What is another name for the capacity test (100 percent test)?

The capacity test, commonly referred to as the 100 percent test, is designed to determine the pump’s performance at its maximum rated capacity. This is a critical aspect of pump testing, as it ensures the pump operates effectively under expected conditions in real emergencies.

The other options mention specific pressure values (200 psi, 150 psi, 100 psi, or 300 psi); however, those refer to different pressure tests rather than the capacity test itself. The pressure tests are typically performed to certify the pump's ability to withstand certain pressures, but they do not directly evaluate how much water a pump can deliver based on its full operational capabilities. The 100 percent test specifically looks at the flow rate and performance at full capacity, making it distinct from the other psi tests mentioned.
