ASME PTC 10, 2022 Edition, 2023 – Performance Test Code on Axial and Centrifugal Compressors
The scope of ASME PTC 10 includes instructions on test arrangement and instrumentation,test procedure, and methods for
evaluation and reporting of final results.
This Code provides rules for establishing the following quantities, corrected as necessary to represent expected perfor
mance under specified operating conditions with the specified gas:
(a) quantity of gas delivered
(b) pressure rise produced
(c) volume reduction ratio
(d) polytropic work
(e) shaft power required
(f) polytropic efficiency
(g) surge point
(h) choke point
Other than providing methods for calculating mechanical power losses, this Code does not cover rotor dynamics or
other mechanical performance parameters.
1-2.2 Compressor Arrangements
This Code is designed to allowthe testing of single- or multiple-casing axial or centrifugal compressors or combinations
thereof, with one or more sections per casing and with sidestreams.
