1. Start the pump following the standard procedure detailed in the manual. 2. Adjust the pump flow using the brench regulating valve. 3. Use the variable speed control unit to correct any changes in pump speed. 4. Start the test with the regulating valve fully closed and the speed of pumpl should be 1500 RPM. pump2 be 2500 RPM and pump 3 be 3000RPM. 5. Open the regulating valve to allow the pump to produce a discharge flow. Adjust variable speed control unit maintain the pump speed of 1500 RPM, 2500RPM and 3000 RPM. 6. Measure the flow rate by Rotameter and record the reading. 7. Repeat the test using different pump speed of 1500 RPM, 2500 RPM and 3000 RPM. 8. For accuracy, repeat the test and take averages.
