A valid ASME PTC 4.1 performance test requires rigorous instrumentation. Asme Ptc 4.1.pdf

| Parameter | Required Accuracy | Instrument | |-----------|------------------|------------| | Fuel flow | ±1% | Belt scale, Coriolis, orifice | | Steam flow | ±0.5% | ASME nozzle, Venturi | | Feedwater temp | ±0.5°F | RTD | | Flue gas O₂ | ±0.2% | Zirconia or paramagnetic | | Flue gas CO | ±5 ppm | NDIR | | Flue gas temp | ±2°F | Type K thermocouple (traverse) | | Ambient dry/wet bulb | ±0.5°F | Psychrometer | Open your to Appendix A (Sample Calculations)

Formally titled "Steam Generating Units," ASME PTC 4.1 is a Code established by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Performance Test Codes (PTC) committee. Originally published in 1946 and revised most notably in 1964 (with reaffirmations thereafter), the 4.1 version specifically addresses the and Indirect Method (Heat Loss) for determining boiler efficiency. Originally published in 1946 and revised most notably
