About this file
The document is an Annual Fire Pump Flow Test report prepared by National Fire Protection, LLC for the fire pump system located in the basement of Cardozo High School in Washington, DC, conducted on December 14, 2023. The inspection was performed in accordance with NFPA 25 Standard for Inspection, Test, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems (2014 edition). The test comprehensively evaluated the fire pump's performance, including electrical systems, pressure readings, flow rates, and supervisory device functionality.
The test results indicate that the fire pump system is functioning within acceptable parameters, with all critical components passing inspection. Key measurements include a rated pump capacity of 1000 GPM at 80 PSI, with test points showing measured flows of 1028 GPM and 1516 GPM at various pressure levels. The inspection verified that the pump's voltage, amperage, speed, and pressure readings were within the manufacturer's specified ranges, and all supervisory devices like phase reversal, power monitoring, and running status checks were successfully tested and passed.
