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 nec-
essarily 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 proce-
dures 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CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at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 call-
ing 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, trans-
portation 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 busi-
ness 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, construc-
tion, dimensions, tolerances, safety, operating characteristics, performance, qual-
ity, 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 con-
tent 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 pro-
vided 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 revi-
sions are undertaken whenever it is found necessary because of new develop-
ments 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
Method
The following organizations, recognized as having an interest in the standardiza-
tion of centrifugal pumps were contacted prior to the approval of this revision of
the standard. Inclusion in this list does not necessarily imply that the organization
concurred with the submittal of the proposed standard to ANSI.

~ 1 Centrifugal pumps
1.1 Types and nomenclature
1.1.2 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 cen-
trifugal activity.
1.1.3 Types of kinetic pumps
1.1.1 Scope
Centrifugal pumps are most commonly typed by their
general mechanical configuration. The broadest char-
acteristics, which include virtually all centrifugal
pumps, are the following:
This Standard is for centrifugal and regenerative tur-
bine pumps of all industrial/commercial types except
vertical single and multistage diffuser types. It includes
types and nomenclature.

1.1.3.1 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 sep-
arately coupled, where the impeller is mounted on a
separate pump shaft supported by its own bearing.
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 trav-
els 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 characteris-
tic. Examples of these are:
a) Sewage pumps with nonclog impellers;
b) Abrasive pumps which may be made of hard met-
als 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:
2
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 c 1 a s s i ~
fies the pump impellers with respect to their geometric
similarity.
Specific speed is a number usually expressed as:
nQ5
NS=-
H75
Where:
NS = Pump specific speed;
n = Rotative speed in revolutions per minute;
Q = Rate of flow in m
3
/h (gpm) at optimum
efficiency;
H = 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 dis-
charge one m
3
/hr (gpm) against one meter (foot) head.
Specific speed is not strictly dimensionless as indi-
cated in Table 1.6, but those dimensions are not
shown for convenience.
Specific speed is indicative of the shape and charac-
teristics 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. ~

NOTE: Profiles of several pump impeller designs ranging from low specific speed radial flow on the left to a high specific
speed axial flow on the right. placed according to where each design fits on the specific speed scale.

Figure 1.3 - Radial flow pump
1.1.4.2 Suction specific speed
Suction specific speed is an index number for a centrif-
ugal pump similar. to discharge specific speed and is
used to define its suction characteristic. See HI 1.3-
2000 Section 1.3.4.1.15.
1.1.4.3 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).

vanes at the inlet.
1.1.4.5 Mixed flow
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 spe-
cific speed from 4900 to 10.500 (4200 to 9000) (see
Figure 1.4).

HI Centrifugal Pump Types and Nomenclature - 2000
1.1.4.6 Axial flow
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).

1.1.5 Construction drawings
The construction drawings on the following pages 0
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 specifica-
tion 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 excep-
tions however.
In cases where a pump may use two or more parts
that are of the same generic type but different geome-
tries (e.g., gaskets) this difference is indicated by the
addition of a letter suffix to the item number (e.g., 73A,
738, etc.).

t 1.1.6.1
General information
Size of centrifugal pumps
,
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.
1.1.6.2 Duplicate performance pump
A duplicate pump is one in which the performance
characteristics are the same as another within the vari-
ations 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 Dimensionally interchangeable pump
An interchangeable pump is one in which the mount-
ing dimensions are such that the replacement pump
can be mounted on the existing bedplate and match
existing piping and driver, with hydraulic characteris-
tics and materials to be specified. Interchangeability
may involve some variation, not necessarily significant,
as a result of manufacturing tolerances.
1.1.6.4 Identical performance and dimensional
pump
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 dimen-
sions and materials, it should be identified as "identical
with Pump No. __ ", not "duplicate."

gland(s), lantern ring(s), packing, deflector(s), oil
thrower(s), oil rings(s), bearings, bearing appurte-
nances, coupling, pulley or sheave. A bare rotor may
have to be disassembled for installation in the pump.
1.1.6.5.2.2 Rotating assembly
A rotating assembly shall consist of a bare rotor plus
the following (where used): casing ring(s), interstage
diaphragm(s) and bushing(s), diffuser(s), balancing
ring or bushing, bearings and all other stationary or
rotating parts required to be assembled over the shaft.
A rotating assembly shall include the following (where
used):
packing or mechanical seal and gland(s);
deflector( s);
oil thrower(s);
oiltring(s);
bearing cover(s).
It shall not include coupling, pulley, or sheave, nor shall
it include bearing housings except when these are of a
design that requires they be assembled prior to mount-
ing of the bearings.
1.1.6.6 Rotation of casing
The normal position of the discharge nozzle of an end
suction horizontal pump shall be top vertical. Optional
positions of the discharge nozzle shall be designated
by degrees of rotation, measured from the vertical
center line in the clockwise direction, facing the drive
end of the pump (see Figure 1.28).
1.1.6.7 Rotation of pumps
Pumps are designated as having clockwise (CW) or
counterclockwise (CCW) rotation when facing the
drive end (see Figures 1.28, 1.29 and 1.30).
To determine the rotation of a horizontal pump,. stand
at the driver end facing the pump (Figure 1.29). If the
top of the shaft revolves from the left to the right, the
rotation is clockwise (CW), and if the top of the shaft
26
revolves from right to left, the rotation is counterclock- .
wise (CCW). t

