Pump
Pentair seems to be one of those organisations whose name pops up everywhere. The pump group in fact is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pentair, a diversified industrial manufacturer that employs over 14 000 people globally with annualized sales of $3 billion. Pentair acquired the General Signal Pump Group in August, 1997. The combination of FE Myers, acquired by Pentair in 1986, Aurora Pump, Fairbanks Morse, Hydromatic Pump, and LayneNerti-Line, all formerly part of the General Signal

Pumps
Goulds Pumps has introduced a new hydraulic selection system, HSS, which it’s making accessible via the Internet at wwwgouldspumpscom. HSS provides comprehensive information about Goulds’ extensive line of pumps based on selection criteria provided by the user. The program will select from a database of over 5000 pump models and sizes to match the customers’ parameters. HSS will then generate a performance curve and issue an, if desired, E-mail a request for quotation. HSS will post all models meeting the basic selection criteria and also display limit violations, allowing the user to make alternate selections. Besides basic operating parameters, HSS also allows users to specify advanced criteria such as viscosity. Other features include the ability to graph pumps individually, in series or in parallel. Also, users may perform side-by-side comparisons. www.gouldspumps.com

Institute
The Hydraulic Institute’s long heralded website is here at last, with the launch of wwwpumps.org, a comprehensive homepage devoted to the pump industry. The objective is that the site will serve as a primary resource for manufacturer/supplier contact information, industry news and educational materials, as well as pump standards and books. According to Robert Asdal, executive director of the Hydraulic Institute, “Up until now, there was no one place on the Internet for extensive information on pumps and pumping systems standards, on manufacturers, suppliers, and the industry in general. We feel this site will create the much needed sense of community and connectivity that’s been missing within the industry. One hundred leading suppliers are already profiled on the site.” A key feature of the HI web site is the Supplier Finder, which allows users to easily identify the pump manufacturer or supplier that best serves their needs. The user can select from eight different search criteria including three specific product categories, markets served, company name, trade name or by state location. The trade name feature is a unique service for pump users. With pump industry consolidation, this feature allows users to track products to their current corporate owner. The Supplier Finder uses Boolean search operations, employing the “AND” function for multiple search criteria, making it easier for users to search multiple fields. Extensive corporate profile information on each company is presented to pump users in search results. In many cases, the user will be able to link directly with the corporate web site. Regarding training and educational materials, users can find the industry’s latest and most comprehensive line of products at the E-Store location. According to Asdal, visitors also have access to a plethora of information on pumps, available at no charge. “Pump users can navigate several pump family trees to search, view and print cross-section diagrams of over 100 different types of pumps. This invaluable information is compiled from our latest 2000 Edition ANSI/HI Pump Standards to be available in the third quarter of this year. We want this web site to be highly interactive and informative, serving as a conduit for sharing knowledge and experience. To facilitate that, we encourage users to post their questions or comments on the Pump User Forum, which will then be reviewed by experts in the field.” Creation and launch of the HI web site has been funded by the Institute, with further development based on sponsorship and web maintenance fees from HI members. www.pumps.org
