ASME PTC 10-1997 Performance Test Code on Compressors and Exhausters

An American National Standard. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Date of Issuance: September 30,1998. 191p. The object of this Code is to provide a test procedure to determine the thermodynamic performance of an axial or centrifugal compressor or exhauster doing work on a gas of known or measurable properties under specified conditions.
This Code is written to provide explicit test procedures which will yield the highest level of accuracy consistent with the best engineering knowledge and practice currently available. Nonetheless, no single universal value of the uncertainty is, or should be, expected to apply to every test
