PERFORMANCE CURVE
REMARKS:
The pump performance test was carried out at variable RPM using a diesel engine. The results, shown in the Q-H curve, are plotted. The
results of the FAT conducted by Proeight indicate that the pump performance doesn’t meet the NFPA 25 requirements.
REMARKS:
The results of the FAT conducted by Proeight were adjusted to match the speed data provided by the OEM (Worthington). The graph
proves that the performance of the pump does not meet the NFPA 25 requirements.
