ISO 5i99 Standard Addresses Today's Reliability Requirements For Chemical Process Pumps
Abstract
The standards used so far by European manufacturers of chemical process pumps were only dimensional: ISO 2858, BS 24256, DIN 24256, NF E 44121. The pump manufacturer had total freedom of design provided outline dimensions were met. Therefore, many European users tend to specify API 610 for chemical duties where increased reliability is needed. By doing so, the user pays a premium for several features,that are not necessarily needed in the application. Today, there is another ISO standard for process pumps which is intended to bring additional reliability: ISO 5199: “Technical Specifications for Centrifugal Pumps- Class II.”
