4 Assessment methods and criteria
4.1 Characteristic curves, minimum flow and rotational speed tests
4.1.1 Assessment method
Pump characteristic curves shall be drawn for the rated speed condition. The highest flow to be shown in
the curves shall be sufficient to demonstrate a non-overloading power characteristic or a flow
corresponding to at least NPSHr of 16 m.
In case of non-overloading power characteristic, all curves shall be shown including values which are
minimum 15 % higher than the flow at the maximum power consumption.
The flow, power consumption, NPSHr and the corresponding delivery head shall be determined in
accordance with EN ISO 9906:2012, Grade 2. The measurement uncertainty as specified in
EN ISO 9906:2012, Grade 2B shall be applied.
NOTE For examples, see Annex A.
Type tests and conversion of test data shall be undertaken using methods in accordance with
EN ISO 9906:2012, Grade 2B and the tolerances given there.
Where there are a range of impeller diameters, tests shall include the maximum and minimum impeller
diameters. Performance between tested impeller diameters can be interpolated in accordance with
EN ISO 9906:2012, 6.2 for changes not exceeding ± 4 % in impeller diameter.
Inlet, outlet and threaded connections shall be in accordance with appropriate National, European or
International Standards. Casing wear rings shall be fitted and shall be prevented from rotating.
The test data required for the purpose of evaluation in accordance with EN ISO 9906:2012, are
established at a minimum of 7 points uniformly distributed between the lowest rate of flow and the
highest rate of flow to be measured. The lowest rate of flow to be measured shall be between zero and
the minimum by-pass flow. NPSHr shall be determined for minimum and maximum impeller diameters
and speeds at 5 points between 0,3 Q and the highest flow, where Q is the rated flow. The highest flow
r r
to be measured shall be sufficient to demonstrate a non-overloading power characteristic or a flow
corresponding to at least NPSHr of 16m.
Pump characteristic curve conversions for alternative drivers with speeds between the minimum and
maximum tested speeds shall be converted using the formula (see also EN ISO 9906:2012, Clause 6):
x
n
sp
NPSHr = NPS
