Rules for steam turbine thermal acceptance tests - Part 0: Wide range of accuracy for various types and sizes of turbines (IEC 60953-0:2022)

The rules given in this standard are applicable to thermal acceptance tests covering a wide range of accuracy on steam turbines of every type, rating and application. Only the relevant portion of these rules will apply to any individual case.
The rules provide for the testing of turbines, whether operating with either superheated or saturated 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.
Uniform rules for the preparation, carrying out, evaluation, comparison with guarantee and calculation of measuring uncertainty of acceptance tests are defined in this standard. Details of the conditions under which the acceptance test shall take place are included.
Should any complex or special case arise which is not covered by these rules, appropriate agreement shall be reached by manufacturer and purchaser before the contract is signed.

Règles pour les essais thermiques de réception des turbines à vapeur - Partie 0: Plage de précision étendue pour différents types et dimensions de turbines (IEC 60953-0:2022)

IEC 60953-0:2022 Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition comprend les modifications techniques importantes suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente :
a) IEC 60953-2:1990 a servi de base à l’élaboration de la IEC 60953-0;
b) Des techniques de mesure obsolètes ont été mises à jour et la réduction correspondante de l’incertitude de mesure des résultats d’essai attendus a été indiquée;
c) La garantie de la puissance de sortie au débit de vapeur spécifié a été incluse;
d) Une proposition d’attribution des fuites non comptabilisées a été incluse;
e) les méthodes de correction et les comparaisons de garantie sont mises à jour;
f) Diverses annexes supprimées:
- Annexe B (buse d’écoulement)
- Annexe E (courbes de correction généralisées)
- Annexe G (incertitude de mesure de la puissance)
g) Annexe ajoutée:
- Annexe E (Méthode de variation de température) reprise de la IEC 60953-3:2002, Annexe L
Les règles données dans le présent document sont applicables aux essais d’acceptation thermique couvrant un large éventail de précision sur les turbines à vapeur de tout type, de toute puissance nominale et de toute application. Seule la partie pertinente de ces règles s’appliquera à un cas individuel.
Les règles prévoient l’essai des turbines, qu’elles fonctionnent à la vapeur surchauffée ou saturée. Ils comprennent les mesures et les procédures requises pour déterminer l’enthalpie spécifique dans la région humide et décrivent les précautions nécessaires pour permettre les essais tout en respectant les règles de sûreté radiologique dans les centrales nucléaires.
Des règles uniformes pour la préparation, la réalisation, l’évaluation, la comparaison avec la garantie et le calcul de l’incertitude de mesure des essais de réception sont définies dans cette norme. Les détails des conditions dans lesquelles l’essai d’acceptation peut avoir lieu sont inclus.
En cas de cas complexe ou particulier qui n’est pas couvert par ces règles, un accord approprié doit être conclu entre le fabricant et l’acheteur avant la signature du contrat.
Cette première édition annule et remplace la CEI 60953-2, publiée en 1990.

Pravila za preskuse toplotne sprejemljivosti parne turbine - 0. del: Širok razpon natančnosti za različne vrste in velikosti turbin (IEC 60953-0:2022)

Pravila, podana v tem standardu, veljajo za preskuse toplotne sprejemljivosti in zajemajo širok razpon natančnosti za vse vrste, kategorije in načine uporabe parnih turbin. V posameznem primeru se uporabi zgolj ustrezni del teh pravil.
Pravila se navezujejo na preskušanje turbin ne glede na to, ali se pri njih uporablja pregreta ali nasičena para. Vključujejo meritve in postopke, potrebne za določanje specifične entalpije v območju vlažnosti, in opisujejo varnostne ukrepe, ki omogočajo preskušanje ob upoštevanju pravil za radiološko varnost v jedrskih elektrarnah.
V tem standardu so določena enotna pravila za pripravo, izvedbo, vrednotenje, primerjavo z zagotovljenimi vrednostmi in izračun merilne negotovosti preskusov sprejemljivosti. Vključuje podroben opis pogojev, v katerih je treba izvesti preskuse sprejemljivosti.
Če pride do zapletenega ali posebnega primera, ki ga ta pravila ne zajemajo, se morata proizvajalec in kupec pred podpisom pogodbe o tem ustrezno dogovoriti.
