Establishes uniform rules to be applied when carrying out vibration and pulsation tests. Indicates criteria for a unified approach for comparing the vibrations and pulsations of different hydraulic machines of the same class. Ensures the possibility of accumulating actual data of sufficient homogeneity on different hydraulic machines. Coverage includes: terms, definitions, symbols and units; considerations relating to the methods of measurement; calibration. Also includes detailed appendices.
