Vacuum Pump Standards Summary
With the development of vacuum pump technology and its wide range of practical applications, standards for vacuum pumps have been established at various levels in the world. International standards, national standards and various standards of vacuum pump industry are related to the use and performance of vacuum pumps. This article sums up the standards of vacuum pumps in the world, including international, national and other standards.
International Standards
ISO 7269
The ISO 7269 standard describes the procedure and precision of vacuum measurements with a vacuum gauge. The main content includes such aspects as the medium used in vacuum gauges, the technical requirements for vacuum gauges, the method for installation and inspection of vacuum gauges, the limit error of vacuum gauges, and the classification of the measurement results from vacuum gauges.
ISO 16232
This standard specifies the test procedure and requirements for measuring the performance of the pump. The main content includes the test procedures in a wide range of working conditions, the requirements for the performance parameters, the requirements for testing equipment, the test acceptance criteria, and the list of components for testing.
ISO 50121-4
This standard specifies principles and methods for assessing EMC performance of pump systems. The main content includes such aspects as the evaluation system of EMC performance, the operating conditions of pump systems, test procedures, evaluation and requirements of EMC performance of the pump systems, and the assessment and test report of the EMC performance.
ISO 13964
This standard describes the requirements and information to be verified for the pump data sheet, such as the definition and classification of the pump, technical parameters, procedures and methodology for testing, systems and flexibility of the pump, and product labeling.
National Standards
GB/T 33373-2016
This standard specifies the basic safety requirements, classification and technical parameters of the vacuum pumps. Its relevant to those mechanical vacuum pumps which are manufactured and used in China. This standard provides basic requirements for product design, technical specifications, test methods, identification and product marking for vacuum pumps.
GB 4698.2-2015
This standard is concerned with the sanitation part of the copper alloy-containing vacuum pumps for food industry use. It includes design requirements and other requirements for vacuum pumps such as product structure and material, working environment, safety performance, cleanliness and product hygienic markers.
Industry Standards
API 674
This international standard specifies the general structural design requirements and performance requirements of the positive displacement pumps which are used in crude oil, refinery and other process industries. The main contents include the design requirements, operating requirements, performance evaluation parameters, procedural requirements and special requirements for these positive displacement pumps.
API 675
This standard specifies the minimum requirements for the performance and testing of sanitary rotary positive displacement pumps. The main contents include the basic design requirements, performance requirements, special requirements, registration and record requirements, product identification and product quality document requirements.
DIN 24285
This German standard specifically stipulates the design, production, testing and delivery requirements for vacuum pumps. The main contents include selection and design, material selection, production, acceptance and inspection, cleaning, marking, packaging and delivery requirements for vacuum pumps.
Conclusion
This article summarizes the international, national and industry standards for vacuum pumps in the world. These standards provide basic requirements for vacuum pump design, production, testing, performance and product marking, which enhances the quality of vacuum pumps and ensures the safety of related products.
