The ASME Boiler and Vessel Code (BPVC) is a set of safety standards developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. It regulates the design, manufacture, installation, inspection and care of boilers, nuclear components, and other pressure vessels. The standards not only apply to boilers, but pressure containment systems of all sorts such as piping, heat exchangers, fuel cells, etc. 

Some systems are subject to differential thermal expansion (DTE) and this will change the design stresses. DTE is experienced when connecting materials expand or contract at different rates during a change in temperature and impact the performance of the joint integrity.
