Published in 1914-15, the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) was the first comprehensive standard for the design, construction, inspection, and testing of boilers and pressure vessels. With adoption in the United States and use in many countries, it has contributed significantly to public safety and influenced the continued development of boiler and pressure vessel technology.

Created by Don A. Sillers, founder of Peerless Manufacturing, and Alexander Clarke, this early Type M gas odorizer—Serial No. 2105—served from 1942 to 1992. It injected a precise amount of pungent liquid into the gas flow. The patent was filed June 18, 1939, and granted (2,240,808) on May 6, 1941. The Type M odorizer established itself as a dependable, long-lasting safety device. This particular unit operated 25 years without maintenance.
