1.6.5 Performance test 1.6.5.1. Performance test acceptance tolerances ‘The acceptance tolerance applies to the specified con- dition point anly, not to the entire performance curve. While pumps must be closely checked for satisfactory ‘mechanical operation during performance testing, the degree and extent of such checking is independent of the level of acceptance tolerances. ‘The minimum number of test points for level “A” shall be 7, and the minimum number for level “B" shail be 5. See Section 1.6.5.3 for descriptions of levels A and B. When testing at rated speed is not practical, test speed shall not be less than 80% nor more than 120% of the rated speed. It is permissible on pumps greater than 225 kW (300 horsepower) to test at speeds between 60% and 140% of rated speed. Results are to be adjusted to rated speed. Any greater change in speed shall be by mutual agreement. 1.6.5.2 Witnessing of tests ‘The purchaser or purchaser's designated representa * tive may witness the test when requested by the pur- chaser in the purchase order. 1.6.5.3 Acceptance levels ‘The performance test has two levels of acceptance, A ‘and B, for the quantitative values. Acceptance level *A" is usually applied to those pumps that are manu- factured for specific conditions of service. Acceptance level “B" is usualy applied to those pumps that are mass produced for stock. If not specified, level A will apply.
