MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (March 5, 2013) – North America is a mature market for submersible pumps, a scenario that challenges suppliers to sharpen their strategic thinking and expand their toolbox of tactics to grow beyond today's market averages, according to Frost & Sullivan. With 2012 growth estimated at approximately 3 percent, pump manufacturers must find the dynamic seams in the market that can provide growth that is more in line with their corporate objectives.

Parsippany, NJ (July 11, 2012) – The Hydraulic Institute (HI) has updated the 2001 edition of the ANSI/HI standard on submersible pump tests and published ANSI/HI 11.6 – 2012 Rotodynamic Submersible Pumps for Hydraulic Performance, Hydrostatic Pressure, Mechanical, and Electrical Acceptance Tests.  The updated standard applies to customer acceptance testing of submersible pumps driven by induction motors, unless otherwise agreed or specified.
