What is API 676

pumps according to API 676

API 676 is a standard established by the American Petroleum Institute (API) that defines the requirements for rotary positive displacement pumps used in the petrochemical, oil, and gas industries . This standard has been developed to ensure that pumps meet specific criteria for performance, safety, and reliability in industrial applications, where fluid handling is critical to the production process.

API 676 provides detailed specifications for rotary pumps, including progressive cavity pumps, which are commonly employed in the petrochemical industry for the transfer of viscous and abrasive fluids. This standard establishes requirements regarding materials, construction, design, testing, and pump performance, to ensure they can operate safely and efficiently in demanding industrial environments.

For companies operating in the petrochemical, oil, and gas sectors, compliance with API 676 is crucial to ensure that pumps used meet the quality and safety standards required by the industry. Pumps compliant with API 676 offer reliable performance, reduce the risk of failures and malfunctions, and contribute to the overall safety and efficiency of industrial operations.
