3.1.2 Castings: Each casting shall have a mark number cast or stamped upon it. In addition, each casting

weighing more than 500 pounds shall have the heat number cast or stamped upon it. Warped or otherwise

distorted castings that are oversize to an extent that could interfere with proper fit with other parts of the

machinery or structure will be rejected. Cracked castings of non-weldable materials (i.e., cast iron, etc.) will

be rejected. Repairs to castings shall not be made without prior approval.

3.1.2.1 Casting repair: Castings shall have all unsound material or defects removed by chipping, machining,

air-arc gouging, or grinding; and shall be repaired by welding. Welding repairs shall conform to the welding

procedures which shall have been submitted and approved for the type material involved. Stress relief

annealing, where required, shall be accomplished prior to final machining.

to provide an LN-2 fit.

3.1.6 Holes for high-strength bolts shall be accurately spaced, perpendicular to the member, and cylindrical.

If the thickness of the material is greater than the diameter of the bolt, the holes shall be either drilled full

size or shall be sub-drilled and then reamed to full size. Poor matching of holes will be cause for rejection.

Drifting done during assembly shall not distort the metal or enlarge the holes. For slight mismatching,

reaming to a larger diameter for the next standard size bolt will be allowed.

3.2 FACTORY TEST:

3.2.1 General: All pumps provided shall be factory tested and have certified factory test curves. No pumps

shall be delivered to the project work site until the factory testing has been completed for that pump and

3.2.2 Performance Test: The test shall be sufficiently extensive and complete to demonstrate that the

proposed pump operates without instability and complies with the required performance. Compliance with

the contract requirements will be determined from the curves required below. The temperature of the water

used for testing shall be approximately the same for all test runs.

3.2.3 Pump performance: The performance of the furnished pumps shall be determined by a series of test

points sufficient in number to develop a constant speed curve over the range of total heads, from 5.0 feet

to 50.0 feet (or to shut off head) inclusive, for the speeds involved. Tests shall be made using specified

heads and a suction water elevation above the motor. Head differentials between adjacent test points shall

not exceed 2.0 feet. If the plot of the data indicates a possibility of instability in the head versus capacity

curve, a sufficient number of additional points shall be made to clearly define the head-capacity

characteristics.

3.2.4 Test results: The results of the tests shall be plotted to show total head, brake horsepower, net positive

suction head required, and efficiency as ordinates; all plotted against the pump discharge in gallons per

minute as the abscissa. The above curves shall be plotted to a scale that shall permit reading head directly

to five-tenths of one foot, capacity to 100 gallons per minute, efficiency to one percent, and power input to

2 horsepower. Net positive suction head required data may be based on original design data or previous

test information.

3.2.5 Test Report: Each test report shall include as a minimum the following:

(a) A description of test procedure used.

(b) A discussion of test results.

(c) Conclusions.

defects or deviations from contract requirements which could render the items unsuitable for the use

intended, the Contractor shall repair each such identified deficiency. In the event deficiencies cannot be

acceptably corrected, the equipment will be subject to rejection.

assembled and wired as feasible to minimize site installation work. The manufacturer's standard packing

method, as approved, for the pumps shall be submitted at least 10 calendar days prior to the shipping date.
