1、Designation: F 1607 95 (Reapproved 2003)Standard Guide forReporting of Test Performance Data for Oil Spill ResponsePumps1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 1607; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, th
2、e year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide is intended as a guideline for the standard-ized reporting of performance data of pumps and pump
3、systems that may be considered for use in oil spill responseoperations. The present objective is to develop a reportingguideline to aid in the comparative evaluation of variousdevices.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informa
4、tiononly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Ref

Test Fluids: Suggested
9、 Test Fluid Viscosities5.1 A selection of test fluids from the following viscosityranges is recommended and should include an adequate num-ber of data points to display the pumps performance over theintended range of operation. It is recommended that the testfluids include one selection from each of
10、 the four ranges listedin Table 1, depending on the intended service of the pump. Inparticular, three viscosity targets are recommended to allowcomparisons with skimmer test data (Guide F 631), namely,200, 2000, and 60 000 cSt.5.2 For the tests described in 6.3-6.6, use hydrocarbon-based single-visc
11、osity oils or mixtures of high- and low-viscosity hydrocarbons, or both, at various temperatures toachieve test viscosities. Higher viscosities, such as those inCategory 4, may require the use of emulsions. Note that, whenusing high-viscosity fluids, care must be taken in interpretingthe test result
12、s due to two-phase flow considerations. The testfluid viscosity should be identified by measurements at shearrates of 1, 10, and 50 s1(Test Method D 2196).6. Categories of Tests for Pump Performance6.1 Suction and Discharge HosesEach of the followingtests (6.3-6.5) should be conducted using suction
13、and dischargehoses that are the same diameter as the respective pump inletand discharge fittings.6.2 Equipment SpecificationsFor each of the followingperformance tests, report the equipment specifications, includ-ing the following: pump model; prime mover model; prime1This guide is under the jurisdi
