BS EN IEC 60193:2019

What is BS EN IEC 60193 - Hydraulic turbines, storage pumps and pump-turbines about?

BS EN IEC 60193 applicable to prototype machine models having a unit power more than 5 MW and a reference diameter greater than 3 m. For equipment with less power and size, full adoption of the processes outlined above is often not justifiable. BS EN IEC 60193 can be used for such machines.

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

Who is BS EN IEC 60193 - Hydraulic turbines, storage pumps and pump-turbines for?

BS EN IEC 60193 on Hydraulic turbines, storage pumps and pump-turbines is applicable to:

• Hydraulic turbines manufacturers
• Storage pumps and pump-turbine manufacturers
• Wind power plants
• Hydropower power plants

Why should you use BS EN IEC 60193- Hydraulic turbines, storage pumps and pump-turbines?

On Hydraulic turbines, storage pumps and pump turbines BS EN IEC 60193 help you:

• To define the terms and quantities used
• To specify methods of testing and of measuring the quantities involved, in order to ascertain
• Understand the hydraulic performance of the model
• To specify the methods of computation of results and of comparison with guarantees
• To determine if the contract guarantees that fall within the scope of BS EN IEC 60193 have been fulfilled
• To define the extent, content, and structure of the final report

BS EN IEC 60193 covers the arrangements for model acceptance tests to be performed on hydraulic turbines, storage pumps and pump-turbines to determine the main hydraulic performance contract guarantees have been satisfied.

You can use BS EN IEC 60193 for the qualifications program to be agreed upon between the manufacturers and purchaser.

What’s changed since the last update?

BS EN IEC 60193:2019 supersedes BS EN 60193:1999, which is withdrawn. BS EN IEC 60193:2019 includes some technical changes with respect to BS EN 60193:1999. These include:
