21、equirements of ASME PTC 1, General Instructions. The following information is based on that document and is included here for emphasis and for the convenience of the user of the Code. It is expected that the Code user is fully cognizant of Sections 1 and 3 of ASME PTC 1 and has read them prior to ap
22、plying this Code.ASME Performance Test Codes provide test procedures that yield results of the highest level of accuracy consistent with the best engineering knowledge and practice currently available. They were developed by balanced committees representing all concerned interests and specify proced
23、ures, instrumentation, equipment-operating requirements, cal-culation methods, and uncertainty analysis.When tests are run in accordance with a Code, the test results themselves, without adjustment for uncertainty, yield the best available indication of the actual performance of the tested equipment
24、. ASME Performance Test Codes do not specify means to compare those results to contractual guarantees. Therefore, it is recommended that the parties to a commercial test agree before starting the test and preferably before signing the contract on the method to be used for comparing the test results
25、to the contractual guarantees. It is beyond the scope of any Code to determine or interpret how such comparisons shall be made.Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME Not for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-viFOREWORDWhen the wo
26、rk of revising the ASME Power Test Codes of 1915 was undertaken, it was decided to include a commit-tee to develop three separate test codes on condensing apparatus, feedwater heaters, and water-cooling equipment. The resulting Test Code for Steam-Condensing Apparatus, after passing through the prel
27、iminary stages in the procedure prescribed by the Main Committee, was printed in tentative form in the May 1924 issue of Mechanical Engineering and was presented to the Society for discussion at a public hearing held during the spring meeting in Cleveland in May 1924. At the December 1924 meeting of
28、 the PTC Supervisory Committee (now known as the Board on Performance Codes), it was approved in its final revised form, and on October 5, 1925, it was approved and adopted by the Council as a standard practice of the Society.Early in 1933, Committee No. 12 decided to completely revise the Test Code
29、 for Steam-Condensing Apparatus. At the April 4, 1938, meeting of the PTC Supervisory Committee, this second version of the Code was approved, and on July 15, 1938, it superseded the previous one and was adopted by the Council as a standard practice of the Society.With the reorganization of PTC Comm
30、ittee No. 12 on Condensers, Feedwater Heaters, and Deaerators in 1948, the main Power Test Codes Committee requested that the Test Code for Steam-Condensing Apparatus be updated. This third edition of the Code was approved at the December 4, 1953, meeting of the Power Test Codes Committee and adopte
31、d by the Council as a standard practice of the Society on March 9, 1954.In January 1970, the PTC Supervisory Committee requested the Test Code for Steam-Condensing Apparatus be reviewed and updated. That fourth version of the Code was approved by the Board on Performance Test Codes on May 7, 1981, a
32、nd it became an American National Standard in January 1983.The Board on Performance Test Codes in 1988 directed the Code again be reviewed to ensure it reflected current engi-neering practices. A new Code Committee was organized in early 1989 containing members from a wide geographi-cal area. It com
33、prised about equal numbers of manufacturing, user, and general interest members to ensure balanced Committee actions. The 1989 Committee was organized into four subcommittees Guiding Principles, Test Procedures, Instruments and Methods, and Computation of Results to ensure each section of the Code r
34、evision would be properly addressed and the work would be accomplished effectively.Based on experience with the two previous versions of the Condenser Code, the reorganized Committee determined to make this Code modern, accurate, practical, useful, and cost-effective. It also identified the objectiv
35、e of extending the Code to include performance monitoring, because of the relatively large effect of operating condensers on plant genera-tion and efficiency.These ambitious goals translated into extensive revisions that triggered an almost complete rewrite. The major areas were revised, and the rat
36、ionale for the 1998 revision of this Code was as follows:(a) Instruments. To take advantage of the then-significant advances in the field, instrumentation recommendations were modernized.(b) Heat Transfer. To enlarge the schedule “window” for the condenser test while maintaining accurate test result
37、s, the separate heat-transfer resistance method with the latest correlations was adopted.(c) Implementation. To clarify the Code rules and produce a virtually self-contained document, techniques and instrumentation descriptions were written in an explicit and detailed manner.(d) Uncertainty Determin
38、ations. To ensure proper applications of uncertainty analysis, all the particulars of this somewhat daunting estimate (a very important and now necessary aspect of every test) were presented.(e) Data Acquisition. To improve the condenser test effectiveness, computerized data acquisition for the test
39、ing and data reduction was recommended; however, the Code was written so that this approach was not necessary.(f) Cleanliness Testing. To be certain the condenser performance results were not predestined, a mandatory cleanli-ness test was required by the 1998 edition of the Code. It is important to
40、note, though, that the previous cleanliness test section was replaced in its entirety with a new, pragmatic fouling test procedure.Last, the expanded fifth edition of the Code was retitled Steam Surface Condensers. This Code was approved by the PTC 12.2 Committee on January 20, 1996. It was then app
41、roved and adopted by the Council as a standard practice of the Society by action of the Board on Performance Test Codes (BPTC) on December 20, 1996. This Performance Test Code was also approved as an American National Standard by the ANSI Board of Standards Review on February 20, 1998.The 1998 Conde
42、nser Test Code was mainly focused on conducting a rigorous, full-scale acceptance test. After several years of experience with that Code, it was reported that its use was infrequent because of the complicated and expensive requirements of a full-scale condenser performance test. The PTC 12.2 Committ
43、ee was reconstituted on June 14, 2007, to undertake a revision of the Code. The Committee decided that the revision would include a less rigorous test that would Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME Not for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license
44、 from IHS-,-,-viialso be considered as an acceptance test. The rationale was to better establish equipment-performance metrics with the philosophy of promoting testing. This less-accurate test provides a slight relaxation of the allowable test conditions and requirements. The revision includes an up
45、date of the condenser test technology.This, the sixth edition of the Code, was approved by the PTC Standards Committee on November 2, 2009, and approved and adopted as a standard practice of the Society by action of the Board on Standardization and Testing on December 8, 2009. The Performance Test C
46、ode was also approved as an American National Standard by the ANSI Board of Standards Review on January 14, 2010.Copyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME Not for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-viiiASME PTC COMMITTEEPerformance T
