• On the Monday morning of March 20, 1905, George E. Smith stirred

from sleep, put foot to floor, and stepped into a new day.
• George was one of the thousands of laborers who made his living in
the booming industrial community of Brockton, Massachusetts.
• The city, about 30 miles south of Boston, had become a major hub
of the world’s footwear industry.
• At the turn of the 20th century, Brockton was home to over 400
factories; more than 90 of those manufactured footwear or shoe-
related items, giving Brockton its then-nickname, “Shoe City.”
• After saying goodbye to his wife and three daughters, George left
his home and joined the bustling workforce of Brockton.
• He was employed at the R. B. Grover & Co. shoe factory, which was
established by Civil War Captain Robbins B. Grover.
• The factory employed over 450 people and was bestknown for its
popular Emerson shoe.

• But as the clock inched closer to 8:00 a.m., something

happened at the Grover factory that triggered an outcry so
powerful, its far-reaching effect still resonates today.
• Many profound shifts in America’s history have started with
an outcry for change, followed by the arduous work of
seeing it through.
• Many are familiar with the well-worn phrase, “safety
doesn’t happen by accident.” Indeed. In modern society,
safety is the DNA of public codes, standards, and laws.
• But in the early 1900s, when George E. Smith was carving
out an honest living and raising his family, safety did
happen by accident – many accidents, in fact, that
accompanied the rise of industrialization.

Evolving Concern
• Decades before George E. Smith came face-to-face with steam
power’s deadly force, the consequences of the misuse and
misunderstanding of steam and boilers was terrorizing communities
at an alarming rate.

• In their book, An Evolving Concern: Technology, Safety, and the

Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company 1866-
1991, Glenn Weaver and J. Bard McNulty describe the 1850s thus:
“Although there were literally thousands of steam boilers in
operation throughout the United States, there was an almost
abysmal ignorance about the properties of steam and the causes of
boiler explosions.

• Explosions were occurring at the rate of almost one every four days,
but most people concerned with the use of steam power simply
accepted them as ‘acts of God.’ ” Most people.

• In the latter part of the 1800s, engineers, manufacturers, and others who either
shared an interest in science or who worked with steam equipment were
concerned and began meeting to discuss current topics, particularly steam power
and the problem of boiler explosions.

• Longstanding organizations such as The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and

Insurance Company, The Babcock & Wilcox Company, The American Boiler
Manufacturers Association, and of course, ASME, formed during these seminal
years.

• Each shared the concern of boiler dangers and certainly sought improvement.
• But it would take time, study, and great loss of life before engineering solutions
would merge with legislation to bring industrial safety to new prominence.

• What happened in Brockton to George E. Smith and 57 other innocents would

shake a state to decisive action in a movement closely tied to the history of the
boiler and pressure vessel industry and the adoption of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.

• The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a

professional association that, in its own words, "promotes
the art, science, and practice of multidisciplinary
engineering and allied sciences around the globe" via
"continuing education, training and professional
development, codes and standards, research, conferences
and publications, government relations, and other forms of
outreach."[1]
• ASME is thus an engineering society, a standards
organization, a research and development organization, a
lobbying organization, a provider of training and education,
and a nonprofit organization. Founded as an engineering
society focused on mechanical engineering in North
America, ASME is today multidisciplinary and global.

• ASME has over 140,000 members in 158 countries

worldwide.[2]
• ASME was founded in 1880 by:
– Alexander Lyman Holley,
– Henry Rossiter Worthington,
– John Edison Sweet and
– Matthias N. Forney in response to numerous steam boiler
pressure vessel failures.[3]
• Known for setting codes and standards for mechanical
devices, ASME conducts one of the world's largest
technical publishing operations,[4] holds numerous
technical conferences and hundreds of professional
development courses each year, and sponsors
numerous outreach and educational programs.

ASME codes and standards

• ASME is one of the oldest standards-developing organizations in
America.
• It produces approximately 600 codes and standards covering many
technical areas, such as fasteners, plumbing fixtures, elevators,
pipelines, and power plant systems and components.
• ASME's standards are developed by committees of subject matter
experts using an open, consensus-based process.
• Many ASME standards are cited by government agencies as tools to
meet their regulatory objectives.
• ASME standards are therefore voluntary, unless the standards have
been incorporated into a legally binding business contract or
incorporated into regulations enforced by an authority having
jurisdiction, such as a federal, state, or local government agency.
• ASME's standards are used in more than 100 countries and have
been translated into numerous languages.[5]

ASME codes and standards

• The largest ASME standard, both in size and in the number of
volunteers involved in its preparation, is the ASME Boiler and
Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC).
– The BPVC provides rules for the design, fabrication, installation,
inspection, care, and use of boilers, pressure vessels, and nuclear
components. The code also includes standards on materials, welding
and brazing procedures and qualifications, nondestructive
examination, and nuclear in-service inspection.

• Other Notable Standardization Areas includes

– Elevators and Escalators (A17 Series),
– Piping and Pipelines (B31 Series),
– Bioprocessing Equipment (BPE),
– Valves Flanges, Fittings and Gaskets (B16),
– Nuclear Components and Processes Performance Test Codes.

Nilai-nilai inti ASME meliputi:

• Meningkatkan integritas dan perilaku etis
• Menghormati keragaman dan menghormati martabat dan
budaya dari semua orang
• Memelihara dan menghargai lingkungan dan sumber daya
alam kita dan buatan manusia
• Memfasilitasi pengembangan, penyebaran dan penerapan
pengetahuan teknik
• Mempromosikan manfaat dari pendidikan berkelanjutan
dan pendidikan teknik
• Menghormati dan dokumen sejarah rekayasa sementara
terus merangkul perubahan
• Meningkatkan kontribusi teknis dan sosial dari insinyur

ASME BPVC
• The BPVC was created in response to public outcry after several
serious explosions in the state of Massachusetts. A fire-tube boiler
exploded at the Grover Shoe Factory in Brockton, Massachusetts on
March 20, 1905 which resulted in the deaths of 58 people and
injured 150. Then on December 6, 1906 a boiler in the factory of
the P.J. Harney Shoe Company exploded in Lynn, Massachusetts. As
a result, the state of Massachusetts enacted the first legal code
based on ASME's rules for the construction of steam boilers in
1907.[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]
