Steam System Conditions.Steam pressure gauge reading is normal.

Testing.Purpose.

The purpose of testing the pump assembly is to ensure automatic or manual operation upon demand andcontinuous delivery of the required system output. An additional purpose is to detect deficiencies of the pumpassembly not evident by inspection.

Weekly Tests.Qualified operating personnel shall be in attendance during the weekly pump operation.

A weekly test of electric motor-driven pump assemblies shall be conducted without flowing water. This testshall be conducted by starting the pump automatically. The pump shall run a minimum of 10 minutes.

A weekly test of diesel engine-driven pump assemblies shall be conducted without flowing water. This testshall be conducted by starting the pump automatically, and the pump shall run a minimum of 30 minutes..The automatic weekly test timer shall be permitted to be substituted for the starting procedure.

The pertinent visual observations or adjustments specified in the following checklists shall be conducted whilethe pump is running.Pump System Procedure.

(a) Record the system suction and discharge pressure gauge readings.(b) Check the pump packing glands for slight discharge.(c) Adjust gland nuts if necessary.(d) Check for unusual noise or vibration.(e) Check packing boxes, bearings, or pump casing for overheating.(f) Record the pump starting pressure.

Electrical System Procedure.(a) Observe the time for motor to accelerate to full speed.(b) Record the time controller is on first step (for reduced voltage or reduced current starting).(c) Record the time pump runs after starting (for automatic stop controllers).

Diesel Engine System Procedure.(a) Observe the time for engine to crank.(b) Observe the time for engine to reach running speed.(c) Observe the engine oil pressure gauge, speed indicator, water, and oil temperature indicators

periodically while engine is running.(d) Record any abnormalities.(e) Check the heat exchanger for cooling water flow.

Annual Tests.An annual test of each pump assembly shall be conducted under minimum, rated, and peak flows of the firepump by controlling the quantity of water discharged through approved test devices.

(a) Use of the pump discharge via the hose streams; pump suction and discharge pressures and the flowmeasurements of each hose stream shall determine the total pump output. Care shall be taken to preventwater damage by verifying there is adequate drainage for the high-pressure water discharge from hoses.

(b) Use of the pump discharge via the bypass flow meter to drain or suction the reservoir; pump suction anddischarge pressures and the flow meter measurements shall determine the total pump output.

(c) Use of the pump discharge via the bypass flow meter to pump suction (closed-loop metering); pumpsuction and discharge pressures and the flow meter measurements shall determine the total pump output.

The pertinent visual observations, measurements, and adjustments specified in the following checklist shallbe conducted annually while the pump is running and flowing water under the specified output condition.

At No-Flow Condition (Churn). (Conduct this test first.)(a) Check the circulation relief valve for operation to discharge water.(b) Check the pressure relief valve (if installed) for proper operation.(c) Continue the test for 1/2 hour.

At Each Flow Condition.(a) Record the electric motor voltage and current (all lines).(b) Record the pump speed in rpm.(c) Record the simultaneous (approximately) readings of pump suction and discharge pressures and pump

discharge flow.

(d) Observe the operation of any alarm indicators or any visible abnormalities.

For installations having a device installed to control minimum suction pressure by throttling action, low suctionpressure on the device (below set minimum value) shall be simulated while pumping at the rated flow.Throttling action shall be observed for any abnormality (e.g., cavitations, pressure surges, and failure tothrottle). The simulated low suction pressure on the device shall be removed and throttling action again shallbe observed for any abnormality as the pump returns to full flow.

For installations having an automatic transfer switch, the following test shall be performed to ensure that theover current protective devices (i.e., fuses or circuit breakers) do not open. Normal power failure shall besimulated while the pump is delivering peak power output to cause connection of the pump motor to thealternate power source. The pump’s peak power output shall be restored (if necessary). The simulatednormal power failure condition then shall be removed, which, after a time delay, shall cause the reconnectionof the pump motor to the normal power source.

Alarm conditions shall be simulated by activating alarm circuits at alarm sensor locations, and all such local orremote alarm indicating devices (visual and audible) shall be observed for operation.

Other Tests.Engine generator sets supplying emergency or standby power to fire pump assemblies shall be testedroutinely.

Tests of appropriate environmental pump room space conditions (e.g., heating, ventilation, illumination) shallbe made to ensure proper manual or automatic operation of the associated equipment.

Test Results and Evaluation.The interpretation of the test results shall be the basis of the determination of adequacy of the pumpassembly. Such interpretation shall be made by those skilled in such matters.

The pump test curve shall be compared to the unadjusted field acceptance test curve and the previousannual test curve(s). Increasing engine speed beyond the rated speed of the pump at rated condition is notan acceptable method for meeting the rated pump performance. Theoretical factors for correction to the ratedspeed shall not be applied where determining the compliance of the pump per the test.

Current and voltage readings whose product does not exceed the product of the rated voltage and ratedfull-load current multiplied by the permitted motor service factor shall be considered acceptable. Voltagereadings at the motor within 5 percent below or 10 percent above the rated (i.e., nameplate) voltage shall beconsidered acceptable.

The pump shall be capable of supplying the maximum system demand.

Reports.Any abnormality observed during inspection or testing shall be reported promptly to the person responsible

for correcting the abnormality.Test results shall be recorded and retained for comparison. All time delay intervals associated with the

pump’s starting, stopping, and energy source transfer shall be recorded.Maintenance.

A preventive maintenance program shall be established on all components of the pump assembly inaccordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Records shall be maintained on all work performed onthe pump, driver, controller, and auxiliary equipment.

In the absence of manufacturer’s recommendations for preventive maintenance, Table below providesalternative requirements.
