本标准涵盖了泵送系统，泵送系统定义为一个或多个泵，以及共同完成流体移动所需工作的相互作用或相互关联的元件。因此，泵送系统通常包括泵、驱动器、驱动器、分配管道、阀门、密封系统、控制装置、仪表和终端设备，例如热交换器。本标准涉及工业中通常使用的开环和闭环泵送系统，也适用于其他应用。本标准规定了进行和报告泵送系统评估（以下简称评估）结果的要求，该评估考虑了整个泵送系统，从能量输入到这些输入所完成的工作。 符合本标准的评估无需针对工业设施内同等重量的每个单独系统组件或子系统；然而，它必须足够全面，以确定提高系统整体能源性能的主要效率改进机会。本标准主要用于工业设施，但许多概念可用于其他设施，如机构、商业、供水和废水设施。

This Standard covers pumping systems, which are defined as one or more pumps and those interacting or interrelating elements that together accomplish the desired work of moving a fluid. A pumping system thus generally includes pump(s), driver, drives, distribution piping, valves, sealing systems, controls, instrumentation, and end use equipment such as heat exchangers, for example. This standard addresses open and closed loop pumping systems typically used in industry, and is also applicable to other applications.This Standard sets the requirements for conducting and reporting the results of a pumping system assessment (hereafter referenced as an assessment) that considers the entire pumping system, from energy inputs to the work performed as the result of these inputs. An assessment complying with this standard need not address each individual system component or subsystem within an industrial facility with equal weight; however, it must be sufficiently comprehensive to identify the major efficiency improvement opportunities for improving the overall energy performance of the system. This standard is designed to be applied primarily at industrial facilities, but many of the concepts can be used in other facilities such as those in the institutional, commercial, and water and wastewater facilities.
