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:
“Today so much rebellion is aimless and demoralizing precisely because children have no values to challenge. Teenage rebellion is a testing process in which young people try out various values in order to make them their own. But during those years of trial, error, embarrassment, a child needs family standards to fall back on, reliable habits of thought and feeling that provide security and protection.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“Wisely watch for the sight
Of the supernova burgeoning over the barn,
Lampshine blurred in the steam of beasts, the spirit’s right
Oasis, light incarnate.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
