This Code defines procedures for field performance and acceptance testing of hydraulic turbines and pump turbines operating with water in either the turbine or pump mode.
This Code applies to all sizes and types of hydraulic turbines or pump-turbines. It defines methods for ascertaining performance by measuring flow rate (discharge), head, and power, from which efficiency may be determined. Requirements are included for pretest arrangements, types of instrumentation, methods of measurement, testing procedures, methods of calculation, and contents of test reports. This Code also contains recommended procedures for index testing and describes the purposes for which index tests may be used.
