1. GENERAL
1.1 Scope
This General Specification defines requirements and gives recommendations for steam
turbines (condensing and backpressure types), based on “Petroleum, Petrochemical and
Natural Gas Industries - Steam Turbines - Special-purpose Applications” API Standard 612,
6th edition.
Scope of this Specification are the steam turbines for special-purpose applications, namely
horizontal turbines used to drive equipment that are usually not spared and are used in
uninterrupted continuous operation in critical service, like power generation and mechanical
drive of compressors or pumps.
This Specification amends and supplements various clauses of API 612. Furthermore, it
summarizes (highlights) some important clauses of API 612.
With respect to API 612, paragraphs are marked as follows:
clause added to API 612
clause that modifies API 612
y clause that makes a decision, as required by API 612
9 clause that summarizes the corresponding API 612 clause
When input by Company is required for the specific Project, it is marked as follows: (Í).
1.2 Terms and Definitions

The “Company” is the party that initiates the project and ultimately pays for its design
and construction. The Company will generally specify the technical requirements.
The “Contractor” is the party that carries out all or part of the design, engineering,
procurement, installation, and commissioning or management of a project or operation
of a facility. The Company may sometimes undertake all or part of the duties of the
Contractor, e.g. when the Company awards the Contract directly to the Manufacturer.
The “Manufacturer” is the party that manufactures the steam turbine and performs the
design, engineering, procurement, installation, commissioning and management of the
steam turbine package, procuring other components from Sub-suppliers.
The “Sub-supplier” is the party that manufactures or supplies equipment and services to
perform the duties specified by the Manufacturer, typically sub-systems and
components of the main equipment.
The contractual structure may be one of the following:
o Company → (EPC) Contractor → Manufacturer → Sub-suppliers, or
o Company → (EPC) Contractor=Manufacturer → Sub-suppliers
The “steam turbine” comprises the main machine and its auxiliary equipment (lube,
seal, control etc.).
The “steam turbine package”, in addition to the steam turbine, comprises: the
enclosure, off-base equipment, all the valves, instrumentation and the interconnecting
piping that form a complete and self-sufficient unit that needs steam, utility fluids and
electrical power to operate.
The “Project”, as related to requirements, indicates those set by the Company in the
specific Project documentation.
The word “shall” indicates a requirement.
The word “should” indicates a recommendation.
Rev. 0 Sep-2013
Sh. 6 of 36
“Steam turbine-generator required power” is the net power output (at generator
terminals) that is required of the steam turbine-generator package in a power
generation application. This power is specified by the Company.
“Driven equipment required power” is the maximum power required by the driven
equipment (compressor or pump) in a mechanical drive application.
“Steam turbine rated power” is the shaft power developed by the steam turbine when it
is operated in a new and clean condition, at normal continuous steam conditions. The
rated power satisfies the specified margin over the steam turbine-generator required
power – in case of power generation application – or the driven equipment required
power – in case of mechanical drive. The rated power is specified by the Manufacturer.
9 “Potential maximum power” is the approximate maximum power to which the turbine
can be uprated at the specified normal speed and steam conditions when it is furnished
with suitable (that is, larger or additional) nozzles and, possibly, with a larger governor-
controlled valve(s).

actual experience.
For mechanical drive applications, the steam turbine shall be selected to have, in the
new and unfouled condition, a shaft rated power of at least 110% of the driven
equipment demand, inclusive of the load gear, if present. This power margin takes into
account the unrecoverable steam turbine losses (due to aging and fouling) and the
driven equipment power margin.
For power generation applications, the steam turbine generator package shall be
selected to have, in the new and unfouled condition, a net output (at generator
terminals) at rated power of at least 105% of the Company required power. This power

9 All other stationary blading shall be mounted in replaceable diaphragms or blade

carriers. Nozzles or blades welded to the diaphragm are preferred.
6.7 Governing Valve(s)

Multiple-governor-controlled inlet valves should be used for efficient operation at part
load, thus a single valve is acceptable only when multi-valves are not the
Manufacturer’s standard for the selected turbine model.
The Contractor shall provide references of the proposed governing valve(s) model
successfully installed under operating conditions similar to those specified by the
Company, to show that flow induced valve vibration does not occur or is limited and
does not jeopardize free valve travel.
6.8 Trip or Trip/Throttle Valve(s)

y A separate independent trip valve(s) or combined trip and throttle valve(s) shall be
provided for each steam inlet. The Manufacturer shall advise about the opportunity to
install a trip valve or a combined trip/throttle valve (providing intermediate valve
positioning for use during start-up to warm high-temperature turbine components, to

y For units including gears or generators, or for units comprising three or more coupled
machines, or if specified, the Contractor shall ensure that a torsional vibration analysis
Rev. 0 Sep-2013
Sh. 19 of 36
of the complete coupled train is performed and shall be responsible for directing any
modifications necessary to meet the requirements of 9.5.2 to 9.5.6 of API 612.
9 The torsional natural frequencies of the complete train shall be at least 10% above or

Manufacturer shall perform a transient torsional vibration analysis when synchronous
motor or generator drives are part of the train. The acceptance criteria for this analysis
shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and Manufacturer.
High-speed balancing shall not be performed, due to the fact that rotors that require
high speed balancing to achieve vibration limits during test will likely require field
balancing.
On steam turbines for power generation, the steam turbine design should ensure the
absence of turbine-generator torsional modes of vibration close to 60Hz and 120Hz, or
50Hz and 100Hz, for 60Hz and 50Hz transmission systems respectively, to avoid
torsional interaction with the electrical transmission system due to network switching
and other events (e.g. faults, line switching, load rejection etc.).
On steam turbines for power generation, an analysis to identify potential torsional
subsynchronous resonance (SSR) conditions shall be undertaken by the Contractor
when the power plant is connected to a series capacitor-compensated transmission
system. Due to physical and economical limitations, components exposed to these
conditions cannot be manufactured to withstand such torsional stress at resonance
conditions. Protective and/or preventive measures must therefore be employed to limit
the SSR effects. Protective measures, like protection relays, and preventive measures
like static filter, active filter or excitation system damper shall be agreed between the
Company and the Contractor.
On steam turbines for power generation, an analysis to identify potential device
dependent subsynchronous oscillations (DDSO) shall be undertaken by the Contractor
when fast acting control loops are present on large power electronic devices such as
high-voltage dc (HVDC) converter stations or on STG’s themselves. This phenomenon
is due to control interactions and is not a resonance phenomenon. Thus the solution is
in proper tuning of the controls and or introduction of filtering and supplemental
damping controls.
