This new standard for Rotodynamic (Centrifugal) Slurry Pumps for Nomencalture, Definitions, Applications and Operation addresses a long-standing challenge in the wastewater pump industy for development and acceptance of a test standard written specifically for slurry pumps. The scope of this new standard includes:
Slurry pump types
Types of slurries
Slurry limitations

The standard provides requirements for wet-end and bearing housing shaft seals, establishes allowable nozzle loads, and provides a data sheet that can be used by purchasers and vendors to exchange information.
