Grover Shoe Factory disaster)并导致58人死亡及150人受伤。后来于1906年12月6日,一间位于麻省林恩市(Lynn)名为 P.J. Harney Shoe Company 的造鞋工厂内的锅炉发生爆炸。对此,麻省于1907年基于原有的美国机械工程师学会规条之上颁布了第一条针对建造蒸汽锅炉的法律。[4][5]

ASME convened the Board of Boiler Rules before it became the ASME Boiler Code Committee which was formed in 1911. This committee put in the form work for the first edition of the ASME Boiler Code - Rules for the Construction of Stationary Boilers and for the Allowable Working Pressures, which was issued in 1914 and published in 1915.[5]

第一版的锅炉和压力容器规范,即为1914年版本(1914 edition),包含单卷共114页。[6][7]随着时间和科技发展,时至今日已扩展至超过92,000份并应用于超过100个国家。[5] 截至March 2011年 (March 2011-Missing required parameter 1=month!),锅炉和压力容器规格包含共28卷共16,000页。[7]

自第一版的推出起,规范的更改和持续验证均由独立的顾问或专业的调查员执行,但亦同时导致了对规范程度不一的诠释。因此在1919年2月,国家锅炉与压力容器检验委员会英语National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors(National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors)因而成立。[5]

ADDENDA

Addenda, which include additions and revisions to the individual Sections of the Code, are issued accordingly for a particular edition of the code up until the next edition.[8] Addenda is no longer in use since Code Edition 2013. It has been replaced by two years edition period.

INTERPRETATIONS

ASME's interpretations to submitted technical queries relevant to a particular Section of the Code are issued accordingly. Interpretations are also available through the internet.[10]

CODES CASES

Code Cases provide rules that permit the use of materials and alternative methods of construction that are not covered by existing BPVC rules.[11] For those Cases that have been adopted will appear in the appropriate Code Cases book: "Boilers and Pressure Vessels" and "Nuclear Components."[8]

Codes Cases are usually intended to be incorporated in the Code in a later edition. When it is used, the Code Case specifies mandatory requirements which must be met as it would be with the Code. There are some jurisdictions that do not automatically accept Code Cases.[8]
