BS EN 60609-1:2005

This standard BS EN 60609-1:2005 Hydraulic turbines, storage pumps and pump-turbines. Cavitation pitting evaluation is classified in these ICS categories:

• 23.100.10 Pumps and motors
• 27.140 Hydraulic energy engineering

Provides a basis for the formulation of guarantees applied to cavitation pitting for reaction hydraulic turbines, storage pumps and pump-turbines. It addresses the measurement and evaluation of the amount of cavitation pitting on certain specified machine components for given conditions, which are defined in the contract by output, specific hydraulic energy (E), speed, material, operation, etc. The cavitation-pitting evaluation is based on the loss of material during a given time and under accurately defined operating conditions. All wetted surfaces are considered
