Testing & NDT
All B Series pumps are built to stringent quality control procedures as part of our ISO9001:2000 quality management system. We offer a variety of tests and NDT to suit your exact requirements as detailed below:
| Pump test | Test standard | Acceptance criteria | Standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydrostatic | API 610 / ISO 13709 | API 610 / ISO 13709 (1.5 X MAWP) | YES |
| Head and flow | API 610 / ISO 13709 | ISO 9906 Grade 1 | YES |
| Mechanical run - 1 hour at rated duty | API 610 / ISO 13709 | API 610 / ISO 13709 | |
| Mechanical run - 4 hours at rated duty | API 610 / ISO 13709 | API 610 / ISO 13709 | |
| NPSH at each test point | API 610 / ISO 13709 | API 610 / ISO 13709 | |
| Noise - single point at 1m | API 610 / ISO 13709 | Customer datasheet | YES |
| Vibration - FFT spectrum at each test point | API 610 / ISO 13709 | API 610 / ISO 13709 | YES |
| Bearing bracket resonance | API 610 / ISO 13709 | Mutual agreement |
To compliment the final test we also have a number of Non Destructive Tests (NDT) that can be supplied with the pump. The following table details our standard tests:
| Dyepenetrant of machined surfaces | Pressure containing castings only |
| Dyepenetrant of cast surfaces | Pressure containing castings only |
| Dyepenetrant of welds | Drain & seal pipework (if fitted) |
| Positive Material Identification | Excludes minor components (nuts & bolts etc) |
| Radiography | Welds (pressure pipework) |
| Castings - shot plan (critical areas) | |
| Hardness report | NACE (Certain materials only - please ask for details) |
| Various motor tests |
To find out more about what options are available download one of our technical specification datasheets (available in the Useful links & downloads menu to the left).
A full range of Pump testing and NDT can be tailored to suit your exact requirements.
* Pressure containing parts include; volute casing, Casing cover & mechanical seal. Process wetted parts include additional shaft, impeller, wear rings & impeller hub cap, lockwasher and nut.
