American
National
Standard

Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the


requirements for due process, consensus and other criteria for approval have been met
by the standards developer.
Consensus is established when, in the judgement of the ANSI Board of Standards
Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected
interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered,
and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution.
The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does
not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not,
from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards.
The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no
circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no
person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American
National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests
for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name
appears on the title page of this standard.
CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at
any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that
action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard. Purchasers of
American National Standards may receive current information on all standards by calling or writing the American National Standards Institute.

Foreword (Not part of Standard)


Purpose and aims of the Hydraulic Institute
The purpose and aims of the Institute are to promote the continued growth and
well-being of pump manufacturers and further the interests of the public in such
matters as are involved in manufacturing, engineering, distribution, safety, transportation and other problems of the industry, and to this end, among other things:
a) To develop and publish standards for pumps;
b) To collect and disseminate information of value to its members 'and to the
public;
c) To appear for its members before governmental departments and agencies
and other bodies in regard to matters affecting the industry;
d) To increase the amount and to improve the quality of pump service to the public;
e) To support educational and research activities;
f) To promote the business interests of its members but not to engage in business of the kind ordinarily carried on for profit or to perform particular services
for its members or individual persons as distinguished from activities to
improve the business conditions and lawful interests of all of its members;

Purpose of Standards
1) Hydraulic Institute Standards are adopted in the public interest and are
designed to help eliminate misunderstandings between the manufacturer,
the purchaser and/or the user and to assist the purchaser in selecting and
obtaining the proper product for a particular need.
2)

Use of Hydraulic Institute Standards is completely voluntary. Existence of


Hydraulic Institute Standards does not in any respect preclude a member
from manufacturing or selling products not conforming to the Standards.

Definition of a Standard of the Hydraulic Institute


Quoting from Article XV, Standards, of the By-Laws of the Institute, Section B:
"An Institute Standard defines the product, material, process or procedure with
reference to one or more of the following: nomenclature, composition, construction, dimensions, tolerances, safety, operating characteristics, performance, quality, rating, testing and service for which designed."

Comments from users


Comments from users of this Standard will be appreciated, to help the Hydraulic
Institute prepare even more useful future editions. Questions arising from the content of this Standard may be directed to the Hydraulic Institute. It will direct all
such questions to the appropriate technical committee for provision of a suitable
answer.
If a dispute arises regarding contents of an Institute publication or an answer provided by the Institute to a question such as indicated above, the point in question
shall be referred to the Executive Committee of the Hydraulic Institute, which then
shall act as a Board of Appeals.

vii

Revisions
The Standards of the Hydraulic Institute are subject to constant review, and revisions are undertaken whenever it is found necessary because of new developments and progress in the art. If no revisions are made for five years, the
standards are reaffirmed using the ANSI canvass procedure.

Units of Measurement
Metric units of measurement are used; and corresponding US units appear in
brackets. Charts, graphs and sample calculations are also shown in both metric
and US units.
Since values given in metric units are not exact equivalents to values given in US
units, it is important that the selected units of measure to be applied be stated in
reference to this standard. If no such statement is provided, metric units shall govern.

Consensus for this standard was achieved by use of the Canvass

Types and nomenclature

Definition of a centrifugal pump

Kinetic pumps may be classified by such methods as


impeller or casing configuration, end application of the
pump, specific speed or mechanical configuration. The
method used in Figure 1.1 is based primarily on
mechanical configuration.

A centrifugal pump is a kinetic machine converting


mechanical energy into hydraulic energy through centrifugal activity.

1.1.1

Centrifugal pumps are most commonly typed by their


general mechanical configuration. The broadest characteristics, which include virtually all centrifugal
pumps, are the following:

1.1.3

Scope

This Standard is for centrifugal and regenerative turbine pumps of all industrial/commercial types except
vertical single and multistage diffuser types. It includes
types and nomenclature.

Kinetic type pumps

HI Centrifugal Pump Types and Nomenclature 1.1.3.1

2000

Overhung impeller type

In this group, the impeller (or impellers) is mounted on


the end of a shaft that is cantilevered or "overhung"
from its bearing supports.
These pumps are either close coupled, where the
impeller is mounted directly on the driver shaft; or separately coupled, where the impeller is mounted on a
separate pump shaft supported by its own bearing.

1.1.4.1

Specific speed

To understand impeller groupings better, a discussion


of specific speed may be helpful.

