Contact the pump manufacturer. What means, "on service"?

1)Install a Differential Pressure gauge between suction and discharge
line. Head delivered of the pump is the Pressure difference between
those points. You monitor it. Normal pump would maintain a constant
DP (Head). If DP is lowering that means somethings wrong with your
pump. (Check the impeller, motor, bearings)

I suggest that you follow

1. the Pump manufacturers specifications

2009
3. check the RPM, intake & discharge pressure with the OEM
Location: UK pump curve

Posts: 314 and if the pump is still under the OEM warrantee, then ask
them for the EXACT specifications you need & if you are having
Good Answers: problems then get them to honour their contact commitment
to fix your problem (if you have one), if not covered by the

OEM then still ask for the details, pump curves etc.. so you can
compare you findings with that of the pump curve.

As for standards... that will depend on what type of pump you

have, who made it and what standard they made the pump
too! You can try API standards for pumps.. google it..

I guess you meant IN-SERVICE?

Pump manufacturer curves, flow meter and a current

probe are your best bet. supposing that the pump is
working normally.
