Testing at shutof f hcad pressure (220 psig) will lift the relief and place the piping system at risk. There are no minimum flow line In in a letter from H. D. Brandes to F. Wyke dated August 15, 1988 test acceptanen criteria for the RY pumps is specified. In lieu of testing at shutoff head a test point of 1000 gpm is specified to meet the minimum flow requirement This, however, has not been incorporated into the licensee's test procedures, This is ident':fied as a deviation of the licensee's commitment to NFPA Code 20.
