The Hydraulic Institute (HI, www.pumps.org), under the approval of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI, www.ansi.org), is seeking qualified individuals in North America to participate in the review process for the draft of updated standard ANSI/HI 2.4, Rotodynamic (Vertical) Pumps for Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manuals.
The committee limited its activity to Rotodynamic (Vertical) Pumps, including the following:

Individuals and organizations in North America directly and materially affected by this standard are asked to contact HI. These parties include pump users and specifiers, producers, standards developers, government agencies, and general interest groups. HI is currently assembling a canvass list of all parties interested in reviewing the draft. This list will be submitted to ANSI in order to meet its open canvass requirements.
