Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the
American requirements for due process, consensus and other criteria for approval have been met
National by the standards developer.
Standard Consensus is established when, in the judgement of the ANSI Board of Standards
Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected
interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not nec-
essarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered,
and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution.
The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does
not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not,
from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or proce-
dures not conforming to the standards.
The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no
circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no
person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American
National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests
for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name
appears on the title page of this standard.
CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at

any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that
action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard. Purchasers of
American National Standards may receive current information on all standards by call-
ing or writing the American National Standards Institute.

Foreword (Not part of Standard)
Purpose and aims of the Hydraulic Institute

The purpose and aims of the Institute are to promote the continued growth and
well-being of pump manufacturers and further the interests of the public in such
matters as are involved in manufacturing, engineering, distribution, safety, trans-
portation and other problems of the industry, and to this end, among other things:
a) To develop and publish standards for pumps;
b) To collect and disseminate information of value to its members and to the
public;
c) To appear for its members before governmental departments and agencies
and other bodies in regard to matters affecting the industry;
d) To increase the amount and to improve the quality of pump service to the public;
e) To support educational and research activities;
f) To promote the business interests of its members but not to engage in busi-
ness of the kind ordinarily carried on for profit or to perform particular services
for its members or individual persons as distinguished from activities to
improve the business conditions and lawful interests of all of its members.
Purpose of Standards
1) Hydraulic Institute Standards are adopted in the public interest and are
designed to help eliminate misunderstandings between the manufacturer,
the purchaser and/or the user and to assist the purchaser in selecting and
obtaining the proper product for a particular need.
2) Use of Hydraulic Institute Standards is completely voluntary. Existence of
Hydraulic Institute Standards does not in any respect preclude a member
from manufacturing or selling products not conforming to the Standards.
Definition of a Standard of the Hydraulic Institute

Quoting from Article XV, Standards, of the By-Laws of the Institute, Section B:
“An Institute Standard defines the product, material, process or procedure with
reference to one or more of the following: nomenclature, composition, construc-
tion, dimensions, tolerances, safety, operating characteristics, performance, qual-
ity, rating, testing and service for which designed.”
Comments from users

Comments from users of this Standard will be appreciated, to help the Hydraulic
Institute prepare even more useful future editions. Questions arising from the con-
tent of this Standard may be directed to the Hydraulic Institute. It will direct all
such questions to the appropriate technical committee for provision of a suitable
answer.
If a dispute arises regarding contents of an Institute publication or an answer pro-
vided by the Institute to a question such as indicated above, the point in question
shall be referred to the Executive Committee of the Hydraulic Institute, which then
shall act as a Board of Appeals.
vii
Revisions
The Standards of the Hydraulic Institute are subject to constant review, and revi-
sions are undertaken whenever it is found necessary because of new develop-
ments and progress in the art. If no revisions are made for five years, the
standards are reaffirmed using the ANSI canvass procedure.
Units of Measurement
US Customary units of measurement are predominantly used. Due to the refer-
ence to ANSI/ASME B73 standards for pump dimensions conversion to Metric
units was inappropriate.
Consensus for this standard was achieved by use of the Canvass

Method
The following organizations, recognized as having an interest in the standardiza-
tion of centrifugal pumps were contacted prior to the approval of this revision of
the standard. Inclusion in this list does not necessarily imply that the organization
concurred with the submittal of the proposed standard to ANSI.

B16.5 corresponding to a temperature other than that
of the contained liquid is the responsibility of the user,
subject to the requirements of the applicable code or
regulation.

The temperature shown for a corresponding allowable

nozzle load is the temperature of the pressure-con-
taining components of the pump. In general, this tem-
perature is the same as that of the contained liquid.
Use of a pressure rating as specified in ANSI/ASME

This appendix is not part of Hydraulic Institute Standard 9.6.2 and is included for information purposes only.
EXAMPLE 1: An ASME B73.1M 1.5x1-8 CF8M (Type 316) pump with Class 150 flanges is to be operated at 100°F.
It is mounted on a fully grouted metal baseplate held down by anchor bolts.
Applied nozzle loads:
Fx, suction = 100 lb. Fx, discharge = 100 lb.

