This title accurately represents the 2023 edition of Section X of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), focusing on Fiber-Reinforced Plastic Pressure Vessels. Published by ASME International on July 1, 2023, this standard provides comprehensive guidelines for the construction of pressure vessels made from fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP).

Key Features

Scope and Content The 2023 edition of ASME BPVC Section X covers:

  • Requirements for the construction of fiber-reinforced plastic pressure vessels
  • Conformance with a manufacturer's design report
  • Production, processing, fabrication, inspection, and testing methods
  • Three classes of vessel design:
    • Class I and Class III: Qualification through destructive testing of a prototype
    • Class II: Mandatory design rules and acceptance testing by nondestructive methods

Design and Fabrication

  • Vessels are not permitted to store, handle, or process lethal fluids
  • Fabrication processes include bag-molding, centrifugal casting, filament-winding, and contact molding
  • Use of the ASME certification mark with the RP designator is included

Importance and Application

This comprehensive standard is essential for:

  • Manufacturers of fiber-reinforced plastic pressure vessels
  • Designers and engineers working with FRP materials
  • Regulatory bodies and inspectors

It ensures safety and compliance in industries using FRP pressure vessels by providing detailed construction requirements. The standard is particularly relevant for applications where lightweight and corrosion-resistant materials are advantageous. By offering guidelines specific to FRP pressure vessels, this standard plays a crucial role in maintaining the safety and integrity of such equipment across various industries.
