Description

This document provides direction to code users in conducting tests (planning, preparation, implementation and reporting) and the expected uncertainties. It is considered part of the test.
Ptc 1, general instructions, provides direction users code-writing committees performance test codes. code’s shall consider part test. objectives 1 define purpose scope asme codes, list major industry applications ptcs can used, provide use equipment codes concerning planning, preparation, implementation, reporting results. applicable specific type defined code. may several subcategories covered single types apply classified five broad categories: (a) electrical mechanical power producing; (b) combustion heat transfer; (c) fluid handling; (d) emission control, and; (e) allied equipment. quantities, characterize performance, code within scope. characteristics determined adherence evaluated compared design predicted characteristics, previous results, used benchmark ascertain particular time. written documents reference, support ptcs. considered technical reference material divided three types. first addresses measurement phenomena closely associated equipment, emissions. second covers instrumentation thermodynamic process parameters, pressure, temperature, flow, steam quality, analyze uncertainties primary parameters develop overall uncertainty included type. individual referring quantities known instruments apparatus supplements. supplementary information mandatory requirements contained supersede given supplements, supplements referenced deemed appropriate committee. third miscellaneous information, currently consists 1and 2, “definitions values.”
