The official Excel data sheets are typically sold as a companion to the standard. You can find the full specification and associated files through standard bodies: Accuris Standards Store API Standards Store

Mark saved the file, backed it up, and finally turned off his monitor. The pump would be reliable, the project would be safe, and—thanks to a well-built Excel sheet—he could finally go home.

: Replacing the previous 20-year service life requirement, the data sheet now includes fields for vendors to provide evidence of "field proven" reliability for specific models.

An Excel data sheet puts all these rules into a digital form. It allows you to type in numbers and share them easily. Key Parts of the Data Sheet

Liquid pumped, pumping temperature (normal/maximum), specific gravity, viscosity, vapor pressure, and corrosives/solids content.

API 610 12th Edition (published January 2021) standardizes centrifugal pumps for the petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas industries. A cornerstone of this update is the Excel-based data sheet

: New dedicated sections or "data lists" capture details for shaft guards , updated baseplate numbers (2.5 to 12), and VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) considerations.

: Put the project name, item number, and date at the top.

This section tracks the physical build of the pump casing and internals.

The 12th edition works in SI units (meters, kPa, °C) but many US vendors still think in imperial (feet, psi, °F). Use Excel’s CONVERT function to show both.
