The
Hydraulic Institute introduces member company, Flowserve Corporation, as the
latest company to have their pump test laboratory approved through the HI Pump
Test Lab Approval Program. The approved pump test lab is located at 5310
Taneytown Pike Taneytown, MD 21787.
The
HI program assists pump OEMs and other pump test laboratories improve their
current laboratory procedures and policies by working with an experienced
third-party auditor to develop and maintain accurate, uniform and repeatable
pump testing protocols. The program also helps participating organizations
adhere to the requirements of the international test
laboratory accreditation standard (ISO 17025) concerning test measurement
equipment.
As the DOE requires
increased efficiencies for commercial and industrial pumps, a manufacturer's
ability to demonstrate accurate pump performance will be an important part of
compliance. Performing these tests in a lab that not only applies the industry
standard (HI 40.7) but also stands up to an independent third party audit will
build confidence in the market that the stated efficiencies will be achieved.
The
pump test lab approval program is HI's latest program designed to support the
DOE's energy saving initiatives. Flowserve Taneytown is very proud to have achieved this Hydraulic
Institute certification, which ensures an extremely high level of testing
consistency within our industry,” said Chris Heacock, Director/General Manager,
Flowserve Taneytown. “We serve an international client base that does business
in multiple markets, and our customers have very specific requirements. We
believe this accreditation showcases the advanced technical capabilities of our
test facility and demonstrates Flowserve’s continued commitment to leading the
industry when it comes to welcoming high standards for testing
