SYSTEM TESTS:

	Prior to delivery to the customer, the completed apparatus will pass the following tests, which will be performed by the apparatus manufacturer:

	The apparatus manufacturer will test the operation of the water pump and air compressor system simultaneously to determine the integrity of the system and to ensure that there is adequate power available to operate these components as a complete compressed air foam system.  The compressed air source will be operated to flow 140 SCFM at a minimum of 125 PSIG and the water pump will discharge 400 GPM at 125-PSI net pump pressure through separate discharge outlets for a period of one (1) hour.  Readings of the airflow rate and pressure, and the water pump pressure and discharge rate will be taken and recorded at least every ten (10) minutes.  

	A standby run test will be performed in which the CAFS is operated to discharge finished foam through 200 feet of 1-1/2" hose at 125 PSI.  With the apparatus booster tank at 1/2 full, the valve at the end of the hose will be closed no faster than in 3 seconds and no slower than in 10 seconds, and the engine speed maintained for 10 minutes without discharging water, air or foam solution.  At the end of 10 minutes, the valve will be reopened no faster than in 3 seconds and no slower than in 10 seconds.  Any damage to the system that affects its rated performance characteristics or the lack of a fire stream immediately upon opening the hose line valve will constitute failure of this test.  No exceptions will be allowed to these test requirements.
