Type 1 Versus Type 2

A Type 1 test must be conducted on a gas similar to the specified gas with limited deviations between
test and specified operating conditions as defined in Table 3-2.1-1 and Table 3-2.1-2.

• A Type 1 test shall be required for specified Machine Reynolds number below 90,000.
• No Machine Reynolds number correction is applicable for Type 1 tests.

A Type 2 test permits the use of a substitute test gas and extends the permissible deviations between
test and specified operating conditions as defined in Table 3-2.1-2.

The emphasis in conducting either a Type 1 or Type 2 test should be toward minimizing these deviations.

TOTAL PRESSURE AND TOTAL TEMPERATURE

ASME PTC 10-2022 provides two methods to determine the total pressure and total temperature:

1. Rigorous Method (para. 5-4.4.1)

based on the use of an equation of state to determine fluid properties


and calculate pressures and temperatures for known state conditions
based on using enthalpy and entropy.

2. Alternate Mach Number Method (para. 5-4.4.2b)
