One or two-stage pumps with bearings on both sides of the impellers. BB2 is split radially, optimized for high temperatures.

Axially split, multi-stage pumps designed for high-pressure water injection and oil transport pipelines. Api 610 13th Edition

API 610 13th Edition: The Next Evolution in Centrifugal Pump Standards

Rotors supported by bearings on both ends, commonly utilized for higher flows and pressures. | Category | 12th Edition (2021) | 13th

No API 610 pump leaves the factory without passing a series of rigorous tests.

The API 610 13th Edition, with drafting active as of late 2024, continues to establish stringent standards for centrifugal pumps in petroleum and natural gas industries, building upon the 12th Edition's focus on reliability and material optimization. Key updates involve specific requirements for floating applications, mandatory shaft guards, and stricter NPSH3 definitions, while maintaining core OH, BB, and VS classifications. For technical documentation, review the API 610 draft specifications. API 610 13th Edition: The Next Evolution in

These requirements collectively aim for minimal vibration and extended life, with the target of before requiring major service.

API 610 classifies pumps into three broad categories:

Shaft vibration, measured by proximity probes, is limited to for overall frequency, with discrete frequency limits set at 0.33 times the overall vibration level. The 13th Edition is expected to retain these limits while possibly adding further guidance on measurement procedures and acceptance criteria.
