Testing Steam Generators
The preeminent code for testing fired steam generators is the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) performance test code, PTC 4. A related component is the regenerative air heater. A major revison to the performance test code for air heaters will be published in 2103. Copies of the draft are avaialble for review. The European standards for acceptance test of steam boilers are EN 12952-15 and EN 12953-11. The British standards BS 845-1 and BS 845-2 remain also in use in the UK.

Famous quotes containing the words testing and/or steam:
“Bourbon’s the only drink. You can take all that champagne stuff and pour it down the English Channel. Well, why wait 80 years before you can drink the stuff? Great vineyards, huge barrels aging forever, poor little old monks running around testing it, just so some woman in Tulsa, Oklahoma can say it tickles her nose.”
—John Michael Hayes (b.1919)
“Now that the steam engine rules the world, a title is an absurdity, still I am all dressed up in this title. It will crush me if I do not support it. The title attracts attention to myself.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
