RE: iso2858 pump market?
A bit more information would be helpful. Why are you asking? Just because you are interested or do you look for a metal pump and can't find one?
RE: iso2858 pump market?
ISO pumps tend to be more used in the building services industry. API 610 pumps are more suited tot he chemical industry.
Plastic pumps means nothing. Do you mean lined pumps? Magnetic drive plastic bodied wet end pumps?
Generally plastic bodied pumps are limited in size and would not be used to move liquid other than for chemcial dosing.

"..I cannot get any customer feedback" Did you ask your clients by mail, e-mail or did you call them?
RE: iso2858 pump market?
But my distributors are too worried about losing customers, due to the risk of cross selling even though we are all part of the same group.
I am trying to out find where it is effective to plough my very limited engineering resources to generate sustainable growth.
RE: iso2858 pump market?
I think its all about the industry you are in. For me I perfer the ANSI B73.1 as they historically had a better range of metallurgy for the inorganic chemicals I work with (acids, salts, water, etc). I don't think either metallic mag drive or "plastic" lined mag drive or non mag drive have replaced either the ISO or ANSI market.
To me (and that IMHO) the ISO series is more a European type standard. In my industry we don't see much of them at all.
Good luck
RE: iso2858 pump market?
But looking at the competition I guess I would have to do that anyway.
Hence why I am having to resort to asking dumb questions on here.
RE: iso2858 pump market?
Also many ISO pumps are produced in China and India and are as acheap as chips. It is a very competitive market unless you manufacture in those countries.

The pump manufacturer has no control over this engineering. I would expect those who buy on price are of the same mindset as to skimp on the engineering and guess the performance criteria.
A pump oerating on clean fluid at BEP would be expected last a considerable time. The ISO pump is not as unforgiving as an API pump in operating away from BEP. But in the end you pay for it in the Capex and save in the Opex.
