Ships and marine technology — Hydraulic performance tests for waterjet propulsion system

Scope

This document specifies the measurement and acceptance criteria and the test report of hydraulic performance tests for waterjet propulsion system of Class A and Class B.
The test methods for the waterjet propulsion pump with and without the inlet duct are both specified. This document is applicable to the hydraulic performance test of water jet propulsion under the specified test conditions. This document specifies the precision grade of Class A for hydraulic model tests of water jet propulsion and Class B for acceptance tests of small and middle-sized or intermediate test models.
In addition, this document specifies the test conditions of Class A and Class B, and recommendations and requirements for test equipment to ensure that the test can be carried out under the conditions of corresponding accuracy.
This document does not include miscellaneous parts of waterjet unit, such as steering and reversing gear, hydraulic system and control system.
