Le Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) est un document de l'ASME relatif aux appareils de pression et aux chaudières. Il est rédigé et maintenu par le Boiler and Pressure Committee.
Ce code définit les règles de sécurité concernant la résistance à la pression qui président à la conception, à la fabrication et à l'inspection des chaudières et des appareils sous pression ainsi qu'aux centrales nucléaires durant leur construction.
