The ASME Performance Test Codes (PTC) were originally known as Power Test Codes. These codes provide standard directions and rules for conducting and re- porting tests of specific materials such as fuels, equipment, and processes or functions related to power plants. Listed here are some Performance Test Codes which may be of interest in regard to piping:
PTC 1-91 --> General Instructions
PTC 2-80 --> Definitions and Values (R 1985)
PTC 4.1-64 --> Steam Generating Units (R 1991)
PTC 4.3-68 --> Air Heaters (R 1991)
PTC 4.4-81 --> Gas Turbine Heat Recovery Steam Gen- erators (R 1992)
PTC 6A-82 --> Appendix A to Test Code for Steam Turbine (R 1995)
PTC 7-49 --> Reciprocating Steam-Driven Displace- ment Pumps (R 1969)
