The following information is based on that document and is included here for em-phasis and for the convenience of the user of the Code. It is expect
35、ed that the Code user is fullycognizant of Sections 1 and 3 of ASME PTC 1 and has read them prior to applying this Code.ASME Performance Test Codes provide test procedures that yield results of the highest levelof accuracy consistent with the best engineering knowledge and practice currently availab
36、le. Theywere developed by balanced committees representing all concerned interests and specify proce-dures, instrumentation, equipment-operating requirements, calculation methods, and uncertaintyanalysis.When tests are run in accordance with a Code, the test results themselves, without adjustmentfor
37、 uncertainty, yield the best available indication of the actual performance of the tested equip-ment. ASME Performance Test Codes do not specify means to compare those results to contrac-tual guarantees. Therefore, it is recommended that the parties to a commercial test agree beforestarting the test
38、, and preferably before signing the contract, on the method to be used for com-paring the test results to the contractual guarantees. It is beyond the scope of any Code to de-termine or interpret how such comparisons shall be made.vFOREWORDThe Performance Test Codes Supervisory Committee, at its Jun
39、e 1974 Administrative meeting,authorized the formation of a Code Technical Committee to explore the possibility of writing atest code on condensate removal devices. This committee was organized January 15, 1975. At itsorganizational meeting, the committee proposed the writing of two codes, PTC 39.1
40、on Conden-sate Removal Devices for Steam Systems and PTC 39.2 on Condensate Removal Devices for AirSystems. This proposal was approved by the Performance Test Codes Supervisory Committee.The Code for Condensate Removal Devices for Steam Systems was approved by the Perfor-mance Test Codes Supervisory
41、 Committee on April 1, 1980. It was further approved as an Amer-ican National Standard by the ANSI Board of Standard Review on July 3, 1980.This committee has been operating as PTC 39 Steam Traps.The original document was a compromise which had three sets of existing test equipment tobe utilized. We
42、 therefore satisfied the consensus standard.The current document is generic and can fit other test platforms too.The original publication was submitted without an uncertainty analysis. Mr. David Fisher ofArmstrong Machine Works offered a magnificent theoretical treatise which is in our Appendix I.It

Thieme, Watson McDaniel Co.We are aware that the preferred SI unit for time is seconds. However, the overwhelming cus-tomary unit in our in
46、dustry is the capacity dimension of lb mass/hour. We have chosen to notinclude the rigorous usage but continue that which is common usage.ASME PTC 39-2005 was adopted by the American National Standards Institute as an Ameri-can National Standard on May 5, 2005.viPERFORMANCE TEST CODE COMMITTEE PTC 3
