The
Hydraulic Institute introduces member company, Pentair Water Technologies 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 in
Delavan, Wisconsin.
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 Hydraulic Institute Pump Test Lab Approval certification
of our Pentair facilities in Delavan, Wisconsin validates our continued
commitment to a high level of competency and demonstrates our operational
effectiveness, as well as correctness and reliability of the tests performed
which translates into the ability to produce consistent and valid results.”
said Michael Michalek, Product Certification/Test Lab Manager”, Pentair Water Technologies.
