ASME PTC 55-2013 (R2024)

This Code is only applicable to measuring performance when the engine is installed in a test facility. This Code is not applicable to measuring performance when the engine is installed in an aircraft, and it does not address engine-specific limits and margins. The Code does not cover ground-based mechanical or electrical power-generating gas turbines, which is the subject of PTC 22. This Code is not sufficient for certification or qualification of engines under development, nor is it intended for determination of research data. While this code does not cover the requirements for transient testing, it is recognized that transient testing may be required to meet some limited contractual requirements. Information on transient testing is provided herein to support a comprehensive test program.