1.1.6.8 Recommended minimum spares
It is not possible to recommend minimum spares to
COver all conditions. However, the following may be
taken as a guide:
Domestic service handling clean, non-corrosive liquids
where interrupted service is not important:
shaft sleeves;
stuffing-box packing or mechanical seal;
gaskets;
coupling connectors (if any).
Domestic service handling abrasive or corrosive liq-
uids or where some interruption in continuity of service
is possible:
shaft sleeves;
bearings;
wearing rings or parts;
stuffing-box packing or mechanical seal;
HI Centrifugal Pump Types and Nomenclature - 2000

NOTES:
1. AH, EQ and ET dimensions measured with the shaft
pulled by hand away from the motor to the limit of end play.
2. AJ dimension - centerline of bolt holes is within 0.015
inch of true location for frames 143 to 256 JM and JP, inclu-
sive, and within 0.025 inch of true location for frames 284 to
365 JM and JP, inclusive. True location is defined as angu-
lar and diametrical location with reference to the centerline
of the AK dimension.
3. Shaft end play should not exceed the bearing internal
axial movement. Bearing mounting fits should be as rec-
ommended for pump application by the bearing manufac-
turer. (This note applies to open and totally enclosed
motors. For explosion-proof motors, the individual motor
manufacturer should be contacted.)

1.2 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.
1.2.1 Rate of flow (capacity)
The rate of flow of a pump is the total volume through-
put 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 Speed
The number of revolutions of the shaft in a given unit of
time. Speed is expressed as revolutions per minute.
1.2.3 Head
Head is the expression of the energy content of the liq-
uid 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 Gauge head (h
g
)
1 The energy of the liquid due to its pressure as deter-
mined by a pressure gauge or other pressure measur-
ing device.

PI!M' CENlERllNE
ANDDATIJMELEVAllON
HI Centrifugal Pump Definitions - 2000
1.2.3.2 Velocity head (hv)
The kinetic energy of the liquid at a given cross section.
Velocity head is expressed by the following equation:
v
2
h =-
v 2g
Where v is obtained by dividing the flow by the cross
section area at the point of gauge connection:
(Metric) v = 278 x Q
A
(US units) v = 0 . 3 2 ~ 5 x Q
1.2.3.3 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 mount-
ing, 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
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 submer-
gence (Zw). If the average velocity head of the flow in
the pit is small enough to be neglected, then:
Where:
Zw = Vertical distance in meters (feet) from free
water surface to datum
1.2.3.6 Total suction head (h
s
), closed suction
test
For closed suction installations, the pump suction noz-
zle 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 pres-
sure by an amount exceeding the sum of the elevation
head and the velocity head.
Overall unit
Pump
1.2.3.7 Total discharge head (h
d
)
The total discharge head (hd) is the sum of the dis-
charge 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:
1.2.3.8 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 appli-
cations 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 over-
come frictional resistance of a piping system to liquid
flow expressed in meters (feet) of liquid.

1.2.4 Condition points
1.2.4.1 Rated condition point
Rated condition applies to the rate of flow, head, net
positive suction head and speed of the pump, as spec-
ified by the order.
1.2.4.2 Specified condition point
Specified condition point is synonymous with rated
condition point.
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
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.
1.2.5 Suction conditions
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 atmo-
spheric at the intake port of the pump.
58
1.2.5.3 Net positive suction head available
(NPSHA) t
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 = 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
1.2.6.1 Electric motor input power (P
mot
)
The electrical input power to the motor.
1.2.6.2 Pump input power (Pp)
The power delivered to the pump shaft at the driver to
pump coupling. It is also called brake horsepower.
1.2.6.3 Pump output power (P
w
)
The power imparted to the liquid by the pump. It is also
called water horsepower.
. QxHxs
(Metric) P w = 366
. QxHxs
(US units) P w = 3960
1.2.6.4 Overall ~ f f i c i e n c y (lloA)
This is the ratio of the energy imparted to the liquid ,t
(Pw) by the pump to the energy supplied to the (P
mot
);
that is, the ratio of the water horsepower to the power
input to the primary driver expressed in percent.
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.
1.2.6.6 High-energy pump
High-energy pumps are defined as those above a cer-
tain energy level.
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.
By using these terms and relating them to general
PUIlJP operating experience, a measure of "high
energy" versus "low energy" pumps is defined and

graphically represented. This definition, as repre-
sented in Figures 1.45 and 1.46, shows that high-energy
pumps can be of low specific speed design, with rela-
tively 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.
The following symbols, their definitions and units of
measure apply to the figures:
Total Head x S = pump total head (per stage for multi-
stage pumps) meters (feet) times specific gravity (S).
Specific Speed = n( 0)0.5
(H)0.75

the total pump flow.

1.2.7 Pump pressures
1.2.7.1 Working pressure (Pd)
The maximum discharge pressure that could occur in
the pump when it is operated at rated speed and suc-
tion 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 pres-
sure. 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.
1.2.8 Impeller balancing
1.2.8.1 Single plane balancing (also called static
balancing)
Correction of residual unbalance to a specified maxi-
mum limit by removing or adding weight in one correc-
tion plane only. Can be accomplished statically using
balance rails or by spinning.
1.2.8.2 Two plane balancing (also called dynamic
f' balancing)
,
Correction of residual unbalance to a specified limit by
removing or adding weight in two correction planes,
Accomplished by spinning on appropriate balancing
machines.
