The API and ISO standards that govern process-pump design, materials, testing and reliability — including API 610, API 682, API 674/675/676 and the ISO 5199 / 9905 / 9906 families. For each standard this reference gives its scope, the pump types it applies to, the key requirements and the edition, so you can specify and audit pumps against the right code.
Pump standards exist so that buyers, designers and manufacturers share one definition of what a compliant pump must do — its minimum design life, materials, testing, documentation and reliability. Specifying to the correct standard removes ambiguity from procurement and gives a defensible basis for inspection and acceptance.
In refining, petrochemical and upstream oil & gas, API 610 (centrifugal) and API 682 (shaft sealing systems) are the governing documents, with API 674/675/676 covering reciprocating, controlled-volume metering and rotary pumps. For chemical, water and general industry the ISO family applies — ISO 5199 and ISO 2858 for chemical-process pumps, ISO 9905/9908 for technical specifications by duty class, and ISO 9906 for hydraulic performance acceptance testing. The reference below sets out each standard’s scope, the pump types it covers, its key requirements and edition year so you can match the right code to the project and audit a vendor’s offering against it.
