This standard applies to industrial rotary positive displacement pumps. It includes detailed procedures on the setup and methods for conducting hydrostatic test and performance tests of such pumps. Its objective is to establish a uniform demonstration of a pump's ability to perform satisfactorily, both mechanically and hydraulically. This standard includes:
Terminology
Instrumentation
Plotting of Results
Test Procedure
Acceptable deviation of test quantities
Methods for Rotary Speed Measurement...and Much More!
Significant Updates in the 2010 Version:
Completely reformatted for easier reading
Use of larger graphics and figures
More detailed descriptions, especially in the "Terminology" sections
An equation for pump output power
Current testing procedures
Acceptable deviation of dependent test quantities from specified values for Type III and Type IV testing
