(This Foreword is not part of ASME/ANSI PTC 8.2-1900,) In 1952, the Power Test Code Committee organized a subcommittee under PTC ‘Committee No. 8 on Centrifugal Pumps with instructions to prepare a test code applicable to a broad range of centrifugal pumps. Superseding PTC 8,1-1954, the new Code, PTC 8.2, was approved and adopted by the Society in August 1965. It was revised by addendum in 1973. In1974, the revised Code was submitted to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for’ acceptance as an ANSI Standard. By spring of 1977, concensus had not been achieved. While this did not invalidate existing PTC 8.2, ASME concluded that PTC 8.2 might better satisfy current industry needs and achieve broader acceptance through review and update. Through 1977 a committee was formed with select membership from a broad spectrum of the pump industry. Initial work on the new code began in December of 1977. This Code achieved preliminary acceptance by the ASME Board on Performance Test Codes in July 1987. Final detail issues were resolved and the Code approved for publication on March 21, 1990, 7 This Code supersedes ASME Performance Test Code 8.2-1965 along with its 1973, Addendum.ASME PTC*S.2 40 WH 0759670 0081933 ) mm AILASME codes are copyrighted, with all rights reserved to the Society. Reproduction of this or any other ASME code is a violation of Federal Law. Legalities aside, the user should appreciate that the publishing of the high quality codes that have typified ASME documents requires a substantial commitment by the Society. Thousands of volunteers work diligently to ‘develop these codes. They participate on their own or with a sponsor's assistance and produce documents that meet the requirements of an ASME consensus standard, The codes are very valuable pleces of literature to industry and commerce, and the effort to improve these “living docuntents’” and develop additional needed codes must be continued. The monies spent for research and further code development, administrative staff support and publication are essential and constitute a substantial drain on ASME. The purchase price of these documents helps offset these costs. User reproduction undermines this system and represents an added financial drain on ASME.
