This standard establishes the minimum requirements for horizontal centrifugal pumps and vertical line-shaft pumps intended for installation in wells, water treatment plants, water transmission systems, and water distribution systems. It covers essential design, performance, and safety considerations, ensuring the proper functioning and reliability of these pumps in various water applications.

Horizontal centrifugal pumps are designed to transmit water or other fluids through a cylindrical casing by using centrifugal force. These pumps are commonly used in a wide range of industries, including oil and gas, power generation, chemical processing, and water treatment. Vertical line-shaft pumps, on the other hand, are designed to lift water or other fluids from a lower level to a higher elevation using a vertical shaft and a series of impellers or vanes. These pumps are commonly used in water distribution systems, sewage treatment plants, and industrial processes.

The standard includes provisions for the design, materials, dimensions, and performance of both horizontal centrifugal pumps and vertical line-shaft pumps. It specifies the maximum operating pressure, flow rate, and efficiency requirements for these pumps, as well as the safety features and precautions that must be taken during installation, operation, and maintenance.

In addition to the technical requirements, the standard also emphasizes the importance of proper installation, commissioning, and maintenance of pumps. It recommends the use of qualified personnel, regular inspection and testing, and proper maintenance procedures to ensure the long-term performance and reliability of pumps.

By establishing these minimum requirements, this standard aims to promote the safe and efficient use of horizontal centrifugal pumps and vertical line-shaft pumps in water applications. It provides a framework for manufacturers, installers, and users to ensure that these pumps are designed, manufactured, and installed in accordance with the highest standards of quality and safety.
