Description

This course is designed for centrifugal pump manufacturers, third party inspectors and end users of rotodynamic pumps in general industry, power plants, water supply, wastewater pumping – that is, users of pumps and pumping systems across the board. This course covers hydraulic performance acceptance test requirements and acceptance criteria for rotodynamic pumps. It explains the contents of the ANSI/HI Standard 14.6 and ISO 9906, intended for pump acceptance testing at pump manufacturers test facilities. These standards are applicable to all types of pumps using any pumping liquid which behaves like clean, cold water.

Objective

The participants will be able to understand the requirements of ANSI/HI standard 14.6 and ISO standard 9906. They will be able to decide which of the test conditions/ parameter should be specified for a given application. The participants will be able to judge if the requirements of the testing standards are met in the test layout, grant waivers or accept or reject non-conformities recorded in the testing process and review the testing results and shall be able to decide acceptance based on the guidelines given in the standards.

Target Audience

Engineers, Managers and professionals in general industry, power plants, refineries and oil and gas sector working in:

Process design and process engineering,
Quality Assurance, inspections, and approvals,
Operation and Maintenance and Reliability.

Pumps and pumping system manufacturers involved in:

Management and running of testing facilities,
Planning and conducting hydraulic performance testing along-with customer inspectors

Level of Course

This is an intermediate level course and covers the rules and procedures applicable for hydraulic performance testing of rotodynamic pumps according to guidelines given in ANSI/HI standard 14.6 and ISO standard 9906. The participants should have a general awareness related to pumps and pumping systems, the performance testing concept, and measurement principles. The course includes exercises and calculations, and as such this course is suitable for engineers and managers and technical professionals having field experience and good engineering background.

Learning Objectives

The students will have an intermediate knowledge of Hydraulic performance testing of rotodynamic pumps to ANSI/HI 14.6 and ISO 9906.

After you attend this course/workshop, you will be able to:

Formulate the pumping system testing requirements.
Specify details pertaining to the above selected requirements.
Understand and compare different proposals from different manufacturers based on relative merits.
Guide, supervise or approve the testing set-up against the customer specifications.
Approve the test results and settle the non-conformities, if these arise, vis-à-vis the test requirements.

Material(s) Required

Calculators or laptops
ASNI/HI 14.6 standard
ISO 9906 standard
