Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 9906 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 115, Pumps, Subcommittee SC 2, Methods of
measurement and testing.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 9906:1999), which has been technically revised.

Introduction
The tests in this International Standard are intended to ascertain the performance of the pump and to compare
this with the manufacturer’s guarantee.
The nominated guarantee for any quantity is deemed to have been met if, where tested according to this International
Standard, the measured performance falls within the tolerance specified for the particular quantity (see 4.4).

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 9906:2012(E)
Rotodynamic pumps — Hydraulic performance acceptance
tests — Grades 1, 2 and 3
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies hydraulic performance tests for customers’ acceptance of rotodynamic
pumps (centrifugal, mixed flow and axial pumps, hereinafter “pumps”).
This International Standard is intended to be used for pump acceptance testing at pump test facilities, such as
manufacturers’ pump test facilities or laboratories.
It can be applied to pumps of any size and to any pumped liquids which behave as clean, cold water.
This International Standard specifies three levels of acceptance:
— grades 1B, 1E and 1U with tighter tolerance;
— grades 2B and 2U with broader tolerance;
— grade 3B with even broader tolerance.
This International Standard applies either to a pump itself without any fittings or to a combination of a pump
associated with all or part of its upstream and/or downstream fittings.

3 Terms, definitions, symbols and subscripts
3.1 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms, definitions, quantities and symbols given in ISO 17769-1 and
17769-2 and the following apply.
NOTE 1 Table 1 gives an alphabetical list of the symbols used and Table 2 gives a list of subscripts; see 3.3.
NOTE 2 All formulae are given in coherent SI units. For conversion of other units to SI units, see Annex I.
3.1.1 General terms
NOTE All of the types of test in 3.1.1 apply to guarantee point to fulfil the customer’s specification(s).
3.1.1.1
guarantee point
flow/head (Q/H) point, which a tested pump shall meet, within the tolerances of the agreed acceptance class

3.1.1.2
factory performance test
pump test performed to verify the initial performance of new pumps as well as checking for repeatability of
production units, accuracy of impeller trim calculations, performance with special materials, etc.
NOTE A typical performance test consists of the measurement of flow, head and power input to the pump or pump
test motor. Additional measurements, such as NPSH, may be included as agreed upon. A factory test is understood to
mean testing at a dedicated test facility, often at a pump manufacturer’s plant or at an independent pump test facility.
3.1.1.3
non-witnessed pump test
3.1.1.3.1
factory test
test performed without the presence of a purchaser’s representative, in which the pump manufacturer is
responsible for the data collection and judgement of pump acceptance
NOTE The advantage of this test is cost savings and accelerated pump delivery to the pump user. In many cases, if
the purchaser is familiar with the performance of the pump (e.g. identical pump model order), a factory non-witnessed test
may be acceptable.
3.1.1.3.2
signed factory test
test performed without the presence of a purchaser’s representative, in which the pump manufacturer is
responsible for compliance with the parameters of the agreed acceptance class
NOTE The pump manufacturer conducts the test, passes judgement of pump acceptance and produces a signed
pump test document. The advantage of this test is the same as seen on the non-witnessed test. Compared to a witnessed
test, this test is substantially less expensive and often leads to accelerated pump delivery to the end user.
3.1.1.4
witnessed pump test
NOTE The witnessing of a pump test by a representative of the pump purchaser can serve many useful functions.
There are various ways of witnessing a test.
3.1.1.4.1
witnessing by the purchaser’s representative
testing physically attended by a representative of the purchaser, who signs off on the raw test data to certify
that the test is performed satisfactorily
NOTE It is possible for final acceptance of the pump performance to be determined by the witness. The benefit of
witness testing depends largely on the effectiveness and expertise of the witness. A witness cannot only ensure the test
is conducted properly, but also observes operation of the pump during testing prior to pump shipment to the job site. A
disadvantage of witness testing can be extended delivery times and excessive cost. With just-in-time manufacturing
methods, the scheduling of witness testing requires flexibility on the part of the witness and can lead to additional costs if
the schedule of the witness causes delays in manufacturing.
3.1.1.4.2
remote witnessing by the purchaser’s representative
pump performance testing witnessed from a distance by the purchaser or his/her representative
NOTE With a remote camera system, the purchaser can monitor the entire testing remotely in real-time. The raw
data, as recorded by the data acquisition system, can be viewed and analysed during the test, and the results can be
discussed and submitted for approval. The advantages of this type of testing are savings in travel costs and accelerated
pump delivery.
