RULES FOR STEAM TURBINE THERMAL ACCEPTANCE TESTS
Part 1: Method A — High accuracy for large condensing steam turbines
INTRODUCTION
The rapid development of measuring techniques, the increasing capacity of steam turbines and
the introduction of nuclear power plants necessitated a revision of IEC Publication 46 (1962)
regarding acceptance tests.
Since all the needs of the power industry in the different parts of the world could not be satisfied
by one single publication, the complete standard is divided into two parts, describing two different
approaches for conducting and evaluating thermal acceptance tests of steam turbines and which
can be used separately:
a)
Method A, which is Part 1 of the standard (IEC 953-1), deals with thermal acceptance tests with
high accuracy for large condensing steam turbines.
b) Method B, which is Part 2 of the standard (IEC 953-2), deals with thermal acceptance tests with a
wide range of accuracy for various types and sizes of steam turbines.
1) Basic philosophy and figures on uncertainty
Pa
rt 1 provides for very accurate testing of steam turbines to obtain the level of performance with
minimum measuring uncertainty. The operating conditions during the test are stringent and
compulsory.
Method A is based on the exclusive use of the most accurate calibrated instrumentation and the
best measuring procedures currently available. The uncertainty of the test result is always suf-
ficiently small that it normally need not be taken into acount in the comparison between test result
and guarantee value. This uncertainty will not be larger than about 0.3% for a fossil fired unit and
0.4% for a nuclear unit.
The cost for instrumentation and the efforts for preparing and conducting the tests will generally
be justified economically for large and/or prototype units.
Method B provides for acceptance tests of steam turbines of various types and capacities with
appropriate measuring uncertainty. Instrumentation and measuring procedures have to be chosen
accordingly from a scope specified in the standard which is centred mainly on standardized
instrumentation and procedures, but may extend eventually up to very high accuracy provisions
requiring calibration. The resulting measuring uncertainty of the test result is then determined by
calculating methods presented in the standard and normally, if not stated otherwise in the contract,
taken into account in the comparison between test result and guarantee value. The total cost of an
acceptance test can therefore be maintained in relationship with the economic value of the
guarantee values to be ascertained.
The specifications of the operating conditions during the test are somewhat more flexible in this
method; furthermore, procedures are recommended for treating cases where these specifications
cannot be met.

SIST EN 60953-1:2000
IEC
953-1 © — 13 —
When good-standardized instrumentation and procedures are applied in a test, the measuring
uncertainty of the result will usually amount to 0.9% to 1.2% for a large fossil fuel fired condensing
unit, to 1.1 % to 1.4% for a nuclear unit and to 1.5% to 2.5 % for back pressure, extraction and small
condensing turbines. It is possible to reduce these values by additional improvement in instrumen-
tation, primarily by additional measurements of primary mass flows and/or calibration of
ow.
measuring devices for primary mass fl
2) B
Main difference between Methods A and
In Method A, much more detailed information concerning the preparation and conduct of the
tests and the measuring techniques are contained for guidance of the parties to the test than in
Method B. In Method B, the detailed treatment of these objectives is left somewhat more to the
discretion and decisions of the participants and necessitates sufficient experience and expertise on
their part.
3) Guiding principles
The requirements concerning the preparation and conditions of the test and especially such
conditions of the test as duration, deviations and constancy of test conditions and acceptable
differences between double measurements are more stringent in Method A.
The test should be conducted preferably within eight weeks after the beginning of the operation.
It is the intent during this period to minimize performance deterioration and risk of damage to the
turbine.
Preliminary tests including enthalpy drop tests should be made during this period to monitor HP
and IP turbine section performance. However, these tests do not provide LP section performance
and for this reason it is imperative to conduct the acceptance tests as soon as practicable.
Whatever the case, when using Method A, if an enthalpy drop test indicates a possible
deterioration of the HP or IP section, or if the plant conditions require that the tests be postponed
more than four months after the initial start, then the acceptance tests should be delayed.
An adjustment of the heat rate test results to start-up enthalpy drop efficiencies or for the effects
of aging is not permitted when using Method A.
If the test has to be postponed, Method A proposes that the test be carried out after the first major
internal inspection; several methods are proposed for establishing the approximate condition of the
turbine prior to the tests.
4) Instruments and methods of measurement
Measurement of electrical power
a)
In addition to the conditions required for the measurement of electric power, which are similar
in both methods, Method A requires a check of the instruments by a comparison measurement
after each test run; the permissible difference between double measurements is limited to 0.15%.
b) Flow measurement
For the measurement of main flows the use of calibrated pressure difference devices is required
in Method A. The application of a device not covered by international standardization, the
throat-tap nozzle, is recommended therein and details of design and application are given.
The calibration of these devices shall be conducted with the upstream and downstream piping
and flow-straightener. Methods for the necessary extrapolation of the discharge coefficient from
the calibration values are given.
flow
In Method B standardized pressure-difference devices are normally applied for
measurement. Calibration is recommended where a reduction of overall measuring uncertainty

