GB/T 40816.2-2024 in English

The Standard GB/T 40816.2-2024, published by the National Standardization Administration Committee on October 26, 2024 and set to be implemented from May 1, 2025, establishes a comprehensive methodology for testing energy balance and calculating efficiency in industrial furnaces specifically designed for heating steel. This standard is part of a series aimed at optimizing the performance and reducing environmental impact of industrial equipment.

The scope of GB/T 40816.2-2024 includes detailed procedures for assessing energy consumption, identifying inefficiencies, and implementing strategies to enhance energy efficiency in steel heating furnaces. It aims to provide a standardized approach that can be universally applied across the industry to ensure uniformity and comparability in testing and evaluation methods.

This standard focuses on methodologies for measuring input and output energies, calculating thermal efficiency, and evaluating the overall performance of steel heating furnaces. It also covers guidelines for data recording, analysis, and reporting, as well as recommendations for continuous improvement based on test results.