Specific speed is a correlation of pump rate of flow


head, and speed at optimum efficiency, which c1assi~
fies the pump impellers with respect to their geometric
similarity.
Specific speed is a number usually expressed as:

1.1.3.2

Impeller between bearing type

In this group, the impeller (or impellers) is mounted on


a shaft with bearings at both ends. The impeller is
mounted "between bearings."
These pumps are further separated as single stage
and multistage configurations.
1.1.3.3

Regenerative turbine type

A low rate of flow, high head pump utilizing p.eripheral


or side channel vanes or buckets on a rotating impeller
to impart energy to the pumped liquid. The liquid travels in a helical pattern through the impeller vanes and
accompanying flow passages, with the liquid pressure
increasing uniformly through the passages from inlet
port to outlet port.
1.1.3.4

Special variations

In addition to the mechanical configuration described


previously, there are some special variations of pumps
that are included in these general types but which
stand separately because of some special characteristic. Examples of these are:
a) Sewage pumps with nonclog impellers;
b) Abrasive pumps which may be made of hard metals or may have rubber lining;
c) Heating circulating pumps which are fractional
horsepower units for home heating systems;
d) Canned motor or magnetic drive pumps which do
not require mechanical seals or packing.

1.1.4

Impeller designs

Impeller designs are grouped as either radial flow,


mixed flow, or axial flow depending on their hydraulic
geometry. These are further described as follows:

nQ5
NS=H75

Where:
NS =

n =
Q

H =

Pump specific speed;


Rotative speed in revolutions per minute;
Rate of flow in m3 /h (gpm) at optimum
efficiency;
Total head in meters (feet) per stage

The specific speed of an impeller is defined as the rev- ..


?Iutiollns per minute at which a geometrically similar ..
Impe er would run if it were of such a size as to discharge one m3/hr (gpm) against one meter (foot) head.
Specific speed is not strictly dimensionless as indicated in Table 1.6, but those dimensions are not
shown for convenience.
Specific speed is indicative of the shape and characteristics of an impeller. It has been found that the ratios
of major dimensions vary uniformly with specific speed.
Specific speed is useful to the designer in predicting
proportions required and to the application engineer in
checking suction limitations of pumps. Proportions
vary with specific speed as shown in Figure 1.2.
Pumps are traditionally divided into three types: radial
flow, mixed flow, and axial flow. However, it can be
seen from Figure 1.2 that there is a continuous change
from the radial flow impeller, which develops pressure
principally by the action of centrifugal force, to the axial
flow impeller, which develops most of its head by the
propelling or lifting action of the vanes on the liquid.
In the specific speed range of approximately 1200 to
7000 (1000 to 6000), double suction impellers areA
used as frequently as single suction impellers.

Suction specific speed is an index number for a centrifugal pump similar. to discharge specific speed and is
used to define its suction characteristic. See HI 1.32000 Section 1.3.4.1.15.

Radial flow impellers with double curvature of the


vanes at the inlet.

1.1.4.3

This type of pump has a single inlet impeller with the


flow entering axially and discharging in an axial and
radial direction. Pumps of this type usually have a specific speed from 4900 to 10.500 (4200 to 9000) (see
Figure 1.4).

Radial flow

Pumps of this type with single inlet impellers usually


have a specific speed below 4900 (4200). and with
~. double suction impellers. a specific speed below 7000
~ (6000). In pumps of this type, the liquid enters the
- impeller at the hub and flows radially to the periphery
(see Figure 1.3).

1.1.4.5

Mixed flow

HI Centrifugal Pump Types and Nomenclature 1.1.4.6

Axial flow

1.1.5

A pump of this type, sometimes called a propeller


pump, has a single inlet impeller with the flow entering
axially and discharging nearly axially. Pumps of this
type usually have a specific speed above 10,500
(9000) (see Figure 1.5).

Construction drawings

The construction drawings on the following pages


were prepared to provide a means for identifying the
various pump types covered by the HI Standards and
also to serve as the basis for a common language
between the purchaser, manufacturer and specification writer.

Generally the individual part names on these drawings


are numbered such that rotating parts have been
assigned even numbers while non-rotating parts have
been assigned odd numbers. There are a few exceptions however.

Figure 1.5 -

Axial flow pump

In cases where a pump may use two or more parts


that are of the same generic type but different geometries (e.g., gaskets) this difference is indicated by the
addition of a letter suffix to the item number (e.g., 73A,
738, etc.).

1.1.6.1

General information
Size of centrifugal pumps

2000

impeller ring(s);
shaft sleeves.

The diameter of the discharge opening of a centrifugal


pump determines its nominal size only and does not
definitely fix its rate of flow. It is recommended that the
required rate of flow be specified.

It shall not include such items as mechanical seal(s),


gland(s), lantern ring(s), packing, water shield(s), oil
thrower(s), or oil ring(s), bearings, bearing appurtenances, coupling, pulley, or sheave.

