Full title and description

St ISO 13643-5-2017 — Ships and marine technology — Manoeuvring of ships — Part 5: Submarine specials. This part of ISO 13643 provides symbols, terminology and guidance for tests and assessments specifically relating to the manoeuvring behaviour of submarines and submarine models, with emphasis on vertical-plane manoeuvres and related test arrangements.

Abstract

ISO 13643-5:2017 defines symbols and terms and provides guidelines for the conduct of tests to give evidence about the manoeuvring ability in the vertical plane of submarines and of submarine models. It is intended to be read in conjunction with ISO 13643‑1 (general concepts, quantities and test conditions) and other parts of the ISO 13643 series.

• Number of pages: 21 pages (ISO bibliographic record).

Scope

This part of ISO 13643 applies to submarine-specific manoeuvring tests and model tests concerned with vertical-plane behaviour (for example, depth and pitch manoeuvres). It defines the symbols and terms used for these tests and gives guidance on test conduct, instrumentation and reporting so results can be interpreted consistently and compared across facilities and trials. ISO 13643-5 is intended to be used together with ISO 13643‑1 (general concepts and test conditions) and the other parts of the series covering planar and model-test procedures.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions of symbols and terminology specific to submarine vertical-plane manoeuvring and model tests.
• Guidance on test arrangements and conditions for assessing pitch and depth control performance.
• Recommendations for instrumentation, measurement accuracy and data recording for manoeuvring trials and model tests.
• Requirements for reporting test results to ensure consistent interpretation and comparability (reference conditions, scaling and uncertainty).
• Reference to series-wide fundamentals (ISO 13643-1) for quantities, symbols and general test conditions.

Typical use and users

Used by naval architects, submarine design offices, hydrodynamicists, model-test laboratories (towing tanks and free-running model facilities), classification societies and research institutes involved in submarine performance assessment. Typical activities include pre‑sea model testing, sea trials planning and interpretation, verification of control systems and hydrodynamic characterisation for design or procurement.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 13643-5:2017 is the part of the ISO 13643 series that addresses submarine-specific manoeuvring considerations and provides symbols, terminology and guidance for tests and model trials focused on vertical-plane behaviour.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers definitions, recommended test arrangements and guidance for conducting and reporting tests that assess manoeuvring ability in the vertical plane for submarines and submarine models, intended to be used with ISO 13643‑1 and other parts of the series.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Naval architects, submarine designers, hydrodynamicists, model-test laboratories, classification societies and research institutes involved in submarine testing and trialling.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Edition 2 (2017) is the current published version; ISO records indicate the 2017 edition was confirmed in subsequent ISO reviews and remains the active edition at the time of the last ISO confirmation. (Always check the national or ISO catalogue for the most recent review status before use.)

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 13643 is a multipart series (ISO 13643‑1 through ISO 13643‑6) covering general concepts and a range of manoeuvring and model-test topics; ISO 13643‑5 is the submarine‑specials part.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Submarine, manoeuvring, vertical plane, pitch, depth, model tests, hydrodynamics, towing tank, ISO 13643.
