STORAGE PUMPS AND PUMP-TURBINES
SECTION ONE – GENERAL RULES
Scope and object
1 Scope
1.1 This International Standard covers the arrangements for tests at the site to determine the extent to which
the main contract guarantees (see 3.2) have been satisfied. It contains the rules governing their conduct and
ase of the tests is disputed. It deals with methods of computation

of the results as as
1.2 Model tests, when used for acceptance purposes, are dealt with in IEC 193 with Amendment No. 1, first
supplement 193 A, and in IEC 497.
1.3 Tests of speed governing systems are dealt with in IEC 308.

Object
The purpose of this standard for field acceptance tests of hydraulic turbines, storage pumps or pump-
turbines, also called the machine, is:
– to define the terms and quantities which are used;
to specify methods of testing and ways of measuring the quantities involved in order to ascertain the
–
hydraulic performance of the machine;
to determine if the contract guarantees which fall within the scope of this standard have been fulfilled.
–
The decision to perform field acceptance tests including the definition of their scope is the subject of an
lier of the machine. For this, it has to be examined in each
agreement between the purchaser and the supp
case, whether the measuring conditions recommended in this standard can be realized. The influence on
the measuring uncertainties, due to hydraulic and civil conditions has to be taken into account.
If the actual conditions for field acceptance tests do not allow compliance with the guarantees to be
proved, it is recommended that acceptance tests be performed on models (see 1.1.2).
Types of machines
3
In general, this standard applies to any size and type of impulse or reaction turbine, storage pump
or pump-turbine. In particular, it applies to machines coupled to electric generators, motors or motor-
generators.
a turbine and the
as
For the purpose of this standard the term turbine includes a pump-turbine functioning
term pump includes a pump-turbine functioning as a pump. The term generator includes a motor-generator
functioning as a generator and the term motor includes a motor-generator functioning as a motor.

1.4 Reference to IEC and ISO Standards
IEC and ISO Standards referred to in this standard are listed in the preface. If a contradiction is found
between this standard and another IEC or ISO standard, this standard shall prevail.
1.5 Excluded topics
1.5.1 This standard excludes all matters of a purely commercial interest except those inextricably bound up with
the conduct of the tests.
1.5.2 This standard is concerned neither with the structural details of the machines nor with the mechanical
properties of their components.
2. Terms, definitions, symbols and units
2.1 General
The common terms, definitions, symbols and units used throughout the standard arc listed in this clause.
Specialised terms arc explained where they appear.
The following terms arc given in 5.1.2 and Figure 11:
comprises the readings and/or recordings sufficient to calculate the performance of the machine
1) A run
at one operating condition.
is established by one or more consecutive runs at the same operating conditions and unchanged
2) A point
settings.
A test comprises a collection of data and results adequate to establish the performance of the machine
3)
over the specified range of operating conditions.
The clarification of any contested term, definition or unit of measure shall be agreed to in writing by the
contracting parties, in advance of the test.
2.2 Units
The International System of Units (SI) has been used throughout this standard*.
2). The basic
All terms are given in SI base units or derived coherent units (e.g. N instead of kg  m  s-
equations arc valid using these units. This has to be taken into account, if other than coherent SI Units are
5 Pa)
for certain data (e.g. kilowatt or megawatt instead of watt for power, kilopascal or bar (= 10
used.
instead of s- 1 for rotational speed, etc.). Temperatures may be given
instead of pascal for pressure, min -1
in degrees Celsius because thermodynamic (absolute) temperatures (in kelvins) are rarely required.
Any other system of units may be used but only if agreed to in writing by the contracting parties.
2.3 List of terms, definitions, symbols and units
2.3.1 Subscripts and symbols
The terms high pressure and low pressure define the two sides of the machine irrespective of the flow
direction and therefore are independent of the mode of operation of the machine.
* See ISO 31-3.

2.3.6 Specific energy terms
In the International System of Units the mass (kg) is one of the base quantities. The energy per unit
mass, known as specific energy, is used in this standard as a primary term instead of the energy per local
unit weight which is called head and was exclusively used in the former IEC 41 and 198.
The latter term (head) has the disadvantage that the weight depends on the acceleration due to gravity
which changes mainly with latitude but also with altitude. Nevertheless, the term head will still remain
g,
in use because it is very common. Therefore both related energy terms are listed, the specific energy terms
g,
in this sub-clause and the head terms in 2.3.7. They differ only by the factor which is the local value of
acceleration due to gravity.
The symbol for specific energy at any section of flow is the small letter e; the symbol for the difference
h and
of specific energies between any two sections is the capital letter E. The same applies to H.

Figures 5a, 5b (reaction machines) and 5c (impulse turbines) illustrate some common cases of application of the basic formula for
the specific hydraulic energy. The applicable simplified formula is given under each figure. Measurement methods for the evaluation
of the specific hydraulic energy of the machine arc described in detail in Clause 11.
