1. Pump

1. Conduct flow test to verify pump output.

Test may be through a flow meter returning the water to a storage reservoir or through the test header. Recirculation of water to the suction piping is not permitted. In a multi-pump installation, each pump may be tested separately at not less than 100 percent design capacity for

30 minutes.

3.9: Clean Agent Systems

Detection devices for actuation are addressed in paragraph 2-2.2. Technical guidance on the tasks is contained in NFPA 2001.

Table-3.9.1: Clean Agent Systems ITM Tasks

1. Piping

1. Inspect piping and nozzles for condition and orientation.

2. Flexible Hoses 1. Inspect for damage.

3. Storage Vessels

1. Inspect the exterior of storage containers

(tanks, spheres, cylinders).

4. Agent and Propellant

1. Verify adequate quantity of agent.

2. Verify adequate pressure of agent/propellant and pressure gauge within operating range.

5. Actuators

1. Inspect manual actuators for accessibility.

2. Test actuation without agent release.

6. Auxiliary Equipment

1. Test to verify that interfaces (equipment shutdown, dampers, and door closures) operate properly and are activated by the system actuation.

7. Valves 1. Verify that the valves are in proper alignment.

2 Years 1. Protected Enclosure or Room

1. Inspect the enclosure to verify integrity and ability to maintain agent concentration.

WARNING

To prevent accidental release of extinguishing agents to the environment, do not disconnect and weigh cylinders to accomplish the annual agent quantity verification. Disconnecting cylinders to verify agent quantity damages seals and O-rings. Only liquid level methods should be used to determine agent quantity.

P a g e 23 | 37

Table-3.9.2: Clean Agent Systems ITM Tasks

1. Cylinders

1. Perform complete external inspection of non-discharged cylinders to ensure suitability for use.

2. Flexible Hoses

1. Pressure test hoses to ensure suitability for use.

As Required

1. Protected Enclosure/Room

1. Inspect the enclosure to verify integrity and ability to maintain agent concentration.

2. After Modification to Compartment/Protected

Enclosure

1. If uncertainty exists, follow the enclosure procedures in NFPA 2001.

1. Visually check:

• Pipe hangers.

• Nozzle for obstruction.

• Piping for leaks.

• Riser condition.

2. Ensure:

• Detectors unblocked/uncovered.

• Panels secured and indicator lamps functional.

• Notification appliances in place.

• Manual stations in place and unobstructed.

• Nozzle covers in place.

• Pressure gauge within operating range.

WARNING

To prevent accidental release of extinguishing agents to the environment, do not disconnect and weigh cylinders to accomplish the annual agent quantity verification. Disconnecting cylinders to verify agent quantity damages seals and O-rings. Only liquid level methods should be used to determine agent quantity.
