- Proper Functionality: Tests confirm that the pump operates at the required pressure and can deliver water effectively during a fire.
- Compliance with Standards: Regular pressure tests ensure that the pump meets NFPA 20 and other relevant safety standards.
- Early Detection of Issues: Pressure testing identifies leaks, system weaknesses, or malfunctions before they escalate into serious safety risks.
- Performance Verification: Testing under varying conditions ensures that the pump will perform optimally under actual emergency situations.
- System Integrity: Pressure tests validate that all connections, valves, and fittings are secure and can withstand operational demands.
