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

Types of Tests

A full range of tests are conducted, which include the following:

Canned Motor Centrifugal Pumps (EN ISO 9906 Grade 2)

• Standard Pump Performance Test – capacity, head, power absorbed and efficiency
• NPSH. Test –to verify suction characteristic of the pump
• Vibration Test
• Hydro Test – to guarantee pressures and to detect any leakage on components and mechanical seals

SPECIFICATIONS

The capacity of the Test Bed is as follows:

• Pumps with flow rates from 1m/h to 250m3/hr can be tested. 
• Heads of up to 200m are measured with standard equipment.
• Power is measured with a twin element wattmeter, connected through potential and current transformers, which are in turn connected to two phases of power supply to motor.
• Meter drives up to 200kw can be used for testing.
• All equipment is calibrated as per EN ISO 9906 Grade 2.  When the procedures of this test code are followed, all possible uncertainties have been accounted for, thus forming a solid base for comparing data.
• A test supervisor possessing adequate experience in measuring operations will be entrusted with carry out the test.