1.1.6.2

1.1.6.5.1.2

Duplicate performance pump

A duplicate pump is one in which the performance


characteristics are the same as another within the variations permitted by these standards, and parts are of
the same type; but, by reason of improved design and/
or materials, mounting dimensions and parts are not
necessarily interchangeable.
1.1.6.3

Rotating assembly

A rotating assembly shall consist of a bare rotor plus


casing wearing rings (where used), casing bushings
(where used), bearings, and all other stationary or
rotating parts required to be assembled over the shaft.
A rotating assembly shall include the following (where
used):

Dimensionally interchangeable pump


packing and gland(s);

An interchangeable pump is one in which the mounting dimensions are such that the replacement pump
can be mounted on the existing bedplate and match
existing piping and driver, with hydraulic characteristics and materials to be specified. Interchangeability
may involve some variation, not necessarily significant,
as a result of manufacturing tolerances.

mechanical seals(s) and gland(s);


water shield(s);
oil thrower(s);
oil ring(s);

1.1.6.4
pump

Identical performance and dimensional


bearing housing cover(s).

An identical pump is a duplicate of, and in addition is


interchangeable with, a s'pecific pump. Where it is
intended that a pump is to be identical in all respects
including parts, mountings, connecting flange dimensions and materials, it should be identified as "identical
with Pump No. __", not "duplicate."

It shall not include coupling, pulley, or sheave, nor shall


it include bearing housings except when these are of a
design that requires that they be assembled prior to
mounting of the bearings.

1.2.3.2

Definitions

The purpose of this section is to define terms used in


pump applications. Symbols, terms and units are
shown in Table 1.6 and subscripts in Table 1.7.

Rate of flow (capacity)

The rate of flow of a pump is the total volume throughput per unit of time at suction conditions. It assumes
no entrained gases at the stated operating conditions.
The term "capacity" is also used.

1.2.2

(Metric) v

(US units) v

Head

Head is the expression of the energy content of the liquid referred to any arbitrary datum. It is expressed in
units of energy per unit weight of liquid. The measuring
unit for head is meters (feet) of liquid.
1.2.3.1

v2
2g

=-

Where v is obtained by dividing the flow by the cross


section area at the point of gauge connection:

Speed

The number of revolutions of the shaft in a given unit of


time. Speed is expressed as revolutions per minute.

1.2.3

Velocity head (hv)

The kinetic energy of the liquid at a given cross section.


Velocity head is expressed by the following equation:
h

1.2.1

Gauge head (h g )

1 The energy of the liquid due to its pressure as determined by a pressure gauge or other pressure measuring device.

1.2.3.3

278 x Q
A
=

0.32~5 x Q

Elevation head (Z)

The potential energy of the liquid due to its elevation


relative to a datum level measured to the center of the
pressure gauge or liquid surface.
1.2.3.4

Datum

The pump's datum is a horizontal plane that serves as


the reference for head measurements taken during
test. Vertical pumps are usually tested in an open pit
with the suction flooded. The datum is then the eye of
the first stage impeller (see Figure 1.44).
Optional tests can be performed with the pump
mounted in a ,suction can. IrrespeCtive of pump mounting, the pump's datum is maintained at the eye of the
first stage impeller.

1.2.3.5

Total suction head (h s ), open suction

1.2.3.7

Total discharge head (h d )

For open suction (wet pit) installations, the first stage


impeller of the bowl assembly is submerged in a pit.
The total suction head (h s) at datum is the submergence (Zw). If the average velocity head of the flow in
the pit is small enough to be neglected, then:

The total discharge head (hd) is the sum of the discharge gauge head (h gd ) plus the velocity head (hvd)
at point of gauge attachment plus the elevation head
(Zd) from the discharge gauge centerline to the pump
datum:

Where:

1.2.3.8

Zw =
1.2.3.6
test

Vertical distance in meters (feet) from free


water surface to datum

Total suction head (h s ), closed suction

For closed suction installations, the pump suction nozzle may be located either above or below grade level.
The total suction head (h s), referred to the eye of the
first stage impeller is the algebraic sum of the suction
gauge head (h gs) plus the velocity head (h vs ) at point
of gauge attachment plus the elevation head (Zs) from
the suction gauge centerline (or manometer zero) to
the pump datum:

The suction head (h s) is positive when the suction


gauge reading is above atmospheric pressure and
negative when the reading is below atmospheric pressure by an amount exceeding the sum of the elevation
head and the velocity head.

Total head (H)

This is the measure of energy increase per unit weight


of the liquid, imparted to the liquid by the pump, and is
the difference between the total discharge head and
the total suction head.
This is the head normally specified for pumping applications since the complete characteristics of a system
determine the total head required.

1.2.3.9

Atmospheric head (h atm )

Local atmospheric pressure expressed in meters (feet)


of liquid.

1.2.3.10

Friction head (hr)

Friction head is the hydraulic energy required to overcome frictional resistance of a piping system to liquid
flow expressed in meters (feet) of liquid.

