(1) Pump system procedure:
(a) Record the system suction and discharge pressure
gauge readings
(b) Check the pump packing glands for slight discharge
(c) Adjust gland nuts if necessary
(d) Check for unusual noise or vibration
(e) Check packing boxes, bearings, or pump casing for
overheating
(f) Record the pump starting pressure
(2) Electrical system procedure:
(a) Observe the time for motor to accelerate to full speed
(b) Record the time controller is on first step (for reduced
voltage or reduced current starting)
(c) Record the time pump runs after starting (for automatic
stop controllers)
(3) Diesel engine system procedure:
(a) Observe the time for engine to crank
(b) Observe the time for engine to reach running speed
(c) Observe the engine oil pressure gauge, speed indicator,
water, and oil temperature indicators periodically
while engine is running
(d) Record any abnormalities
(e) Check the heat exchanger for cooling water flow
(4) Steam system procedure:
(a) Record the steam pressure gauge reading
(b) Observe the time for turbine to reach running speed
