ASME POM 101-2013 Performance-Related Outage Inspections

ASME POM 101-2013 provides guidance for performance-related inspections of power plant equipment during shutdown and outage periods. It helps plant personnel identify conditions that can reduce thermal efficiency, operational performance, and equipment reliability.

The standard covers inspection planning, safety practices, measurement methods, reporting requirements, and equipment-specific guidance. Its nonmandatory appendices address air heaters, condensers, cooling towers, electrostatic precipitators, feedwater heaters, heat recovery steam generators, boilers, and associated systems.

Application Scope: Intended for fossil-fueled power plants during shutdowns or outages; selected guidance may also apply to other power plant types.
