API 610 Major Changes From 5th Through 10th Editions 5

The document compares rotor balancing requirements across different editions of an unspecified standard. It shows that later editions have moved from requiring multistage pump rotors to be balanced to 4W/N regardless of speed, to a two-plane balancing standard of 8W/N below 3800 RPM and 4W/N above. Stack balancing is now required only when specified, and a residual unbalance check is required for all assembled rotors in the latest editions.
