At l-ocations where cable or seismic solid brace
restraints are located, the gravity support rods must
be braced when necessary to accept compressive loads
by clamping with stee1 angles that are sized t.o
prevent the buckling of the rods. A minimum of three
ductile iron clamps shall be used. Welding of support

The test procedure is as fol-l-ows:
a vj-suaI check of the unit. Verify that hose
and nozzles are securely tied down. See that the
hose val-ves are cl-osed. At least fifty feet of
approved two and one-half inch rubber lined hose
equipped with pfay pipe nozzLe shall be connected
to the header manifold located downstream of the
adjustabl-e meter throttle valve. One 50' long hose
assembly shal-l be connected in parallel for each
two hundred fifty gpm of rated pump capacity.
Make

Start the pump.
Partial-l-y open one or two hose valves.
Check the general operation of the unit. Watch for
vi-bration, l-eaks (oil or water) , unusual- noises,
and general operation. Adjust packing glands.
Discharge of water. The steps are as foll-ows.
Using the test vaf ve header, regiulate the
discharge by means of the hose valves,
adj ustable meter throttle
val-ve and a
selection of the nozzle tips. The pfay pipe
has a removable tip. The tip has a L-L/B-inch
nozzle, and when the tip is removed, the play
pipe has a l-3/4 inch nozzLe. Hose valves
should be shut off before removins or puttinq
on the I-L/ B inch tip.
b
Important test points are at 150 percent
rated capacity, rated capacity, and shutoff.
Intermediate points can be taken if desired
to help develop the performance curve. If
availabl-e suction suppl-ies do not permit the
flowing of 150% of rated pump capacity, the
pump shall be operated at maximum al-lowabl-e
discharge to determine its acceptance. This
reduced capacity shal-l not const j-tute an
unacceptabl€ test.
An acceptable pump
capacity shal-l- be demonstrated when at l-east
50 feet of 2-I/2" rubber lined hose is
utilized with a L-I/ B i-nch nozzLe, after the
meter throttl-e val-ve has been adjusted to
si-mulate the static pressure due to the
height of the riser. The fire pump or
sprinkl-er booster pump capacity wil-l only be
acceptable if the rise of pressure across the

amperes al-Iowed due to the motor service
factor. In the case of 1.15 servi-ce factor,
the maximum amperes are approximately 1.15
times motor amperes , rf t.he changes in power
factor and efficiency are not considered. If
the maximum amperes recorded on the test do

important to measure voltage and amperes
accurately on each phase should the maximum

improvement in the power supply. There is
nothing that can be done to the motor or the

Conclusion: The final step in the test
cal-culation is to plot the test points. A
field head-capacity curve is plotted, and a
field ampere-capacity curve is plotted. A
study of these curves will
show the
performance of the pump as it was tested as
compared to the factory data.
