Description

This is a course on “Hydraulic Performance Acceptance Testing of Centrifugal Pumps – API 610 – according to the 12th edition”. According to the API standard 610 the hydraulic performance testing of all pumps is required to be carried out. The testing of the pumps must comply with the requirements of ANSI/HI 14.6 and ISO 9906 besides meeting certain additional requirements as stated in this API standard. The course covers the additional testing requirements in detail and provides clear guidelines on:

How to conduct the pump performance test,
The testbed layout and related requirements,
Measurement uncertainty, the instrumentation and its accuracy classes,
How to capture and interpret the test results?
How to settle non-conformities and variances with respect to the stipulations of the standard and terms of agreement between the customer and the supplier.

Objective

The participants will be able to have a complete understanding of pump performance test requirements as laid down in API standard 610 – 12th edition. They will be able to design a suitable performance test protocol according to the specific application. They will also be able to guide, approve and/or supervise the factory performance test, accept or otherwise the performance test results, and adjudicate the exceptions, if any, with respect to the contract requirements, the standard and/or test procedure.

Target Audience

Manager, engineers, and quality inspectors in general industry, power plants, refineries and oil and gas sector following the API standards for centrifugal pumps, and dealing with:
Process design and process engineering,
Inspections and approvals,
Installation and commissioning,
Reliability engineering and asset management.
Pumps and pumping system manufacturers following API standard and responsible for:
Centrifugal pump testing facilities, and
Developing testing software and protocols,
Those planning and conducting third party inspections for API pumps

Level of Course

Performance testing of pumps is an advanced level course suitable for industries following the API standards for compliance. To fully understand this course, it is important to be conversant with the performance testing requirements of ANSI/HI 14.6 and/or ISO 9906 and vibration measurement requirements given under 6.9 Dynamics of API standard 610. In addition to the testing requirements given in the two standards mentioned above, additional requirements of API 610 must be fulfilled as well. As such to cover the full scope of performance testing it is imperative to be conversant with all the above-referred standards and applicable clauses therein.

Learning Objectives

The students will have an advanced level course suitable for industries following the API standards for compliance.

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

Completely understand the setup, test conditions and measured parameters as required in this standard vis-à-vis the pump performance testing,
Prepare precise and accurate specifications for new applications or revisit existing ones,
Compare and analyze different testing options from different manufacturers,
Supervise the performance testing according to the contract requirements, applicable standards, and testing procedures,
Decide/ approve the test results.
