Kirloskar Brothers Limited Test Lab Facility Approved through HI’s Pump Test Lab Approval Program

20.11.2025
The Hydraulic Institute introduces member company, Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL), as the latest company to have their pump test laboratory, located at Kirloskarvadi, Maharashtra approved through the HI Pump Test Lab Approval Program.

The HI program assists pump original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and other pump test laboratories to improve their current laboratory procedures and policies by working with an experienced third-party auditor to develop and maintain accurate, uniform, and repeatable pump testing protocols. The program also helps participating organizations adhere to the requirements of the international test laboratory accreditation standard (ISO 17025) concerning test measurement equipment.

As the DOE requires increased efficiencies for commercial and industrial pumps, a manufacturer's ability to demonstrate accurate pump performance is an important part of compliance. Performing these tests in a lab that not only applies to the industry test standard (HI 40.6) but also stands up to an independent third-party audit builds confidence in the market that the stated efficiencies will be achieved.

Mr. Sanjay Kirloskar, Chairman and Managing Director of KBL remarked, “We are pleased that KBL continues to set benchmarks in the Indian pump industry with the Hydraulic Institute’s approval for an extensive range of pumps. It reflects our unwavering commitment to engineering excellence and global quality standards. This recognition not only strengthens trust in KBL’s capabilities but also showcases India’s growing stature in high-end manufacturing on the world stage.”
