ANSI/HI 10.6-2010
This new standard applies to the test of the pump only. It provides uniform procedures for mechanical and other pump performance testing and for recording of the test results of air operated diaphragm and bellows pumps. All tests are based on using water at ambient temperature. The standard covers the following types of tests: Test to demonstrate mechanical integrity when pump is in operationPerformance testNet positive Suction Head test Hydrostatic testing of pressure-retaining components Noise measurementThe following topics are included in this standard: Terminology Symbols Definitions Test Procedures Test setup and equipment Methods of measurement Calculations and plotting pump performance
