1.1 This International Standard covers the arrangements for tests at the site to determine the extent to which

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
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.

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.
