RE: steam turbine test
In either case, a "low speed, static balance" spec usually will assure the rotor can be rolled to rated speed, and if performed by experance personnel, the running speed vibration will be acceptable. However, low speed balancing may not result in a balance that is statisfactory for continued operation and a balance program must then be performed. Usally the cost in cycling the plant from cold, to running condition, then back to a condition to allow access to the rotor's balanceing planes several times to do a balance will justify the cost of doing a "high speed, vacuum dynamic balance".
I am familiar with the on site balancing (a little with Low speed), but believe there are only a few places in the US that can due large (~20 ton LPs) rotors.

I would recommend dealing with TurboCare in Houston:
