The standard classifies pumps into three major categories based on their configuration:
The (currently in its 12th Edition, released January 2021) is the global benchmark for centrifugal pumps used in the petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas industries . It establishes minimum requirements for pump design, materials, and testing to ensure maximum safety and reliability in critical process services. Core Content of API 610 Api 610 Standard Download
: A minimum gauge pressure rating of 4,000 kPa (600 psi) at 38°C is generally required for pressure casings. The standard classifies pumps into three major categories
: Features pumps like the BB1 (axially split) and BB5 (double-casing barrel), typically used for high-pressure or high-temperature applications. : Features pumps like the BB1 (axially split)
: Rotating components must be balanced to ISO 1940-1 grade G2.5.
To ensure a service life of at least 20 years and 3 years of uninterrupted operation, the standard mandates:
