ASME PTC 4.1 provides uniform test procedures for determining the thermal efficiency of a steam generator. It covers units firing solid, liquid, or gaseous fuels, and includes heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) under specific conditions.

Perform a surface radiation measurement per ASME PTC 12.1 – but PTC 4.1 explicitly forbids replacing Fig. 7 with physical measurements unless repeating the entire test. ASME PTC 4

This is the preferred method for large industrial and utility boilers. Instead of measuring input/output directly, it calculates efficiency by accounting for all heat losses. By subtracting the percentage of heat lost from 100%, the efficiency is derived. 7 with physical measurements unless repeating the entire

Understanding the differences between the legacy standard, PTC 4.1, and its successor, PTC 4, is crucial for modern engineers. The newer code was intended to correct many of the older code's deficiencies. A comparison of their key features is summarized in the table below.
