ASME N510

Abstract

This Standard covers in-service testing of ASME N509 high-efficiency air treatment systems for nuclear power plants. <br><strong>Use of This Standard</strong> <br>This Standard provides a basis for the development of test programs and does not include acceptance criteria except where the results of one test influence the performance of other tests. Acceptance criteria shall be developed based on the design/function in accordance with ASME N509. <br>This Standard is arranged so that the user may select those portions (tests) that are relevant to their application. Tests should be performed in the sequence listed in Table 1. Table 1 also lists the recommended minimum frequency for performing these tests. The user must specify which tests shall be performed, and the acceptance criteria for those tests, in the test program. <br><strong>Limitations of This Standard</strong> <br>This Standard covers the in-service (operational) testing of installed air treatment systems. This Standard shall be applied in its entirety to systems designed and built to ASME N509 specifications. Sections of this Standard may be used for technical guidance for testing air treatment systems designed to other criteria. ASME AG-1, Section TA covers the acceptance-testing program.
