The electrical control cabinet (19) and the computer monitoring platform (20) are connected, and the water pump start frequency is set to the frequency of the first working condition through the electrical control cabinet (19) or the computer monitoring platform (20). At this time, the water system starts to circulate, and the sediment sensor (21) senses the water flow in the outlet pipe (2) to obtain sediment concentration data. The stirrer (12) is turned on to stir the sediment in the water pool (1) and monitor the sediment sensor (21) data. When the data is stable, the first group of water samples are taken from the sampling port using a sampling cup, and the flow rate and The sediment sensor (21) data is used to complete the first working condition test. The starting frequency of the variable frequency water pump (5) is adjusted to the second working condition frequency. The second working condition test is carried out in the same manner. After all the tests are completed, the water samples of each group are subjected to the drying method or specific gravity method to measure the total weight / volume, dry the sediment and weigh the dry sand. The average sediment concentration of each group is calculated. The sample concentration is compared with the average concentration collected by the sensor to obtain the sensor error under working condition 1. The sensor error under other flow rate conditions is obtained in the same manner. The sediment concentration of the water pool (1) is changed and the above test is repeated to obtain the sensor error under the new concentration.

The on-line monitoring test platform for sediment characteristics of a hydraulic turbine according to claim 9, characterized in that: The method also includes connecting the sampling port (24) to the sampling interface of the sediment online monitoring system product and calibrating the sediment online monitoring system product, which specifically includes: The electrical control cabinet (19) and the computer monitoring platform (20) are connected, the starting frequency of the variable frequency water pump (5) is set to a predetermined working condition frequency, the water system circulation is started, the agitator (12) is turned on, the sediment in the pool (1) is stirred evenly, the sediment online monitoring system product data is monitored, and when the data is stable, a water sample is taken from the sampling port (24), the flow rate and sediment online monitoring system product data at this time are read, the starting frequency of the variable frequency water pump (5) is adjusted to the next working condition frequency, and the above steps are repeated to perform the next working condition test. After all the tests are completed, the total weight / volume measurement, sediment drying, and dry sand weighing are performed on each group of water samples by drying method or specific gravity method, and the average sediment concentration of each group is calculated. The sample concentration is compared with the average concentration collected by the sensor to obtain the concentration error of the sediment online monitoring system product under each working condition, and at the same time, the sediment gradation test of each group of water samples is performed on a standard laser particle size analyzer to obtain the gradation error of the sediment online monitoring system product under each working condition.
