1、Designation: F1607 95 (Reapproved 2013)Standard Guide forReporting of Test Performance Data for Oil Spill ResponsePumps1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1607; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the
2、year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () 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 pumpsys
3、tems 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 mathematicalco
4、nversions to inch-pound units that are provided for informa-tion only and are not considered standard.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 he
5、alth practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

6、trolled Environments3. Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 oil spill response pumpdevices used to transfer oil,oil and water mixtures, and emulsions. These include centrifu-gal pumps, positive displacement pumps, vacuum pumps, andother systems.3.1.2 pump systemthe pri
7、ncipal fluid moving device, in-cluding the prime mover, associated hose and fittings, andassociated equipment such as debris handling devices that arenormally used during oil spill response operations.4. Significance and Use4.1 The performance criteria listed in this guide will provideguidance in th
8、e selection of oil spill pumping equipment.4.2 This guide has been developed for use by the following:manufacturers of pumping systems who wish to establish acommon means of evaluating and reporting the performancecharacteristics of their products; and existing or potential usersof pumping systems w
9、ho wish to compare the performancecharacteristics of various products.5. Test Fluids: Suggested 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 theintend
10、ed range of operation. It is recommended that the testfluids include one selection from each of 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 F631), namely,200,
11、2000, and 60 000 cSt.5.2 For the tests described in 6.3 6.6, use hydrocarbon-based single-viscosity 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.
12、 Note that, whenusing high-viscosity fluids, care must be taken in interpretingthe test results due to two-phase flow considerations. The testfluid viscosity should be identified by measurements at shearrates of 1, 10, and 50 s1(Test Method D2196).6. Categories of Tests for Pump Performance6.1 Sucti
13、on and Discharge HosesEach of the followingtests (6.3 6.5) should be conducted using suction anddischarge hoses that are the same diameter as the respectivepump inlet and discharge fittings.1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F20 on HazardousSubstances and Oil Spill Responseand i
