RE: Raw Water Pumps-API or non API
Discharge pressure (gauge): 1 900 kPa (275 psi; 19,0 bar)
Suction pressure (gauge): 500 kPa (75 psi; 5,0 bar)
Pumping temperature 150 Degrees C (300 Degrees F)
Rotative speed: 3,600 r/min
Rated total head: 120 m (400 ft)
Impeller diameter, overhung pumps: 330 mm (13 in)
Most raw water pumps are not used in such demanding applications. Most pumps used for this application are not API standard unless there is a specific client request.
See the attached API page.

With all due respect, and not personally directed at you, but would be ridiculous to consider API 610 for you raw water service.
What are your Conditions of Service, and what type of facility is it in?

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)
