ULTRASONICS – MEASUREMENTS OF ELECTROACOUSTICAL
PARAMETERS AND ACOUSTIC OUTPUT POWER OF SPHERICALLY
CURVED TRANSDUCERS USING THE SELF-RECIPROCITY METHOD

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In
exceptional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical
specification when
• the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an International Standard,
despite repeated efforts, or
• the subject is still under technical development or where, for any other reason, there is the
future but no immediate possibility of an agreement on an International Standard.
Technical specifications are subject to review within three years of publication to decide
whether they can be transformed into International Standards.
IEC TS 62903, which is a Technical Specification, has been prepared by IEC technical
committee 87: Ultrasonics.

INTRODUCTION
An ultrasonic transducer is an important acoustic device that can act as a transmitter or a
receiver in the applications of medical ultrasound, non-destructive testing, and ultrasonic
materials processing. The performance of a transducer is a decisive factor that governs the
device's range of applicability, efficiency and quality control in the manufacturing. The
mechanisms, transmitting fields, performances, and measurement methods used for these
transducers have been studied over the past few decades. However, the electroacoustical
characterization and measurement methods applied for spherically curved transducers have
not been defined in standard documents for either terms or protocols.
This document defines the relevant electroacoustical parameters for these devices and
establishes the self-reciprocity measurement method for spherically curved concave focusing
transducers.

Part 3: Guidelines for technical specifications
for Pelton turbines
FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In
exceptional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical
report of one of the following types:
• type 1, when the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an International
Standard, despite repeated efforts;
• type 2, when the subject is still under technical development or where for any other reason
there is the future but no immediate possibility of an agreement on an International
Standard;
• type 3, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind from that which is
normally published as an International Standard, for example "state of the art".
Technical reports of types 1 and 2 are subject to review within three years of publication to
decide whether they can be transformed into International Standards. Technical reports of
type 3 do not necessarily have to be reviewed until the data they provide are considered to be
no longer valid or useful.
IEC 61366-3, which is a technical report of type 3, has been prepared by IEC technical
committee 4: Hydraulic turbines.

TENDERING DOCUMENTS –
Part 3: Guidelines for technical specifications
for Pelton turbines
0 Introduction to technical specifications
The main purpose of the technical specifications is to describe the specific technical
requirements for the hydraulic machine for which the Tendering documents (TD) are being
issued. To achieve clarity and to avoid confusion in contract administration, the Employer
should not specify anything in the technical specifications which is of importance only to the
preparation of the tender. Such information and instructions should be given only in the
Instructions to Tenderers (ITT). Accordingly, the ITT may refer to other chapters and sections
the Tendering documents but not vice versa. As a general rule the word "Tenderer" should be
confined in use only to TD chapter 1 "Tendering requirements"; elsewhere the term
"Contractor" should be used.
Special attention should be given to items of a project specific nature such as materials,
protective coating systems, mechanical piping systems, electrical systems and instrumentation.
It is common for the Employer to use technical standards for such items which would apply to
all contracts for a particular project or projects. In this event, detailed technical standards
should be specified in TD chapter 5 "General requirements".
Technical specifications for the various types of hydraulic machines included in this guide are
provided in the following parts:
– Francis turbines (Part 2);
– Pelton turbines (Part 3);
– Propeller and Kaplan turbines (Part 4);
– Tubular turbines (Part 5);
– Pump-turbines (Part 6);
– Storage pumps (Part 7).
The guidelines for preparation of Pelton turbine specifications include technical specifications
for the following:
– Design conditions: Project arrangement, hydraulic conditions, specified conditions, mode of
operation, generator characteristics, synchronous condenser characteristics, transient
behaviour data, stability of the system, noise, vibration, pressure fluctuations and safety
requirements.
– Technical performance and other guarantees:
ypower;
ydischarge (if required);
yefficiency;
ymaximum momentary pressure;
yminimum momentary pressure;
ymaximum momentary overspeed;
ymaximum steady-state runaway speed;

ycavitation pitting;
yhydraulic thrust;
ymaximum weights and dimensions for transportation, erection and maintenance.
– Mechanical design criteria: design standards, stresses and deflections and special design
considerations (earthquake acceleration, etc.).
– Design documentation: Contractor’s input needed for the Employer's design, Contractor's
drawings and data, Contractor's review of the Employer's design and technical reports by
Contractor.
– Materials and construction: material selection and standards, quality assurance procedures,
shop methods, corrosion protection and painting.
– Shop inspection and testing: general requirements and reports, material tests and
certificates, dimensional checks, shop assembly and tests.
– Fixed/embedded components: manifold for multi-jet turbines and turbine housing.
– Stationary/removable components: branch pipe for horizontal turbines, upper turbine
housing (if not embedded), turbine cover, brake jet assembly).
– Injector and deflector systems: nozzles, needles, needle servomotors, deflectors or cut-in
deflectors, deflector servomotors, links, needle-deflector combining mechanism and oil
piping.
– Rotating parts, bearings and seals: runner, main shaft, guide bearing with oil supply,
oil/water cooler, shaft seal.
– Thrust bearing (when part of the hydraulic machine supply): bearing support, thrust block,
rotating ring, thrust bearing pads and pivots, oil sump with oil supply (common with guide
bearing, if any), oil/water coolers, instrumentation.
– Miscellaneous components: walkways, lifting fixtures, special tools, standard tools, turbine
pit hoist, nameplate, runner inspection platform (if required).
– Auxiliary systems: bearing lubrication system (if required), tailwater air admission system,
turbine pit drainage (if required), turbine housing ventilation, tailwater depression (if
required).
– Instrumentation: controls, indication and protection.
– Spare parts: basic spare parts.
– Model acceptance tests: test requirements.
– Site installation and commissioning tests: Installation procedures and commissioning tests.
– Field acceptance tests: scope of field tests, reports and inspection of cavitation pitting.
An example of the proposed table of contents for Tendering documents for a Francis turbine is
given in annex A of IEC 61366-1. The example does not include technical specifications for the
control system, or high-pressure side valves which, at the Employer’s option, may be included
in the Tendering documents for the Pelton turbine or may be specified in separate Tendering
documents.
Chapter 6 (technical specifications) of the Tendering documents should be arranged as follows:
6.1 Technical requirements;
6.2 Technical specifications for fixed/embedded components;
6.3 Technical specifications for stationary/removable components;
6.4 Technical specifications for deflector/cut-in deflector regulating apparatus;
6.5 Technical specifications for rotating parts, guide bearings and seals;
6.6 Technical specifications for thrust bearing;
6.7 Technical specifications for miscellaneous components;
6.8 Technical specifications for auxiliary systems;
6.9 Technical specifications for instrumentation;
