Introduction & Scope The Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) is a voluntary-membership
The scope of this Standard is to specify procedures for (a) evaluation of uncertainties in test measurements, parameters, and methods (b) propagation of those uncertainties into the uncertainty of a test result Depending on the application, uncertainty sources may be classified either...
Example problems illustrating the use of the analysis methods in BPVC Section VIII, Division 3 are provided in this publication.
This Code applies to gasifiers that convert liquid or solid feedstock into syngas by means of an oxygen- or air-blown gasification process. It can be used to measure the performance of a gasifier in its normal operating condition, with all equipment in new condition. The Code addresses the...
The methods given herein include direct and indirect determinations of active power (watts), reactive power (vars), and power factor produced or consumed in alternating-current single-phase and polyphase electrical circuits, electrical generators, power transformers, and motors. This Supplement...
This Code provides guidelines for the following two methods of measuring near- and far-field sound levels: (a) Survey Method (Survey Grade). This method is used to expeditiously perform cursory measurements to assess acoustical performance of systems and equipment. This may consist of preliminary...
INTRODUCTION When the EC Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/CE was adopted in May 1997, it became clear that pressure equipment designed and built to standards other than European standards could carry the compliance (CE) marking. This was made possible by the European Union (EU) approach, in...
Types of Systems to Which This Code May Apply This Code applies to mechanical or thermal ESS including, but not limited to, compressed air, flywheel, molten salt, and pumped hydromechanical ESS and sensible, latent, cryogenic, thermochemical, ice-based, or phase-change-materia
The scope of this Code is limited to wire-to-air performance testing of blowers in a controlled environment and does not include field testing. The term "blower" implies that the machine is used primarily for delivery of air at pressure ratios equal to or less than 3.0. This Code does...
(a) This Code provides instructions in Part II for flow capacity testing and in Part III for in-service and bench testing. Testing of reclosing and nonreclosing pressure relief devices is conducted under various inlet and outlet conditions using steam, gases, and liquids for...
PURPOSE AND USE This guideline provides a recommendation and potential guidance to address observed gaps in data and recordkeeping practices that are currently prescribed in the ASME pipeline standards B31.8, B31.8S, and B31.4. The authors reviewed pipeline industry standards and standards from...
This Code applies to all air heaters used in industrial application, e.g., air heaters servicing steam generators and industrial furnaces. This specifically includes (a) combustion gas-to-air heat exchanger including air heaters with multisection air streams (b) air preheater coils utilizing...
The rules and instructions given in this Code apply to all waste combustor systems with energy recovery, but the Code cannot detail a test applicable to every variation in the design of waste combustor systems. In every case, a qualified engineer must study the particular facility and...
This Code applies to ASUs of any size, in either a single-train or multitrain configuration. It can be used to measure the performance of an ASU in its normal operating condition, with all equipment in a new, clean, and fully functional condition. This Code provides methods and procedures...
The application of this Code is limited to the process and equipment employed to remove sulfur dioxides from flue gas or other sulfur-dioxide-laden
This Standard applies to thermowells machined from bar stock and includes those welded to or threaded into a flange as well as those welded into a process vessel or pipe with or without a weld adaptor. Thermowells manufactured from pipe are outside the scope of this Standard. Thermowells with...
This Code applies to combined cycle power plants (power blocks) that operate in conjunction with a gasification plant, an IGCC power plant, or an IGCC cogeneration plant. This Code does not apply to power blocks other than those associated with IGCC plants. This Code is applicable to the combined...
SCOPE AND ORGANIZATION OF PTCs Most ASME PTCs are applicable to a specified type of equipment defined by the Code. There may be several subcategories of equipment covered by a single code. Types of equipment to which PTCs apply can be classified into five broad categories. (a) power production (b)...
INTRODUCTION When the EC Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/CE was adopted in May 1997, it became clear that pressure equipment designed and built to standards other than European standards could carry the CE mark. This was made possible by the European New Approach, in which Essential Safety...
This Code applies to all horizontal and vertical heaters except those with partial pass full-length drain cooling zones. The heater design is based on a specific operating condition that includes flow, temperature, and pressure. This specific condition constitutes the design point that is found on...
