IEC 60193 Ed. 3.0 b:2019

IEC 60193:2019 applies to laboratory models of any type of impulse or reaction hydraulic turbine, storage pump or pump-turbine.

This document applies to models of prototype machines either with unit power greater than 5 MW or with reference diameter greater than 3 m. Full application of the procedures herein prescribed is not generally justified for machines with smaller power and size. Nevertheless, this document may be used for such machines by agreement between the purchaser and the supplier.

This document excludes all matters of purely commercial interest, except those inextricably bound up with the conduct of the tests.

This document is concerned with neither the structural details of the machines nor the mechanical properties of their components, so long as these do not affect model performance or the relationship between model and prototype performances.
