Pump Standards

Pump standards address the performance, test, and design requirements for pumps that are used in commercial vehicles and aircrafts. Additionally, pump standards serve as a set of guidelines and recommended practices related to the maintenance, configuration, and design of pumps. One major developer of pump standards is SAE International (SAE). SAE has developed a variety of pump standards that are applicable to hydraulic pumps and fuel injection pumps. SAE has several technical committees that have contributed to the development of these standards, including the Truck and Bus Aerodynamics and Fuel Economy Committee (fact sheet) and the A-6C6 Power Sources Committee (fact sheet).


SAE J 744-2021

SAE AS 595D-2010 (SAE AS595D-2010)

Aerospace - Civil Type Variable Delivery, Pressure Compensate, Hydraulic Pump

NOTE: Hydraulic pumps may incorporate features such as a clutch in the input dirve, which will not be covered ty this standard.



SAE AIR 560C-1999 (SAE AIR560C-1999)

Missile Hydraulic Pumps ( Reaffirmed: Jul 2007 )

Missile pumps are categorized by a moderate testing life and a relatively short operational service life. Generally, the pumps are operated at higher speeds, temperatures, and pressures than those used in manned aircraft systems, yet reliability must be extremely high, since there rarely is a redundant system aboard the missile. Due to the short but critical life and performance requirements, development, reliability and acceptance testing should be focused on eliminating infant mortality failures. Missile pumps must be compatible with very severe environmental conditions during the service life. In general, the temperature, vibration, shock, and acceleration encountered are more severe than those met in manned aircraft. This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) will be confined to describing missile environments and pump usage that differ significantly from those normally encountered in manned aircraft. Since missile pumps are usually driven by a secondary power source, and since this AIR is intended for use by systems designers, as well as pump designers, a brief description of some of these sources and some potential problem areas associated with each are included for reference. A more detailed treatment of auxiliary power sources can be found in AIR744. Detailed test requirements are not included in this AIR since a wide variation exists between those operating conditions and environments that might be encountered on an air-to-air missile, hung beneath the wing of a fighter aircraft, and that of an ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile), launched from an environmentally controlled silo. Missile pumps frequently have their genesis in standard aircraft pumps, however, what distinguishes them from manned aircraft pumps is that they are usually operated outside of, or at the extreme of their long-life design parameters. Therefore, if a new design pump is being proposed for a missile application, environmental conditions referenced in this AIR should be considered, as opposed to long-life operation and environmental requirements of a manned aircraft, engine-driven pump.

SAE J 1537-2021

Gasoline Low-Pressure Electric Fuel Pump Characterization

This SAE Recommended Practice defines the tests for three basic categories of pump characteristics. These are the basic functional performance tests, the pump limitation tests and the pump integrity tests.

The other two individual tests are for the deadhead pressure and the delivered fuel flow rate at the rated delivery pressure and voltage. The included tests for pump limitations are individual tests for hot fuel handling, cold magnet knockdown, load dump transient, electrical interference, and reverse flow leak. The testing for pump integrity includes individual tests for vibration, temperature cycling, internal fluid compatibility, and operational durability. These 12 individual tests provide a characterization of the particular pump. This document only addresses the in-tank-mounted, electric-motor-driven, low-pressure fuel pump itself, and does not address in-tank pump modules, as these modules may include other devices. The pumps that are to be tested are intended for the pumping of liquid fuels that are applicable to fuel-injected, spark-ignition engines.