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

SIST EN 60953-1:2000
— 15 — 953-1 © I EC
fl ow is recommended for the reduction
is desirable. Double or multiple measurement of primary
of measuring uncertainty and a method for checking the compatibility is described.
Pressure measurement
c)
The requirements and recommendations for pressure measurements are essentially similar. Only
the methods for the measurement of exhaust-pressure of condensing turbines differ to some
extent.
d) Temperature measurement
The requirements are essentially similar in both methods. However detail requirements are more
stringent in Method A:
calibration before and after the test,

— double measurement of the main temperature with 0.5 K maximum difference,
— thermocouples with continuous leads,
— required overall accuracy.
e) Steam quality measurements
Methods A and B are identical.
5) Evaluation of tests
The preparatory work for the evaluation and calculation of the test results is covered in a very
similar manner in Methods A and B. However, quantitative requirements are more stringent in
Method A.
Method B contains some proposals for handling cases where some requirements have not been
met to avoid rejection of the test.
In addition, Method B contains detailed methods for calculation of measuring uncertainty values
of measured variables and test results.
Method B recommends other methods for conducting and evaluating of the tests after the
specified period and without a previous inspection.
6) Correction of test results and comparison with guarantees
The correction of test results to guarantee conditions is covered in both Methods A and B.
Method A provides for the comparison of test results to guarantee without consideration of
measuring uncertainty.
Method B gives a broader spectrum of correction procedures. Furthermore, the measuring
uncertainty of the result is taken into account in the guarantee comparison.
7) Proposals for application
Since the acceptance test method to be applied has to be considered in the details of the plant
design, it should be stated as early as possible, preferably in the turbine contract, which method will
be used.
Method B can be applied to steam turbines of any type and any power. The desired measuring
uncertainty should be decided upon sufficiently early, so that the necessary provisions can be
included in the plant.
If the guarantee includes the complete power plant or large parts thereof, the relevant parts of
either method can be applied for an acceptance test in accordance with the definition of the
guarantee value.

Scope and object
1.
1.1 Scope
The rules given in this standard are applicable primarily to thermal acceptance tests with
high accuracy for condensing steam turbines driving generators for electric power services.
Some of the provisions of these rules are relevant to turbines for applications other than
driving electric power generators.
These rules provide for the testing of turbines operating with either superheated or satu-
rated steam. They include measurements and procedures required to determine specific
enthalpy within the moisture region and describe precautions necessary to permit testing
while respecting radiological safety rules in nuclear plants.
These rules contain information also applicable to the testing of back-pressure turbines,
extraction turbines and mixed-pressure turbines. Only the relevant portion of the rules need
apply to any individual case.
Uniform rules for the preparation, carrying out and evaluation of the acceptance tests are
defined in this standard. Details of the conditions under which the acceptance tests shall take
place are included.
Should any complex or special case arise not covered by these rules, appropriate agreement
shall be reached by manufacturer and purchaser before the contract is signed.
1.2 Object
The purpose of the thermal acceptance tests of steam turbines and turbine plants described
in this standard is to verify any guarantees given by the manufacturer of the plant concerning:
a) turbine plant thermal efficiency or heat rate;
flow
turbine thermodynamic efficiency or steam rate or power output at specified steam
b)
conditions;
c) main steam flow capacity and/or maximum power output.
The guarantees with their provisions shall be formulated completely and without contradic-
tions (see 2.4). The acceptance tests may also include such measurements as are necessary for
corrections according to the conditions of the guarantee and checking of the results.
1.3 Matters to be considered in the contract
Some matters in these rules have to be considered at an early stage. Such matters are dealt
with in the following sub-clauses:

2.4
Definition of guarantee values and lest results
For the quantitative description of the thermodynamic performance of a steam turbine or
steam turbine plant, several quantities are technically appropriate and generally applied.
Guaranteed values are expressed as such quantities and, consequently, test results are to be
evaluated in the same manner.
The general definition of these quantities is always quite obvious. The details, however,
may be different in each case and shall be fully considered (see also 1.2).
2.4.1
Thermal efficiency
For a power station turbine with regenerative feed heating, the thermal efficiency is the
significant criterion. It is defined as the ratio of power output to heat added to the cycle from
external sources.

M . , are the mass flows, to which heat is added
Oh, the resulting enthalpy rises
For each specific case a guarantee heat cycle together with the guarantee terminal par-
ameters has to be defined as a basis for guarantee definition and test evaluation. It should be
as simple as possible and as near as practicable to the cycle configuration to be realized for the
test (see also 3.4.4).
A practical definition for a turbine plant with single reheat and feed heating according to
figure 1 a is then:

Any additional heat and/or mass flow added to or subtracted from the cycle for example by
make-up flow m m , spray attemperator flow Mir or /his or additional extraction for steam air
preheater has to be accounted for in the evaluation by an appropriate correction of the test
result (see Clause 6). Losses are not included in this definitio
