ASME PTC 46-1996 Performance Test Code on Overall Plant Performance

An American National Standard. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Date of Issuance: October 15,1997. 192p. The objective of this Code is to provide uniform test methods and procedures for the determination of the thermal performance and electrical output of heat-cycle electric power plants and cogeneration facilities.
This Code provides explicit procedures for the determination of the following performance results:
- corrected net power
- corrected heat rate
- corrected heat input.
Tests may be designed to satisfy different goals, including:
- specified disposition
-specified net corrected power
- specified net power
