Asme Ptc 192 Jun 2026

A 200 MW simple-cycle peaker tracked its corrected heat rate using PTC 192. Over 500 operating hours, the heat rate increased by 2.5%. The standard’s degradation separation logic attributed 2.0% to compressor fouling and 0.5% to instrument drift. The plant performed an online water wash, recovering 1.8% of the heat rate—a savings of $45,000 in fuel over the next month.

The standard would categorize and provide guidance on the selection and use of various pressure-sensing devices. Common types include: asme ptc 192
