Standardization of steam turbines

In the context of international standardization, standardization activities mainly focus on the following norms developed under the direction of and in collaboration with VDMA:


IEC 60045-1 (1991)
 Steam turbines - Part 1: Specifications

IEC 60953-1 (1990)       
 Rules for steam turbine thermal acceptance tests. Part 1: Method A - High accuracy for large condensing steam turbines

IEC 60953-2 (1990)
 Rules for steam turbine thermal acceptance tests. Part 2: Method B - Wide range of accuracy for various types and sizes of turbines

IEC 60953-3 (2001)
 Rules for steam turbine thermal acceptance tests - Part 3: Thermal performance verification tests of retrofitted steam turbine

IEC 61063 (1991)
 Acoustics - Measurement of airborne noise emitted by steam turbines and driven machinery

IEC 61064 (1991)
 Acceptance tests for steam turbine speed control systems

IEC/TS 61370 (2001)
 Steam turbines - Steam purity

Standardization activities are supported by the Steam Turbine Committee.
