Content DescriptionThis 2011 Revision of the ASME Performance Test Code 18 on Hydraulic Turbines and Pump-Turbines modernizes several of the measuring techniques and improves the clarity and user-friendliness of the entire document. PTC 18-2011 applies to all sizes and types of hydraulic turbines or pump-turbines. It defines methods for ascertaining performance by measuring flow rate (discharge, head, and power, from which efficiency may be determined. Requirements are included for pretest arrangements, types of instrumentation, methods of measurement, testing procedures, methods of calculation, and contents of test reports. This new Standard—addressing this significant form of renewable energy—contains updated, accurate and reliable test techniques for continuous performance improvement in response to concerns over cost, delivery and impact on global climate of traditional energy sources. The test methods contained in this Standard were selected according to their applicability to contemporary test requirements and frequency of use. They are presented with increased emphasis on electronic data acquisition and, in case of the Ultrasonic Method, increasing flow-measurement accuracy with additional paths. This Standard also has been updated with revised illustrations and new Tables. Test methods of declining applicability, such as the volumetric and pressure-time Gibson flow-measurement method, have been deleted. Intended for hydro power-plant personnel involved with all aspects of power production, with special emphasis on testing the turbines to determine performance characteristics, namely head, power, flow rate and efficiency.Subscription InformationMADCAD.com ASME Standards subscriptions are annual and access is single concurrency based (number of people that can access the subscription at any given time) from single office location.

About ASMEASME is a not-for-profit membership organization that enables collaboration, knowledge sharing, career enrichment, and skills development across all engineering disciplines, toward a goal of helping the global engineering community develop solutions to benefit lives and livelihoods. Founded in 1880 by a small group of leading industrialists, ASME has grown through the decades to include more than 130,000 members in 158 countries. Thirty-thousand of these members are students. From college students and early-career engineers to project managers, corporate executives, researchers and academic leaders, ASME's members are as diverse as the engineering community itself. ASME serves this wide-ranging technical community through quality programs in continuing education, training and professional development, codes and standards, research, conferences and publications, government relations and other forms of outreach. |
