17、 the Society held in Chicago,Illinois in 1921. It was approved and adopted as a standards practice of the Society in 1924.During the years 1920 through 1970, the function of the Power Test Codes (as they were thenknown) continued to evolve and broaden. In recognition of these developments, the Code
18、onGeneral Instructions was revised twice. The revisions were approved by the Council on June 17,1945 and May 7, 1970, respectively.During the years 1970 through 1985, the scope of the Power Test Codes, now known asPerformance Test Codes (PTCs), was further broadened as a result of(a) their designati
19、on as American National Standards by the American National StandardsInstitute (ANSI)(b) an increased awareness of the relationship between U.S. domestic standards and theirinternational counterpart and a related need to reconcile substantially conflicting requirementsbetween U.S. and international d
20、ocuments(c) clarification on the use of uncertainty in test codesThese developments resulted in several additional revisions to the Code on General Instructionsthat were approved by the Board on Performance Test Code (BPTC) on May 13, 1970 (with theOctober 1971 Addenda), October 29, 1979, June 18, 1
21、986, and June 12, 1991.The subsequent revision of the Code was initiated in mid-1998. A Project Team was appointedby the BPTC to develop this revision under the ASME Redesign Process. The revised documentwas approved by the BPTC on November 19, 1998.The next revision was a major updating of PTC 1. T
22、he existing information contained in PTC 1was divided into two separate documents. One is the code writers guide, the PTC 1 Template.The other, PTC 1, contains mandatory information for all code users. This revision was approvedby the BPTC on December 9, 2003. It was also approved as an American Nat
23、ional Standard bythe ANSI Board on Standards Review on March 10, 2004.The current revision contains modifications to the previous version. Some new committeeshave been added and others discontinued. The template has not been updated at this time.This revision was approved by the PTC Standards Commit
24、tee on May 24, 2011 and approvedand adopted as a Standard practice of the Society by action of the Board on Standardization andTesting on August 8, 2011. It was also approved as an American National Standard, by the ANSIBoard of Standards Review, on November 14, 2011.ivASME PTC COMMITTEEPerformance

Code users shall consider it as part of each test.(a) The objectives of PTC 1, General
30、Instructions are as follows:(1) to define the purpose and scope of ASME PTCs(2) to list major industry applications where PTCs can be used(3) to provide direction on the use of equipment PTCs concerning the planning, preparation,implementation, and reporting of test results(b) The PTC Template is a
31、separate document. Relevant material was excerpted from PTC 1,General Instructions and should be incorporated in equipment PTCs. Use of the template ensuresuniformity and consistency throughout all of the PTCs that are being revised or issued for thefirst time. Changes to the Template will not be pu
32、blished. Instead, it will be posted on the PTCCommittee Web pages and therefore accessible for no charge to committee members. It may berevised as the need arises. ANSI approval is not required for any changes to the Template. Theobjectives of the Template are as follows:(1) to provide guidelines an
33、d directions to code-writing committees(2) to specify the required content in each equipment PTC(3) to define the standard format for the content of individual equipment PTCsviiINTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANKviiiASME PTC 1-2011GENERAL INSTRUCTIONSSection 1Purpose, Scope, and Organization1-1 DEFINITION AND
34、PURPOSEASME Performance Test Codes (PTCs) provide uni-form rules and procedures for the planning, preparation,execution, and reporting of performance test results.Test results provide numerical characteristics to the per-formance of equipment, systems, and plants beingtested. Throughout ASME PTC 1,
35、when the term“equipment” is used with reference to the object of aperformance test, it can refer to specific equipment,systems, or to entire plants.1-2 SCOPE AND ORGANIZATION OF PTCsMost ASME PTCs are applicable to a specified typeof equipment defined by the Code. There may be severalsubcategories o
36、f equipment covered by a single code.Types of equipment to which PTCs apply can be classi-fied into five broad categories. power production combustion and heat transfer fluid handling emission instruments, apparatus, and other supplementaldocumentsThe quantities that characterize performance aredefi
37、ned in each code for the equipment within its scope.Absolute performance characteristics determined byadherence to a PTC can be evaluated as compared todesign or predicted characteristics, to previous testresults, or they can be used to benchmark or ascertainperformance at a particular time.SomePTCs
38、 arewrittenas generaldocuments forrefer-ence in support of the equipment PTCs. These can beconsidered as technical reference material for the equip-ment codes. Three types of reference codes exist.The first type covers instrumentation used in the mea-surement of thermodynamic or process fluid parame
39、-ters, such as pressure, temperature, flow, and shaftpower. Such individual codes referring to process orthermodynamic quantities are known as PerformanceTest Code Instruments and Apparatus Supplements.1They are supplementary to the information on manda-tory instrumentation requirements contained in
40、 theequipmentcodes.Instrumentationinformationinequip-ment test codes supersedes the information given inthese supplements, but otherwise these supplementsshould be incorporated by reference in equipment testcodes where deemed appropriate by the committee.The second type covers guidance and reference
41、 infor-mation. It currently consists of PTC 1, GeneralInstructions, and PTC 2, Definitions and Values. PTC 2contains standards for terms, units, values of constants,and technical nomenclature.The third type addresses how to analyze the uncer-tainties associated with measurement of all primaryparamet
42、ers to develop overall test uncertainty.Figures 1-2-1 and 1-2-2 show the organization ofASME Performance Test Code categories.1-3 PHILOSOPHYPTCs provide guidelines for test procedures that yieldresults of the highest level of accuracy based on currentengineering knowledge, taking into account test c
43、ostsand the value of information obtained from testing. Pre-cision and reliability of test results must underlie allconsiderations in the development of an ASMEPerformance Test Code, consistent with economic con-siderationsasjudgedappropriatebyeachtechnicalcom-mittee and in keeping with the philosop
44、hy of the ASMEPerformance Test Codes Supervisory Committee.1-4 APPLICATIONS OF PTCsCode tests are suitable for use whenever performancemust be determined with minimum uncertainty. Theyare meant specifically for equipment operating in anindustrial setting. Typical uses include(a) determining if the e
45、quipment meets design orexpected performance criteria.(b) incorporating by reference into contracts to serveas a means to determine fulfillment of guarantees.ASME PTC 1-2011Fig. 1-2-1 Organization of Equipment Performance Test Codes%QUIPMENT#ODESPower Production Combustion and Heat Transfer Fluid Ha
