PSM Basic Training, a public-facing version of the Hydraulic Institute’s pumping-oriented training, is intended to inform prospective and new personnel about pumps, components, pump systems and other relevant topics with pre-recorded webinar modules and white papers.

In an effort to improve the accuracy of pump standards’ nomenclature, the Hydraulic Institute published new national standards combining its 1-series and 2-series standards into a single 14-series standards. Historically, HI standards have been divided into “1-series” standards — covering centrifugal pumps — and “2-series” standards — covering vertical pumps.

Because pumping systems account for more than 40 percent of industrial energy usage, the Hydraulic Institute developed the pumps systems assessment professionals (PSAP) certification program to provide pump end-users and other stakeholders with a way to assess complicated systems with highly qualified, certified pump system assessors.

The IX Series offers a maximum capacity of 80 gal/hr (300 l/hr) and a pressure rating up to 150 psi (10 bar).
