For the high speed test the pumps run at 2000 R.P.M. and have to deliver a fixed minimum quantity in a given time. For the pressure test the delivery is cut off (at the end of the high speed delivery test) and the pressure is read off a water gauge and must be between fixed limits. Priming. It is interesting to note that the A.C. people are now about to incorporate a hand operated lever in their pump to be used for priming purposes. Ha/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
