The fire pump flow test is required by NFPA 25 to be conducted once a year in order to measure the pumps flow and pressure. The test should be performed by attaching hoses to the discharge test header. The hoses are run to a safe location where the flow of water will cause no damage.
The purpose of a fire pump acceptance test is to determine: Within the accuracy of the calibrated test instruments, that the pump meets the manufacturers certified characteristic curve; The installation complies with NFPA 20, as interpreted by PRC. 14.2.
Run the pump for 20 minutes at 100% of rated capacity, with a net pump pressure of 150 pounds per square inch (psi). The NFPA requires this test for pumps rated for over 750 gpm. Immediately after the 20-minute test, run the pump for 5 minutes, at its rated capacity, at 165 psi.
3 of this standard, the annual flow testing of fire pumps should be performed as a minimum at three points across pump curve; no flow (churn), 100% of the pump rated capacity and 150% of the pump rated capacity by controlling discharged water through approved discharge devices.
