Xylem 8100 Series Centrifugal Pumps AC2515 REV.C - Manual (Page 22)

CAUTION:
If heat is used to keep the pump from
freezing, do not let the temperature rise above
150°F.
FIELD TESTS
A typical performance curve for a specific pump
can be obtained from AC Fire Pump. This can be
used in conjunction with a field test, if one is
required. All AC Fire Pump tests and curves are
based on the Hydraulic Institute Standards. Any
field test must be conducted according to these
Standards.
Unless otherwise specifically agreed, all capacity,
head, and efficiencies are based on shop tests
when handling clear, cold, fresh water at a
temperature not over 85°F.
Appendix “C” (Page 61) contains a field test report
sheet and some useful equations which can be
used when conducting a field test.