1.2.4.1

Condition points
Rated condition point

Rated condition applies to the rate of flow, head, net


positive suction head and speed of the pump, as specified by the order.
1.2.4.2

1.2.5.3 Net positive suction head available


(NPSHA)

Specified condition point

Specified condition point is synonymous with rated


condition point.

Net positive suction head available is the total suction


head of liquid absolute, determined at the first stage
impeller datum, less the absolute vapor pressure of
the liquid at a specific rate of flow:
NPSHA = hsa - hvp
Where:
hsa =

1.2.4.3

Normal condition point

Applies to the point on the performance curve at which


the pump will normally operate. It may be the same as
the rated condition point.
1.2.4.4

Best efficiency point (BEP)

The rate of flow and head at which the pump efficiency


is a maximum.
1.2.4.5

Shut off (SO)

The condition of zero flow where no liquid is flowing


through the pump, but the pump is primed and running.
1.2.4.6

Allowable operating range

Total suction head absolute = hatm + hs

or NPSHA

= hatm + hs -

hvp

NOTE: hatm will vary with elevation and weather.


1.2.5.4 Net positive suction head required
(NPSHR)
The amount of suction head, over vapor pressure,
required to prevent more than 3% loss in total head
from the first stage of the pump at a specific rate of flow.
1.2.5.5

Maximum suction pressure

This is the highest suction pressure to which the pump.


will be subjected during operation.

1.2.6

Power

This is the flow range at the specified speeds with the


impeller supplied as limited by cavitation, heating,
vibration, noise, shaft deflection, fatigue and other
similar criteria. This range is to be defined by the
manufacturer. See ANSI/HI 9.6.3-1997, Centrifugal
and Vertical Pumps for Allowable Operation Region.

The electrical input power to the motor.

1.2.5

Suction conditions

The power delivered to the pump shaft at the driver to


pump coupling. It is also called brake horsepower.

1.2.5.1

Submerged suction

A submerged suction exists when the centerline of the


pump inlet is below the level of the liquid in the supply
tank.
1.2.5.2

Static suction lift (Is)

Static suction lift is a hydraulic pressure below atmospheric at the intake port of the pump.

1.2.6.1

Electric motor input power (P mot )

that is, the ratio of the water horsepower to the power


input to the primary driver expressed in percent.

1.2.6.6 High-energy pump

graphically represented. This definition, as represented in Figures 1.45 and 1.46, shows that high-energy
pumps can be of low specific speed design, with relatively high total head, or of high specific speed design,
with relatively low total head. The curve separating
"low" and "high" energy pumps is of nearly constant
energy level. It is not a definitive separating line, but
rather a broad band and pumps falling close to this line
- on either side ~ might be considered as low or high
energy.

High-energy pumps are defined as those above a certain energy level.

The following symbols, their definitions and units of


measure apply to the figures:

One parameter used in determining energy level is the


total head and the density (specific gravity) of the
pumped fluid. The other parameter is pump specific
speed, which defines pump and impeller geometry in
relative terms. Specific speed is used in conjunction
with developed head and specific gravity to effectively
define "high energy," while avoiding the many variables
involved in other specific design and application
parameters.

Total Head x S pump total head (per stage for multistage pumps) meters (feet) times specific gravity (S).

1.2.6.5 Pump efficiency (1lp)


This is the ratio of the energy imparted to the liquid by
the pump (P w) to the energy delivered to the pump
shaft (P p) expressed in percent.

By using these terms and relating them to general


PUIlJP operating experience, a measure of "high
energy" versus "low energy" pumps is defined and

1.2.7.1

High-energy versus low-energy pumps (US units)

Pump pressures
Working pressure (Pd)

The maximum discharge pressure that could occur in


the pump when it is operated at rated speed and suction pressure for the given application.

1.2.7.2 Maximum allowable casing working


pressure
This is the highest pressure at the specified pumping
temperature for which the pump casing is designed.
This pressure shall be equal to or greater than the
maximum discharge pressure. In the case of some
pumps (double suction, vertical turbine, axial split case
can pumps, or multistage, for example), the maximum
allowable casing working pressure on the suction side
may be different from that on the discharge side.

1.2.7.3

Maximum suction pressure

The highest suction pressure to which the pump will


be subjected during operation.

60

1.2.7.4

Field test pressure

The maximum hydrostatic test pressure to be used for


leak testing a closed pumping system in the field if the
pumps are not isolated. Generally this is taken as
125% of the maximum allowable casing working pressure. In cases where mechanical seals are used, this
pressure may be limited by the pressure-containing
capabilities of the seal.
NOTE: See Section 1.2.7.2 Maximum allowable
casing working pressure. Consideration of which
may limit the field test pressure of the pump to
125% of the maximum allowable casing working
pressure on the suction side of double suction split
case pumps and certain other pump types.
