Description / Abstract:
This Code may be used for testing of steam turbines operating
either with a significant amount of superheat in the initial steam
(typically fossil-fueled units) or predominantly within the
moisture region (typically nuclear-fueled units).
This Code contains rules and procedures for the conduct and
reporting of steam turbine testing, including mandatory
requirements for pretest arrangements, instruments to be employed,
their application and methods of measurement, testing techniques,
and methods of calculation of test results. The performance
parameters which may be determined from a Code test include:
(a) heat rate
(b) generator output
(c) steam flow
(d) steam rate
(e) feedwater flow
It also contains procedures and techniques required to determine
enthalpy values within the moisture region and modifications
necessary to permit testing within the restrictions of radiological
safety requirements in nuclear plants.
