This 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 operation
Performance test
Net positive Suction Head test
Hydrostatic testing of pressure-retaining components
Noise measurement
The following topics are included in this standard:
