Gives rules that apply primarily to thermal acceptance tests with high accuracy for condensing steam turbines driving generators for electric power services. Describes thermal acceptance tests that will verify any guarantees given by the manufacturer of the plant concerning: turbine thermodynamic efficiency or steam rate or power output at specified steam flow conditions; turbine plant thermal efficiency or heat rate; main steam flow capacity and/or maximum power output.
