It is in the interest of regulators, engineers, architects, and system owners to find the most efficient paths to pump system solutions. The rising tide of standards plays a significant role in elevating the performance, reliability, and quality of pump systems — minimizing the trial and error it often takes to arrive at the solutions best suited for the application. However, some standards stand out for the magnitude of their impact. Three pump experts weigh in on the standards they believe have brought about the most significant or lasting changes in pump system design.
