这一有用的标准已于2013年进行了更新和改写，适用于泵行业的所有人以及任何希望了解旋转动力泵的人。本标准旨在识别和识别最常见行业中使用的旋转动力泵的应用要求、主要特征和必要的预防措施。最常见的是，使用的三种旋转动力泵，以及本标准中重点关注的泵类型，是离心泵、混流泵和轴流泵。本标准还涵盖了所有工业/商业类型的旋转动力离心泵、蓄热式涡轮泵和皮托管泵的设计和应用，立式单级和多级扩散器泵除外。 本标准主要根据常见的独特机械配置对泵进行分类，即轴承之间的悬臂式和垂直悬挂式。本标准还包括有关叶轮类型、壳体结构和机械特性的变化，以及这些变化如何影响性能的信息。

This useful standard has been updated and rewritten in 2013 for everyone in the pump industry and anyone looking to learn about rotodynamic pumps. The standard has been written to recognize and identify the application requirements, principal features, and necessary precautions of rotodynamic pumps used in the most common industry segments. Most commonly, the three types of rotdynamic pumps used, and the pump types focused on in this standard, are centrifugal, mixed flow and axial flow pumps.The standard has also been created to cover the design and application of rotodynamic centrifugal, regenerative turbine, and Pitot tube pumps of all industrial/commercial types, except vertical single and multistage diffuser pump types. This standard classifies pumps based primarily on commonly distinctive mechanical configurations, namely overhung, between-bearings and vertically suspended. Also included in the standard is information concerning variances in impeller types, casing configuration, and mechanical features, as well as how these variances affect performance.
