There is already a Q&A regarding experiment setup and experimental setup, where the setup, a bunch of instruments, is used to measure properties of something else and the instruments themselves are not under test. It was proposed, that there is a convention to use experimental setup while experiment setup is actually more precise.
However, my non-native speaker supervisor (who has given a lot of great advice) also insist on experimental repetitions and experimental iterations although the meaning is repetitions/iterations of an experiment. I prefer experiment repetitions/iterations. Which is correct and why?

"Experiment setup" would be appropriate when describing the "setup" (preparation) for a specific experiment or group of similar experiments. "Experimental setup" is more appropriate when describing the more general overall setup of the experiments, vs some specific experiment or a small group. It's a hair fuzzy.

This reminds me of the argument I sometimes have over whether it's better to say 'resonance frequency' or 'resonant frequency'. I go for 'resonance frequency' because it's not the frequency that is resonant but some oscillatory system. Likewise, I prefer 'experiment set-up in the cases you cite, and for rather similar reasons. In both cases, though, I think that the adjective ('resonant', 'experimental') is acceptable instead of the noun.
