Compliance is checked by inspection and the following test:
A submersible pump is placed in a water container as in normal use and submersed fully in water
ensuring also the impeller and pump housing is filled with water. The container is then cooled to -10 C
and after -10 C is reached at the impeller, it is kept at -10 C for additional 4 h. Hereafter the pump is
left to thaw, and shall comply with test of clause 16. Following this, the pump is disassembled and
inspected for further damage which impairs compliance with this standard.
Other pumps are operated for 1h in normal operation and while keeping the pump housing filled with
water the pump is then cooled to -10 C. After -10 C is reached at the impeller, the pump is kept at -10
C for additional 4 h. Hereafter the pump is left to thaw, and shall comply with test of clause 16.
Following this, the pump is disassembled and inspected for further damage which impairs compliance
with this standard.
