API 610 Pump Type Classification PDF

The document classifies centrifugal pump types according to their configuration. It divides pumps into three main categories: overhung, between bearings, and vertically suspended. Within each category it lists specific pump types that vary based on design features such as orientation, casing type, speed, and whether they are single or multistage. Some pump types marked with an asterisk are not normally recommended by the API standard.
