Does not anyone help me?

RE: fire fighting pump performance test

Perhaps Hydraulic Institute testing standards would be applicable. Not sure of the size of your pump, but this is the place I would start.

RE: fire fighting pump performance test

That's part of the problem about the NFPA that it doesn't really address pump issues. I'd go for duty points and no more than 10% away from values.

My motto: Learn something new every day

Also: There's usually a good reason why everyone does it that way

RE: fire fighting pump performance test


Check out UL and FM requirement for the fire pump listing. Most likely follow HI standard.
