Gas and steam turbines perfomance testing

Gas and steam turbines perfomance testing

With more than 200 units tested worldwide, SINT Technology is a reliable supplier of field performance testing on steam and gas turbines according to the major international codes, such as ASME PTC 22, ASME PTC 6 and DIN 1943 codes.

The expertise of our engineers combines a rigorous and accurate approach to field measurements with a deep knowledge of thermodynamics and machines operation.

The main reasons to conduct a turbine performance test are:

measure the actual performance of the unit and correct it to the contractual conditions.
verify if a new unit meets the specifications of the applicable purchase contract, therefore if liquidated damages or “make good” actions are required.
Assess the prior/after performance improvement due to a major maintenance outage.

SINT Technology is certified by the Italian accreditation body ACCREDIA for the execution of ASME PTC 22 and ASME PTC 6 performance tests.
