Scope of Standard: ANSI/HI 10.6-2016 provides uniform procedures for mechanical and pump performance testing and for recording test results for air-operated diaphragm and bellows pumps. The standard contains procedures for:
Test of mechanical integrity when pump is in operation
Performance test
Net Positive Suction Head test
Hydrostatic testing of pressure-retaining components
Noise measurement test
What You Will Learn/Overall Benefits:
How to conduct and report results on hydrostatic, performance and mechanical pump performance tests on air-operated pumps
Verify the tests used by the manufacturer to demonstrate the pumps’ ability to perform satisfactorily, both mechanically and hydraulically
Content: Terminology, symbols, definitions, test procedures, setup and equipment, recommended instrumentation, methods of measurement, calculations and plotting pump performance.
