What is ISO 14847 - Rotary positive displacement pumps about?
ISO 14847 is an international organisation for standardization that specifies the technical requirements, other than safety and testing, for rotary positive displacement pumps and rotary positive displacement pump units.
ISO 14847 addresses the pump design, auxiliary equipment, noise, installation, and maintenance. ISO 14847 does not apply to rotary positive displacement pumps for fluid power applications.
Who is ISO 14847 - Rotary positive displacement pumps for?
ISO 14847 on rotary positive displacement pumps is useful for:
- Inspection and maintenance officers
- Positive displacement pump and pump units manufacturers and suppliers
- The oil and gas industry
- The food industry
- The chemical industry
Why should you use ISO 14847 - Rotary positive displacement pumps?
Rotary positive displacement pumps involve rotating cogs or gears, rather than the backward and forward motion of reciprocating pumps are used to transport fluids. Positive displacement pumps are less capable than centrifugal pumps at handling low viscosity fluids. A rotary pump relies on the seal between its rotating parts and the pump casing to provide suction and prevent slippage and leaks. Rotary pumps are often used in engine rooms to pump high viscosity liquids like oil, such as lubricating oil and fuel oil. The type of spinning element they use is usually used to classify them.
ISO 14847 specifies all the technical requirements for rotary positive displacement pumps and rotary positive displacement pump units with the exception of safety and testing. ISO 14847 helps you with information and requirements to be confirmed, agreed and documented for the fitness for purpose of the equipment. Using ISO 14847 guidelines provides users with equipment that is high in quality, has a longer service life, instructions to enhance safety and protection, and adds to the efficiency of the workforce.
