ASME PTC 4-2008 Fired Steam Generators

An American National Standard. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). 2009. Revision of ASME PTC 4-1998. 294p. The rules and instructions presented in this Code apply to fired steam generators. These include coal, oil, and gas-fired steam generators as well as steam generators fired by other hydrocarbon fuels. The scope also includes steam generators with integral fuel-sulfur capture utilizing chemical sorbents.
Steam generators that are not fired by coal, oil, or gas may be tested using the concepts of this Code, but it should be noted that the uncertainty caused by variability of the fuel may be difficult to determine and is likely to be greater than the uncertainties in sampling and analysis of coal, oil, or gas.
