Instructions Field Test Instructions These field test templates are designed for universal usage and may require changes to meet certain test specifications. They are divided into three separate installation categories - - Above ground centrifugals, Submersible centrifugals, and Vertical Turbines. The Above Ground and Turbine spread sheets provide for multiple tests at the same operating point or single tests at multiple operating points. In the latter case, a test curve is generated on page 3 if the test points for increasing flow are entered from left to right. The Submersible spread sheet creates a scatter chart on page 3 for single or multiple test points. Page 2 is reserved for notes, observations or test data not shown on page 1. The data necessary to perform the calculations are self explanatory and the required units are shown to the left of the cells. The equations used to calculate the results are shown on the right side of the spread sheet. The test point HP is calculated using average amperage and voltage. If you would rather use a KW meter, enter the readings in the KW cells and replace the "Motor HP @ Test Point" equation with the following equation ((KW x eff x PF) / 746)). KW, motor eff and PF are all entered values and their cell locations are entered into this equation. It is assumed that the suction and discharge gauges will be located at the centerlines. If they are substantially above or below, correct the actual gauge readings before entering the test data. When printing, set the view to "landscape" and reduce the page size to 75% of full size.
