The Hydraulic Institute (HI), under the approval of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), is seeking qualified individuals to participate in the review process of three pump standards to be placed into stabilized maintenance. 

These three standards include:

  • ANSI/HI 6.1-6.5 Reciprocating Power Pumps for Nomenclature, Definitions, Application, and Operation standard. This standard was designed to provide types and nomenclature; definitions; design and application; installation; operation and maintenance; and test for Positive-Displacement Reciprocating Pumps including the following: Reciprocating Power Pumps, Reciprocating Direct-Acting (Steam) Pumps, Reciprocating Controlled Volume Pumps, and Reciprocating Diaphragm Pumps. Excluded from the scope of products are high-pressure hydraulic power pumps and systems.

  • ANSI/HI 6.6 Reciprocating Pump Test standard. This standard was designed to provide guidance to test reciprocating power pumps, including controlled-volume metering pumps, which are driven by power from an outside source applied to the crankshaft. It includes procedures for testing such pumps. These standards apply to test of the pump only, unless stated otherwise. The type of test performed and the auxiliary equipment to be used should be agreed upon by the purchaser and manufacturer prior to the test.

  • ANSI/HI 8.1-8.5 Direct-Acting (Steam) Pumps for Nomenclature, Definitions, Application, and Operation standard. This standard was designed to provide types and nomenclature; definitions; design and application; installation; operation and maintenance; and test for direct-acting (steam) pumps.

Individuals and organizations directly and materially affected by this standard are asked to contact HI. These parties include pump users and specifiers, producers, standards developers, government agencies, and general interest groups. HI is currently assembling a canvass list of all interested parties who wish to review the drafts and will submit the list to ANSI in order to meet its open canvass requirements.

To participate in the ANSI/HI canvass, contact Administrator of Technical Affairs Karen Anderson at [email protected] or call 973.267.9700 ext. 123.
