3.2.3 Pump performance: The performance of the furnished pumps shall be determined by a series of test
points sufficient in number to develop a constant speed curve over the range of total heads, from 5.0 feet
to 50.0 feet (or to shut off head) inclusive, for the speeds involved. Tests shall be made using specified
