responseto,gas turbine procurement specifications.They are generally applicable to gas turbines forelectrical power generation and industrial generator and mechanical drive service.Commencing in 1977.the B133 Standards Committee of ASME produced a set of gasturbine procurement specifications,covering all aspects of the process from specificationpreparation to maintenance and safety.In 1988 the International Standards Organization(ISO)established Technical Committee TC 192.Gas Turbines,which proceeded to developa set of procurement specifications documented as ISO 3977.In view of the interationalnature of the gas turbine marketplace.the B133 Committee elected to support the ISOeffort,and a Technical Advisory Group(TAG)under B133 was formed to coordinate thissupport.Through the participation of the US TAG in the preparation of the ISO 3977 documents,the intent is to adopt the various parts of ISO 3977 as ASME standards.The purpose of this Standard,Part I:General Introduction and Definitions.is to providea comprehensive,alphabetical list of technical terms pertinent to the ASME 3977 series ofgas turbine standards.ASME 3977-1-2000 is an identical national adoption of ISO 3977-1:1997 and wasapproved as an American National Standard on June 7,2000.STD.ASME3977-1-ENGL200007596700619389727ASME B133 COMMITTEEGas Turbine Procurement(The following is the roster of the
