ASME PTC 6-2004 Steam Turbines Performance Test Codes

An American National Standard. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Revision of ASME PTC 6-1996. Date of Issuance: October 31, 2005. Erratum to ASME PTC 6-2004, February 2006. 116p. This Code provides procedures for the accurate testing of steam turbines. It is recommended for use in conducting acceptance tests of steam turbines and any other situation in which performance levels must be determined with minimum uncertainty. It is the intent of this Code that accurate instrumentation and best possible measurement techniques be used to determine the performance. In planning and running the test, the parties must strive to follow the Code procedures as closely as possible to achieve the lowest level of uncertainty.
