The American Petroleum Institute (API) is the main U.S Trade Association for the oil and natural gas industry, representing about 400 corporations involved in production, refinement, distribution, and many other aspects of the petroleum industry. The development of technical standards and guidelines are the most important fields of the API. The influence of API standards extends far beyond the borders of the United States.

• Api 610 Standard Pdf

API 610 is the centrifugal pump standard put forward by API. Considering the demanding nature of oil and gas applications, API 610 is a necessarily stringent standard, and pumps manufactured according to API 610 consistently cost considerably more than those manufactured to meet Hydraulic Institute Standards.

Each publication is overseen by a committee of leading industry professionals. API's publications are developed by member company engineers and other professionals. The most important API standard for KSB products is API 610, which is the specification for centrifugal pumps, and API 685, which is the specification for sealless, canned motor and magnet drive pumps.

SalTec API 610 11.ed. Currently valid the 11th edition of the API 610 (which published in December 2009).

The most important changes for our products are the new bearing life time has to be at minimum 40,000 hours as well as the minimum motor power of 4kW. Although smaller motors could be suitable for low flows/heads, this selection would not be consistent to the API standard. Application of API Pumps API pumps are used in refineries, petrochemical and chemical industry, power stations as well as in seawater desalination system (RO).
