IEEE/AIEE 600-1949

These specifications are limited in their scope to the following types of steam turbines, rated 500 kw and larger, and intended to drive electric generators at constant speed: (a) Straight condensing, straight non-condensing and non-automatic extraction turbines without initial and/or exhaust steam pressure control. (b) Straight condensing, straight non-condensing and non-automatic extraction turbines with initial and/or exhaust steam pressure control. ( c ) Automatic extraction and mixed-pressure turbines

The purpose of these specifications is to recommend minimum functional and performance characteristics relating to the speed-governing of steam turbines intended to drive electric generators that may, if desired, be included in prime-mover purchase specifications.
