Abstract
Experimental performance analysis of turbomachines requires pressure measurement, temperature measurement and flow rate measurement at the flow side and torque and rotational speed measurement at the shaft side. The present chapter deals with the principles of the most fundamental measurement techniques for these variables and describes three laboratory set-ups for performance measurement: a hydraulic turbine, a fan and a pump. Measurement results are discussed.
