ASME PTC 19.1 Test Uncertainty Code

The document discusses two ASME test codes: 1. PTC 19.1, which specifies procedures for evaluating uncertainties in individual test measurements and propagating those uncertainties to the overall test results. It aims to provide estimates of systematic, random, and total uncertainties with an approximate confidence level. 2. PTC 22, which details tests to determine the power output and thermal efficiency of gas turbines under test and standard operating conditions. It defines procedures for conducting tests, calculating results, and making corrections. Tests of gas turbines with emissions controls or power augmentation are also included. Meetings should be held prior to any test to discuss the test process, and an uncertainty analysis performed to establish measurement limits and calculate overall uncertainty according

ASME, Performance Test Code on Test Uncertainty:


Instruments and Apparatus PTC 19.1 1988
This test code specifies procedures for evaluation of
uncertainties in individual test measurements, arising from both
random errors and systematic errors, and for the propagation of
random and systematic uncertainties into the uncertainty of a test
results. The various statistical terms involved are defined. The end
result of a measurement uncertainty analysis is to provide numerical
estimates of systematic uncertainties, random uncertain-ties, and
the combination of these into a total uncertainty with an
approximate confidence level. This is especially very important
when computing guarantees in plant output and plant efficiency.

ASME, Performance Test Code on Gas Turbines, ASME PTC 22


1997

The object of the code is to detail the test to determine the


power output and thermal efficiency of the gas turbine when
operating at the test conditions, and correcting these test results to
standard or specified operating and control conditions. Procedures
for conducting the test, calculating the results, and making the
corrections are defined. The code provides for the testing of gas
turbines supplied with gaseous or liquid fuels (or solid fuels
converted to liquid or gas prior to entrance to the gas turbine). Test
of gas turbines with water or steam injection for emission control
and/or power augmentation are included. The tests can be applied
to gas turbines in combined-cycle power plants or with other heat
recovery systems.
Meetings should be held with all parties concerned as to how the
test will be conducted and an uncertainty analysis should be
performed prior to the test. The overall test uncertainty will vary
because of the differences in the scope of supply, fuel(s) used, and
driven equipment characteristics. The code establishes a limit for
the uncertainty of each measurement required; the overall
uncertainty is then calculated in accordance with the procedures
defined in the code and by ASME PTC 19.1.

Mechanical Parameters

Some of the best standards from a mechanical point of view have


been written by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers, as part of their
mechanical equipment standards. The ASME and the API mechanical
equipment standards are an aid in specifying and selecting
equipment for general petrochemical use. The intent of these
specifications is to facilitate the development of high-quality
equipment with a high degree of safety and standardization. The
