The
Hydraulic Institute introduces member company, Xylem Applied Water System, as
the latest company to have their pump test laboratories approved through the HI
Pump Test Lab Approval Program. The approved pump test labs, Xylem Seneca Falls
Research and Development Lab is located at 2881 East Bayard St. Seneca Falls,
NY and Xylem Morton Grove Research and Development Lab is located at 8200 N.
Austin Ave. Morton Grove, IL.
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. “The Hydraulic Institute Pump Test Lap
Approval certification of our Xylem facilities in Morton Grove, Illinois, and
Seneca Falls, New York, validates our work in developing highly efficient
products and solutions for both the commercial and residential markets,” said
Chris Johnson, Director of New Product Development and Engineering, Xylem Inc.
