Peristaltic Pumps for Oil and Gas

Which API does Apply?

What would be the best specification for the High-Pressure Peristaltic Hose Pump?

There are a few specs that we can take as a reference, but do they include the peristaltic pump?

When trying to find the best applicable specification(s) we need to look at the principle of the pump. Can we do this together? Any experts here?

Just a few hints;
– Rotary positive displacement pump
– High Pulsation
– Excellent Metering

API 674 – This standard covers the minimum requirements for reciprocating positive displacement pumps and pump units for use in the petroleum, petrochemical, and gas industry services. Both direct-acting and power-frame types are included. Controlled-volume pumps, hydraulically driven pumps, and rotary pumps are not included.

API 675 – This standard covers the minimum requirements for reciprocating, controlled volume pumps and pump units for use in the petroleum, petrochemical, and gas industry services. These pumps are either the hydraulic diaphragm or packed plunger designs. Rotary positive displacement pumps are not included. Diaphragm pumps that use direct mechanical actuation are also excluded.

API 676 – This standard covers the minimum requirements for rotary positive displacement process pumps and pump units for use in the petroleum, petrochemical, and gas industry services. Controlled-volume pumps, hydraulically driven pumps, and positive displacement reciprocating pumps are not included (see API 674 for positive displacement reciprocating pumps and API 675 for controlled-volume pumps)
