This much anticipated standard has been completely rewritten and reformatted for easier use and is essential for anyone who wants to learn more about rotodynamic pump design. The standard has been positioned to cover the design and application of rotodynamic (centrifugal, mixed flow, and axial types) pumps, regenerative turbines, and Pitot tube pumps of all industrial/commercial types, except vertical single and multistage diffuser pump types. Information on pump classification, impeller types, casing configurations, and mechanical features are included. Additional information on performance, selection criteria, and noise levels is included as well.

The 2009 version includes:

• First major reorganization of this standard in over a decade, with significant increase in content and graphics
• Enhanced family tree for all pump types noted in scope, including internationally recognized pump icons and designations
• Extensive explanation of methodology for calculation of axial and radial thrust
