The active involvement of members representing these various sectors in the industry adds strength and vitality to the organization and the many volunteer committees that drive the initiatives of the Institute.

# The Hydraulic Institute: What We Do

Standards and Education



### • Industry Standar ds HI members play an active and influential role in the development of ANSI and ISO-approved pump and pump system standards. Qualified technical representa

tives from member companies serve on HI standards-writing committees and participate in the ANSI/HI canvass approval process. Members choose to participate on the committees most relevant to their organizations’ product scope and strategic positions. Currently HI maintains a library of standards that are highly regarded by the user community and referenced by API, ANSI B.73, PIP, SWPA, and other associations. HI members play a critical role in keeping these documents current and advancing standards leadership in new areas such as electronic data exchange (EDE) — a transforma

tional standard that is having a major impact on the way business is being conducted in the industry.
Members also participate in ISO TC-115, representing the U.S. on global pump standards, and may vote on ISO standards through the U.S. Technical Advisory Group (TAG) on international pump standards. 

### •	 Industry Guidebooks HI members and Pump Systems M atter (PSM) sponsors jointly wrote a seminal guidebook on pump systems opti

mization. This guide moves the pump industry and the user community toward more energy-efficient and economic pumping systems, while it helps members identify new business and market transformation opportunities. New committee work will result in a series of guidebooks for specific pumping applications like power plants, water and wastewater, and more.



### •	 Education and Training PSM is an educational subsidiary of the Hy draulic Institute and a key resource for the pump industry. PSM delivers high-quality, high-value pump education, including e-learning courses, webinars, conferences, jointly sponsored programs that feature recognized industry experts, and more. PSM also offers interested members and standards partners the opportunity to gain industry-wide exposure and recognition for their companies — and themselves — through the development and presentation of PSM educa

tional courses. Participants in PSM educational programs earn Professional Development Hour (PDH) credits. Peer Networking



### • Networking in Nor th America One of the primary benefits of membership in HI is the opportunity to develop vital business relationships with peers in the pump industry. HI’s meetings and events provide just the right opportunities to forge these invaluable business connections with a variety of pump industry professionals. CEOs and senior management can gain unique industry insights from one another that cannot be gained elsewhere, while young engineers can interact with and learn from experienced industry experts, thereby gaining significant career-development opportunities. The Institute’s regularly scheduled meetings and Market Outlook Workshop provide similar networking opportunities for sales and marketing professionals, supply chain managers, engineers, business analysts, and other senior managers.


### •	 Global Business Networking Exchanges with the Europump organization provide even more peer networking opportunities, where members can gain a vital international perspective on the pump industry. Pump companies may attend Europump meetings and participate in joint HI/Europump projects that have included the development of Pump Life Cycle Costs, Variable Speed Pumping, and pump systems efficiency strat

egies. HI’s technical advocacy role in this regard has been a significant benefit to the pump industry.

Business Intelligence


### •	 Statistics Reports Members may participate in or subscribe to industry statistical surveys that provide valuable strategic planning and business insights, and do so at no cost to participants. Distributed monthly, HI’s pump bookings report provides timely information on current U.S. market trends; HI’s quarterly global pump bookings report allows partici

pants to track bookings trends globally; HI’s annual wages and benefits reports allow companies to benchmark their compensation and benefits against other similarly sized and similarly located companies; and finally, the annual finan

cial and operating ratio report guides participating member companies in the effective allocation of resources. Member Benefits Overview |

### •	 Pump Systems Matter Sponsorship HI members are also sponsors of Pump S ystems Matter, an educational subsidiary of HI focusing on energy savings, efficiency, and economic opportunities associated with optimizing pumping systems. Sponsors are exploring new business service opportunities in the pump industry, and are positioning their staff as trained, qualified specialists or instructors on pump systems energy-savings and optimiza

tion projects. PSM also works closely with utilities, energyefficiency NGOs, and the U.S. Department of Energy, focusing primarily on pump systems education, outreach, and end-user energy savings. 

### • Use of Logos Members may display the widely recognized “Member of HI” and “Sponsor of PSM” logos — symbols of integrity and value — on their websites and literature, recognizing their affiliation with the internationally respected Hydraulic Institute and attesting to their organizations’ support for HI standards and guidelines to the pump user community.
