Difference between API 610 and ANSI B73.1 Crude oil transfer pump.

[Abhi1712]

Hello Everybody,

What is technical Difference between API 610 and ANSI B73.1 Crude oil transfer pump? I understand API 610 pumps are more costly compare to ANSI B73.1 pump.

Can we add ANSI B73.1 in crude oil refinery system where other pumps are API610? Please find attached document.

If it is your refinery, you can decide whether or not you accept ANSI B73.1 standard instead of API 610. If you are a supplier, ask your customer. He decides, regardless what the difference between the standards is.
