Fire Pump Test

Ensure your fire protection system performs when it matters most. Our certified mechanical engineers deliver comprehensive fire pump tests in accordance with NFPA 20 and NFPA 25, including:

  • Acceptance, annual, monthly and churn tests
  • Flow and pressure performance curves
  • Emergency power start-up verification

You’ll receive a clear pass/fail report, detailed hydraulic data and any corrective recommendations—keeping your system compliant, reliable and ready for action.

Fire Pump Testing Services

Ensure your fire pump system operates at peak performance and meets all regulatory requirements. Our mechanical engineering firm delivers detailed fire pump testing in full compliance with NFPA standards and local codes.

Why Fire Pump Testing Matters

Regular testing validates your fire pump’s ability to supply the required flow and pressure during an emergency. It helps you:

  • Identify mechanical or hydraulic issues before they escalate
  • Verify pump driver performance (electric motor or diesel engine)
  • Confirm automatic transfer switches and controllers function correctly
  • Maintain insurance, regulatory, and AHJ compliance

Our Comprehensive Testing Scope

  1. Acceptance Testing
  • Initial verification of new installations
  • Validation of design specifications against actual performance
  1. Annual & Periodic Testing
  • Full flow and pressure tests under rated conditions
  • Churn (low-flow) tests to assess relief valve setpoints
  1. Monthly & Weekly Inspections
  • Quick-start checks, driver run-time, vibration and oil-level inspections
  • Control circuit diagnostics and alarm verification
  1. Hydraulic Performance Analysis
  • Comparison against manufacturer’s pump curves
  1. Ancillary System Checks
  • Suction- and discharge-valve operation
  • Relief/pressure-regulating valve setpoint confirmation
  • Coupling alignment and bearing condition

Our Testing Process

  1. Pre-Test Planning
  • Review system design, previous test data, and manufacturer recommendations
  • Coordinate test timing to minimize facility downtime
  1. On-Site Inspection & Instrumentation
  • Calibration of pressure gauges, flow meters, and tachometers
  • Safety briefings and site hazard assessments
  1. Live Testing & Data Collection
  • Conduct full-range flow and pressure tests
  • Monitor driver RPM, fuel consumption (diesel), and electrical load (electric)
  1. Analysis & Reporting
  • Plot performance curves and identify deviations
  • Document any deficiencies or non-compliance issues
  1. Recommendations & Follow-Up
  • Provide corrective action plans for repairs or adjustments
  • Schedule retests or ongoing maintenance contracts

Deliverables

  • Detailed Pass/Fail Test Report
  • Flow vs. Pressure Performance Curves
  • Comprehensive Inspection Checklist
  • Corrective Recommendations & Repair Estimates
  • Certification of Compliance for AHJ Submissions
