scope:

This standard applies to all industrial/commercial pumps of positive displacement and rotodynamic types. This document covers pump type classifications, materials of construction, airborne sound measurement, and decontamination. Refer to ANSI/HI 14.1 - 14.2 Rotodynamic Pumps for Nomenclature and Definitions, ANSI/HI 3.1 - 3.5 Rotary Pumps for Nomenclature, Definitions, Application, and Operation, ANSI/HI 6.1 - 6.5 Reciprocating Power Pumps for Nomenclature, Definitions, Application, and Operation, ANSI/HI 7.1 - 7.5 Controlled-volume Metering Pumps, and ANSI/HI 8.1 - 8.5 Direct Acting (Steam) Pumps for the pumps covered in the scope of this document. Figures 9.0.a through 9.0.k show pump type tree diagrams.

Purpose

This standard provides general guidelines for rotodynamic and positive displacement pump type classifications, materials of construction, airborne sound measurement, and procedures for decontamination of returned product.
