2. Verification methods
2.1 General method
Checks are carried out on a trial basis, and at several different levels, depending on the importance of the equipment in the process, its size, price and technical possibilities for testing.
-
Platform testing
Platform testing with proper installation is well suited to verifying hydraulic performance, as the conditions for testing and measuring are better: homogeneous flow at the pump inlet, suitable measuring points and instruments that are easier to control, presence of qualified personnel, measurement procedures.
These tests are also an opportunity to verify the correct operation of the unit in a broader sense than just checking the performance curve before shipment,...
