Manufacturers who have to prove a duty point
The software is built for one kind of customer: a manufacturer whose pumps and motors have to meet a published performance figure, and who has to be able to show that they do.
In practice that means the ISI licence holders making water-lifting pumps for agriculture and for homes. A borewell submersible set, an openwell set, a monoblock, a jet pump, a self priming pump: each has an Indian Standard, a declared duty, a scheme of testing and an inspecting officer who will ask for the records.
It also means the research and development teams inside those companies, who use the same comparison graphs to judge whether a new impeller profile is an improvement, and the motor winding sections proving their motors before the sets are assembled.
What these plants have in common
- A test bench with flow measurement and electrical instrumentation.
- A declared duty for every model in the range.
- A record-keeping obligation that outlives the person who did the test.
- More pumps to test than there is time to test them in.

Industries the software adapts to
The package was written for water-lifting pumps. These are the sectors it has been designed to extend to, with the test procedure and report format customised to the duty.
| Industry | What customisation covers |
|---|---|
| Oil & Gas | Process duty curves and higher pressure ranges. |
| Chemical | Corrosive duty, sealed construction, material-wise test records. |
| Semi-solid handling | Slurry and sewage sets where passage size is recorded with the duty point. |
| Marine | Ballast and bilge duties with classification-society report formats. |
| Construction | Dewatering and mud pumps run at variable head. |
| Food & Beverages | Hygienic duty with wash-down and CIP records. |
| Water Treatment | Dosing and transfer sets tested across a wide flow band. |
| Defence | Documented test trials against a written acceptance schedule. |
| Automobile | Coolant and fuel transfer pumps on endurance test cycles. |
| Heavy machinery | Hydraulic and lubrication pumps recorded with the machine build. |
Customisation to a duty outside the water-lifting range is quoted separately, after we have seen the test procedure and the report format the sector requires.
