ANSI/ASME PTC 6S-1988 (R2003)
Performance Test Code - Steam Turbines, Simplified Procedures for Routine Tests
The test procedures of this Report are intended for periodic turbine tests and do not supplant the Code (PTC 6) as the basic procedure for turbine acceptance tests. The Code is used for the accurate testing of steam turbines to obtain performance level with minimum uncertainty. Sections 3 through 5 of this Report present general recommendations for instrumentation and test planning. These recommendations are based on current industry practice for the periodic determination of turbine-cycle performance. Section 6 discusses interpretation of test results and shows typical plots of test data for analysis of turbine performance. Sections 7 through 12 present test procedures for selected types of turbine cycles. Each of these procedures contains specific recommendations for instrumentation and method for testing a selected turbine type.
