What is the minimum continuous stable flow for fire water pump? Is there any requirement if so howmuch in terms of percentage of rated flow?
The firewater pump is on an offshore platform.
Thanks in advance for you replies.

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)

I have know fire pumps in the UK to be tested weekly for 1 hour against shut valve. One example was an end suction single impeller pump of 25kW that ran so hot due to lack of forward flow that you could not bear your hand on the casing for more than a few seconds. The pump impeller eventually destroyed itself.

(usually the helideck monitors) should be 7bar.
