ISO
3977 is an international standard
related to the design and procurement of gas turbine
system applications. ISO 3977 is based primarily on the ASME
133 series on gas turbines, as well as the API
616 and API 11PGT standards. The standard environmental design point of any gas turbine system is 15 °C, 60% relative humidity
, and sea level
elevation. The standard is divided into nine subsections and covers procurement, design requirements, installation, and reliability.
