994 ©IEC— 9 —GUIDE FOR FIELD MEASUREMENT OF VIBRATIONSAND PULSATIONS IN HYDRAULIC MACHINES(TURBINES, STORAGE PUMPS AND PUMP-TURBINES)INTRODUCTIONOn a machine in service, pulsations and vibrations which cannot be avoided and which do notaffect by themselves the service life of the plant where they occur, can always be observed. Theirvalues depend on many factors, among which are the flow pattern in the water passages underdifferent operating conditions of the unit, peculiarities of the design as well as the thoroughness ofmanufacture, erection and maintenance. Such pulsations and vibrations can be considered asdetrimental only when certain parts of the machine or of the plant are subject to forces that mayimpair its resistance or when unacceptable disturbances are carried to its environment.In extreme cases, vibrations in hydraulic machines can result in the formation of cracks and evenin fracture of components due to fatigue*.Excessive vibration in hydraulic machines not only can reduce their trouble-free service life butcan also affect operation of governing systems and instruments, the behaviour of the attachedstructures and the health of personnel.Measurement of pulsation and vibration characteristics or, preferably, of their effects is to becarried out in accordance with this guide which also gives the information necessary to derive thevalue of the physical quantities from the readings of the measuring instruments.Given the present state of knowledge, it can only be hoped that measurements made incompliance with this guide will reveal a basic characteristic making it possible to relate pulsationsand vibrations to their effects statistically, with an acceptable confidence level.Vibration studies of a hydraulic machine represent a long and difficult operation and hence areexpensive (particularly as regards the non-availability of the machine) and therefore should beundertaken only if a limited number of measurements of stresses or movements indicates thepossibility of a real danger. The purpose of such work is, if possible, to eliminate the source ofdetrimental loadings after having identified it or, should this not be practicable, to define anoperating procedure reducing such loadings to an acceptable level. There are many sources ofdisturbances but a very small number of them, and even one only, may create a real problem on agiven machine.As a rule, the vibrational state of a hydraulic machine is assessed from tests in which the vibrationis measured at individual characteristic points of the structure. A standard experimental set-up,designed on the basis of good practice and experience, should already yield sufficient indicationsabout the general vibrational conditions of the machine. However, examination of results thusacquired can sometimes point to strong local amplification (resonance) in some vital parts of themachine; if such is the case, the affected part(s) should be more closely investigated by meansof an appropriate experimental arrangement. Flow pattern in the water passages may have* In previous years fatigue failures in hydraulic machines were few in number. However, the current tendency to increasespecific loads and to save material in the design of hydraulic machines can lead to lowering of dynamic rigidity of thestructure, which may increase the risk of vibration in newly designed machines. Also the increase in geometricaldimensions stemming from increasing unit capacity can lead to a lowering of characteristic vibration frequencies of themachine or of some parts thereof (guide vanes, etc.). Thus the frequencies in question could more easily interact with thefrequencies of hydraulic and/or electrical oscillations in the system (or harmonics thereof).SIST IEC 60994:1999

In order to obtain an accurate vibrationanalysis, it is common practice to relate appropriately located measurements of vibrations (see 5.2.1and 5.2.2) with appropriately located measurements of pulsations* of other important quantities,such as:pressure pulsations (see 5.2.3);—pulsations of local strains and corresponding stresses (see 5.2.4);shaft torque pulsations (see 5.2.5);—rotation speed pulsation (see 5.2.6);—power pulsations (see 5.2.7);—guide vane torque pulsations (see 5.2.8);—radial thrust pulsations measured at guide bearings (see 5.2.9);axial thrust pulsations measured at thrust bearing (see 5.2.10);and, if need be, also other quantities.It is in no way intended that all the measurements listed in this guide should be carried out inevery case.SECTION ONE — GENERAL1. Scope and object1.1 Scope1.1.1 This guide applies to any type of reaction or impulse turbine, as well to any type ofpump-turbine and storage pump, coupled to an electric generator or motor.1.1.2 The guide covers the field of vibration and pulsation tests referred to as standard tests.The objectives of the tests are as follows:Assessment of hydraulic machine design, manufacture and quality of erection from theviewpoint of vibration**.—Assessment of the changes of vibration behaviour during the machine life.—Provision of recommendations applying to operation of unit (for instance, choice of themost appropriate transient sequences).—Aid in analysing faults and break downs.1 1.3 If it is not possible to apply the recommendations of the guide because of the construction ofthe hydraulic machine, or if it is not necessary to conduct some of the measurements, suchitems may be omitted on prior agreement between the manufacturer and the user.1.2 Object1.2.1 To establish uniform rules to be applied when carrying out vibration and pulsation tests. Toestablish methods of measuring and of test data processing.* In this guide, the term `pulsation" is understood to mean any periodic (or quasi-periodic) fluctuation, irrespectiveof its frequency.** Recommendations on assessment of the vibrational and pulsatory state of the machine will not be prepared untilsystematic data have been accumulated in accordance with this guide and have been properly interpreted.SIST IEC 60994:1999



994 0C IEC— 13 —1.2.2 To indicate criteria for a unified approach to the comparison of vibrations and pulsations ofdifferent hydraulic machines of the same class (see 2.4).1.2.3 To ensure the possibility of accumulating actual data of sufficient homogeneity on differenthydraulic machines.1.3 Excluded topics1.3.1 The guide excludes all matters of purely commercial interest.1.3.2 The guide is not concerned with special vibration and pulsation tests for research purposes,although it is recommended that the methods described in the guide be applied to usualvibration and pulsation tests.1.3.3 Laboratory model vibration and pulsation tests and tests of separate full-sized parts in theworkshop are not dealt with in this guide.However, if pulsation tests on a model are available, they should be taken into con-sideration.1.3.4 The problems related to the vibrations of civil engineering works and of parts of theelectrical machine other than bearing(s) or the shaft, as well as the pressure pulsations in thewaterways external to the machine*, are not dealt with in the guide.However, in specific cases, when the causes of excessive vibration of a hydraulic machineare uncertain or might be influencing other parts of the plant, it may be appropriate to inspectthe civil engineering work structures and/or the electrical machine as well as the waterwaysexternal to the machine.1.3.5 The guide excludes recommendations on identifying and eliminating causes of vibrations.1.3.6 Although quite often noise measurements and noise analysis, if adequately performed, canbe a useful diagnostic tool to assess vibratory troubles of a hydraulic machine, this guideconsiders only mechanical vibrations to the exclusion of acoustical effects (noise).1.3.7 Regulation systems may interact with phenomena of "pulsations" of hydraulic, mechanicaland electrical quantities in a hydroelectric power plant. However, treatment of such interac-tions or guidelines for conducting artificial-excitation test by injecting a sine signal in thegovernor loop (as is often done e.g. to determine the frequency response of the system) areoutside the scope of this guide.2.
