OAP FOR PERFORMANCE TEST

The objective of this document is to lay down a standard procedure for performance tests of horizontal
1. The Objective
centrifugal pumps at our test facility.

The tests to be carried out at the facility will conform, primarily, to the requirements laid down in ISO
9906 for Grade -1 testing. The most recent version of this standard will be the guiding conformance
2. The Conformance
document for the test setup. The test set up has been prepared to conform also to ANSI/HI standards
for testing of horizontal and vertical centrifugal pumps.

Performance test shall be carried out to establish the following parameters:

Rated Capacity
Rated Head
Power absorbed by the pump at rated duty
3. Hydraulic Performance Parameter to be The efficiency of the pump at rated duty
tested
Performance characteristics of the pump from closed valve condition to
120% of the rated flow
If there is a specific agreement with the customer, the NPSH test will also be carried out by "the 3%
head suppression" method. A brief descrigtion of this grocedure is enclosed

The test shall include recording of the following parameters to check the mechanical integrity of the
pump:
Bearing Temperature
Temperature of Packing
4. Mechanical Parameter to be tested
Leakage of air
Leakage of water
Acoustic Emission
Vibration

A test supervisor possessing adequate experience in measuring operations will be entrusted with
5. Staff
carrying out the test

6. Test Equipment A list of egyjgment is currently used to carry out the test.
