Frequently asked questions about Fire Pump Acceptance

What is the churn pressure limit for a fire pump?
NFPA 20 requires the no-flow (churn) pressure not exceed 140% of the pump’s rated pressure. A higher reading indicates a problem that should be investigated before acceptance.
What must a fire pump deliver at 150% of rated flow?
At 150% of rated flow, a centrifugal fire pump must maintain at least 65% of its rated pressure. Where the water supply cannot sustain 150% flow, the test is run at the maximum available flow and recorded as supply-limited.
