FOREWORD

This Indian standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Pumps Sectional Committee had been approved by the Heavy Mechanical Engineering Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1977. Since then 2 amendments were issued in 1980,and 1987 respectively.

The present revision has been taken up to align the method of verification of guarantee with the other pump
standard like IS 9079, IS 8034 and IS 6595. Also the requirements of self miming characteristics in case of self-
priming and semi-self-priming pumps have been incorporated.

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 :
1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)‘. The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
