Development of a Standard High-Pressure Hydraulic Piston Pump Test: Status of ASTM D.02.N.07 Piston Pump Task Force Activities

Abstract

There is currently underway a project, which is being conducted by the ASTM D.02N.07 Piston Pump Task Force , to develop a standard high-pressure piston pump test and related pump testing protocol . Various pump tests are being considered including proposals submitted by Komatsu, Rexroth, Denison, Vickers and others . The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the importance and current status of this work and to outline future directions this work is likely to take.
