Standard running test:

The pumps shall be tested as per IS: 5120, at rated speed in manufacturer’s works to
measure capacity, total head, efficiency and power. The negative tolerance on efficiency
shall be limited to 2 ½ % (not 5% as indicated in IS: 5120). These tests will form the basis for
acceptance of pumps except for vibration and noise. The pumps shall be tested over the
range covering from shut off head to the maximum flow. The duration of the test shall be
minimum one hour or till the stabilization of bearing/mechanical seal temperature rise.
Minimum five readings approximately equidistant shall be taken for plotting the performance
curves.

The positive tolerance on power input to the pump set at duty point shall be limited to the
value, if indicated in Data Sheet. Otherwise the tolerance is governed by the tolerances on
pump capacity and efficiency of the pump set.

NPSH tests:
NPSH tests shall be conducted with water as the medium to demonstrate the ability of the
pump to draw the water the designed suction lift.

In addition to static balancing, impeller and balancing drum shall be balanced dynamically as
per ISO-1940 Gr. 6.3 near to the operating speed.

Non-destructive testing of the pump components shall be offered as specified in Data Sheet.
These tests shall be conducted in accordance with relevant standards. Prior to testing, the
test procedure and repair procedure shall be submitted for the purchaser’s approval. All
components which are tested successfully shall be used for the manufacture of final product.
All test results shall be submitted by the vendor for the purchaser’s approval.

Pumps shall be offered for visual inspection (if specified in Data Sheet) by the purchaser
before shipment. The components of the pumps shall not be painted before inspection.

:
Materials of the various pump components shall be tested in accordance with the relevant
standards. Test certificates for these shall be furnished when specified in Data Sheet and
shall be duly correlated w.r.t components/parts.
:
After installation, the pumps will be subjected to testing at field by the purchaser. If the field
performance is found not to meet the requirements regarding vibration and noise as
specified, then the equipment shall be rectified or replaced by the vendor, at no extra cost to
the purchaser.
