• Connect the dots. If your plotted line reason-
ably matches the specification plot on the
chart, the pump is fine. If your line is to the
lower left of the specification plot, the pump is
getting weak. If your line is to the upper right,
you have done the test incorrectly, or you are
using the wrong chart. In our example, the
pump is okay. (See the plot that follows.)
Check the second pump. Hook up the flowmeter just as
when you checked the first pump. Again, be sure that
you have the correct speed, gear, chart, and so on. This
time our example will have worse results.
