Performance Test Codes undertakes revision in quest for consistency

ASME Performance Test Codes is forming a standards committee intended to undertake the revision of PTC 19.23-1980, Guidance Manual for Model Testing.

The current document serves as a guide for the design and application of models in extension or supplementation of prototype tests of equipment. The committee would update the text for consistency with current practice and understanding of the subject, possibly including validation or anchoring analytical/numerical models.

Volunteer candidates for membership are being sought from those with industrial, academic, consulting and government backgrounds. Members will be technically qualified individuals with the concern, willingness and financial support to participate within the charter of ASME's Performance Test Code Committee.

Candidates should have an engineering or related science degree. The committee will meet in person once or twice a year, for a full day, with most of the draft preparation being done at home or office, or by teleconference.

Those interested should contact George Osolsobe at (212) 591-8554 or by e-mail at osolsobeg@asme.org.
