This document applies to centrifugal pumps without priming devices for fire-fighting use designed as
-- floating pumps (FPN-F),
-- submersible pumps (FPN-S) or
-- boosted pumps (FPN-B).
Fire-fighting centrifugal pumps without primer are defined as terminated by their inlet and outlet connections as well as by their shaft ends.
This document applies for fire-fighting centrifugal pumps without priming devices for use under ambient temperatures between -15 oC and 40 oC.
NOTE 1 For special conditions, -30 oC; see 6.11.
This document does not apply to fire-fighting centrifugal pumps without primer of which the only power source is directly applied manual effort.
This document does not apply to fire-fighting centrifugal pumps without primer, intended to be used as interchangeable equipment (i.e. combined by the user with another machine or vehicle acting as a driver).
This document does not apply to fire-fighting centrifugal pumps without primer with a nominal delivery pressure pN above 15 bar.
NOTE 2 High pressure pumps with primer are dealt with in EN 1028-1 and EN 1028-2.
This document specifies the classification and general requirements for fire-fighting centrifugal pumps without priming devices with a nominal delivery rate of up to 6 000 l/min.
