About This Item
TS EN 12723 is a terminology standard for liquid pumps and pump installations, covering the general terms, quantities, letter symbols and units used to describe liquid flow through these systems. Its focus is the shared technical language for rotodynamic and positive displacement liquid pumps, so that design, manufacture, operation and installation teams can work with the same meanings for the same symbols and quantities.
The document includes a definition of a liquid pump and identifies units in common usage. In general technical terms, this kind of standard supports consistent communication around flow rate, pressure, head and related operating quantities, which are the core measures used to compare pump systems and interpret technical data. It is especially useful where drawings, specifications and calculations must use the same vocabulary across different organisations.
Scope boundaries and technical context
The scope is system-level terminology for pumps and associated installations. It does not deal with terms, letter symbols or units for the component parts of rotodynamic and positive displacement pumps or their installations. That distinction matters because pump-system terminology and component terminology serve different engineering purposes: one describes the overall hydraulic function, while the other describes individual parts and subassemblies.
- Applies to rotodynamic and positive displacement liquid pumps.
- Covers terms, quantities, letter symbols and units related to liquid flow.
- Includes a definition of a liquid pump.
- Identifies units in common usage.
