Hydraulic Institute Invites North American Experts to Review Updated Air‑Operated Pump Standards

The Hydraulic Institute (HI), accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), is inviting qualified North American professionals to review the draft of two updated ANSI/HI standards: ANSI/HI 10.1‑10.5 – Air‑Operated Pumps for Nomenclature, Definitions, Application, and Operation and ANSI/HI 10.6 – Air‑Operated Pump Tests.

These standards cover positive‑displacement air‑operated pumps, including diaphragm, bellows, and piston pumps. The first document outlines terminology, design, installation, and maintenance, while the second establishes testing protocols—primarily conducted with water at ambient temperature—for diaphragm and bellows pumps.

• Diaphragm pumps
• Bellows pumps
• Piston pumps (included in the scope of 10.1‑10.5)

We are seeking input from individuals and organizations directly impacted by these standards—pump users, specifiers, manufacturers, standards developers, government agencies, and industry groups. Your expertise will help shape robust, industry‑relevant guidelines that benefit the entire pump community.

To join the canvass, please contact Karen Anderson, Technical Affairs Administrator, at kanderson@Pumps.org or call 973‑267‑9700, ext. 123.
