Fire Pump Testing in Houston, TX
Annual flow tests and routine churn tests for electric and diesel fire pumps, with full documentation.
Prove Your Fire Pump Will Deliver
A fire pump boosts the water pressure your sprinkler system and standpipes need. It may sit idle for months, and when it is finally called on it has to start and deliver its rated flow straight away. Testing is the only way to know it will.
Reliable Fire Protection Houston tests fire pumps for commercial and industrial facilities across the Houston area, from start-up testing on new installations to annual flow tests from 100 to more than 5,000 gallons per minute, with troubleshooting for all major equipment. See all of our fire pump services.
Fire Pump Tests We Perform
- Churn tests: running the pump without flow on a weekly or monthly schedule, set by NFPA 25 for the pump type
- Annual flow tests: measuring the flow and pressure at set points and comparing them to the pump’s rated curve
- Start-up and acceptance tests on new or rebuilt pumps
- Controller tests: automatic start, alarms and transfer switches
- Diesel engine checks: fuel, batteries, cooling and run time
- Jockey pump operation and settings
How a Flow Test Works
1. Planned with you. We plan where the test water will go and notify your monitoring company before we start.
2. Run and measured. We run the pump at the required flow points and record the flow, pressure and speed.
3. Compared to the curve. We compare the results to the pump’s rated performance and earlier tests.
4. Documented. You get a written report. If the pump falls short, our team can repair it: repacks, controller repairs and major repairs.
