Test procedure for Horizontal in-line pump
- Thread starter Jeanbl

Hello,
I will give you a simplified answer to your question. Basically you should be looking at three items: The head, the capacity, i.e. flowrate in gpm and the power required by the motor. You should have been given a performance curve for this pump from the factory from whence it was purchased. Your objective should be to try and match several points on the curve of head versus capacity, speed and efficiency to assure yourself that the pump will produce the required flow at the speed and horsepower and efficiency specified by the Manufacturer.

Suggest you download a standard from ISO, AWWA or Australian standards. The Hydraulics Institute has some good material. If you use an international recognised standard or procedure there will be fewer problems with your customer and QA inspectors.