Fy, suction = –100 lb. Fy, discharge = –100 lb.
Fz, suction = 100 lb. Fz, discharge = 100 lb.
Mx, suction = –100 ft-lb. Mx, discharge = –100 ft-lb.
My, suction = 100 ft-lb. My, discharge = 100 ft-lb.

The applied loads are compared to the allowable loads below.

On comparing temperature and material parameters with the scope of this standard, it is found that this is
an applicable scenario. Since CF8M is the material, and temperature of operation is less than 100°F, no
adjustment of the allowable table loads is necessary. Also, since the unit is mounted on a fully grouted
metal baseplate with anchor bolts, no adjustment of the allowable table loads is necessary.

must be reduced and reevaluated until this summation is less than or equal to 1.0 before proceeding to the
next step.

The results from Equation Sets 3 and 4 are evaluated with the Equation Set 5 below.
a 2 + b 2 ≤ 1.0

From the above evaluation, the summation is less than 1.0, evaluation complete. New loading scenario is
satisfactory.
EXAMPLE 2: An ASME-B73.1M 3x1.5-13 Alloy 20 pump with Class 300 flanges is to be operated at 400°F. It is
mounted on a fully grouted metal baseplate held down by anchor bolts.

1) Derating Loads
Upon comparing operating temperature and material parameters with the scope of this standard, it is found
that this is an applicable scenario. Since Alloy 20 is the material and operation is occurring at 400°F, an
adjustment of Table 9.6.2.1.2 loads is necessary. No adjustment for mounting is necessary since the unit is
on a fully grouted metal baseplate with anchor bolts.
Using Table 9.6.2.1.6, a derating value of 0.67 is found under Alloy 20 at 400°F. Derate the values in Table
9.6.2.1.2 as shown below.
Line in Table 9.6.2.1.2 before derating:

If any value in the derated line of Table 9.6.2.1.2 is lower than the corresponding value in Table 9.6.2.1.1,
use the absolute value of the lower absolute value of the two when evaluating Equation Set 1. In this case,
Fxs, Fys, Mys, Mzs, Fxd, Fyd, Mxd, Myd, Mzd are all less in Table 9.6.2.1.2 than in Table 9.6.2.1.1 and the
25
lower values should replace the corresponding values in Table 9.6.2.1.1. The new line in Table 9.6.2.1.1 is
as below.

The results from Equation Set 3 and 4 are evaluated with Equation Set 5 below.

From the above evaluation, the summation is less than 1.0, evaluation complete. Loading scenario is

EXAMPLE 3: An ASME B73.5M 1.5x1-8 pump having a material with a modulus of elasticity greater than 1.0 ×106
is to be operated at 110°F. It is mounted on a fully grouted nonmetal baseplate.

Fy, suction = 0 lb. Fy, discharge = 0 lb.
The applied loads are compared to the allowable loads as follows:
1) Derating Loads
that this is an applicable scenario. An adjustment must be made to the allowable load tables due to the fol-
lowing reasons:
• ASME B73.5M design and construction
• Fully grouted nonmetal baseplate with anchor bolts
The lower of the two derating values is to be used for derating Tables 9.6.2.1.1 – 9.6.2.1.4. Referring to
Section 9.6.2.1.6, a derating value of 0.9 is to be used on Tables 9.6.2.1.1 – 9.6.2.1.4 for all pumps with
ASME B73.5M construction. Referring to Section 9.6.2.1.7.1.3, a derating value of 0.8 is to be used on
Tables 9.6.2.1.1 – 9.6.2.1.4 when using fully grouted, nonmetal baseplates. Using the lower of the two val-
ues, Tables 9.6.2.1.1 – 9.6.2.1.4 must be multiplied by 0.8.
