本规范涵盖了一系列主要燃料特性，但仅限于使用燃气轮机和蒸汽轮机的联合循环发电系统。本规范定义了整个IGCC发电厂的边界，包括三个主要的发电厂部分——空气分离装置（ASU，用于吹氧气化炉或使用氮气的发电厂）、气化过程（包括气体净化）和发电机组。根据本规范进行的试验通过燃料气的流量、温度、压力、成分、热值及其污染物含量来确定燃料气的数量和质量。污染物是可能对燃气轮机和动力块有害的化合物，或者是烟囱排放物的前体。要测量的污染物包括钠（Na）、钾（K）、钒（V）、铅（Pb）、钙（Ca）、钡（Ba）、锰（Mn）、磷（P）、硫化物（H2S和COS）、氮化合物（HCN和NH3）、氯化物（HCl）和颗粒物。 预测试协议中包括以下建议:测试程序、仪器类型、测量方法、计算方法和测试报告内容。本规范不包括IGCC发电厂的法规遵从性测试。

This Code covers a defined range of primary fuel characteristics, but is limited to combined-cycle, power generation systems using gas and steam turbines. This Code defines the boundaries of the overall IGCC power plant to encompass three major plant sections - the air separation unit (ASU, for oxygen-blown gasifiers or plants that use nitrogen), the gasification process (including gas cleanup), and the power block. Tests conducted by this Code determine the quantity and quality of fuel gas by its flow, temperature, pressure, composition, heating value, and its content of contaminants. Contaminants are compounds that are potentially deleterious to the gas turbine and power block in general, or are precursors to stack emissions. Contaminants to be measured are sodium (Na), potassium (K), vanadium (V), lead (Pb), calcium (Ca), barium (Ba), manganese (Mn), phosphorus (P), sulfur compounds (H2S and COS), nitrogen compounds (HCN and NH3), chlorine compounds (HCl), and particulate matter.Recommendations are included for the following in pretest agreements: testing procedures, types of instruments, methods of measurement, methods of calculation, and contents of test reports.Regulatory compliance testing of IGCC power plants is not covered by this Code.
