Description / Abstract:
This Standard covers in-service testing of ASME N509
high-efficiency air treatment systems for nuclear power plants.
Use of This Standard
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.
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.
Limitations of This Standard
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.
