**************************************************************************
After completing elevators system installation, notify Contracting Officer
that elevator system is ready for final inspection and acceptance test.
[Contracting Officer will obtain services of Naval Facilities Engineering
Command certified elevator inspector.] Contractor shall perform all
required tests and demonstrate proper operation of each elevator system and
prove that each system complies with contract requirements and ASME A17.1.
Inspection procedures in ASME A17.2.2 form a part of this inspection and
acceptance testing. Conduct all testing and inspections in the presence of
both the Elevator Specialist and the Elevator Inspector. Demonstrate the
proper operation of all equipment at various date settings, selected by the
Elevator Inspector, ranging from the date of contract award through 1
January 2099. The Elevator Inspector shall complete, sign and post the
results of all tests and inspection results [and form NAVFACENGCOM
9-11014/23 (Rev. 7-88), Elevator Inspection Certificate] after successful
completion of inspection and testing. The Contractor is responsible for
all costs involved with reinspection and retesting required to correct
discrepancies discovered during testing and the subsequent retesting
required [,including all costs and expenses incurred by the Government
Furnished Inspector.]
3.2.1
Testing Materials and Instruments
Furnish testing materials and instruments required for final inspection.
Include calibrated test weights, tachometer, 600-volt megohm meter, volt
meter and ammeter, three Celsius calibrated thermometers, door pressure
gage, spirit level, stop watch, hydraulic pressure test gauge, and a 30
meter 100 foot tape measure.
3.2.2
Field Tests
The Contractor shall submit Field Tests Reports after completing each of
the specified tests, as required in the Submittals paragraph.
3.2.2.1
Endurance Tests
Test each elevator for a period of one hour continuous run, with specified
rated load in the car. Restart the one hour test period from beginning,
following any shutdown or failure. During the test run, stop car at each
floor in both directions of travel for standing period of 10 seconds per
floor. The requirements for Rated Speed, Leveling, Temperature Rise, and
Motor Amperes testing specified herein shall be met throughout the duration
of the Endurance test.
3.2.2.2
Automatic Shutoff Valve Tests
Test the automatic shutoff valve twice. Once at beginning of acceptance
test and again at conclusion of one-hour Endurance test to ensure
consistent performance of shutoff valve, regardless of temperature of
equipment and oil.
3.2.2.3
Speed Tests
Determine actual speed of each elevator in both directions with rated load
and with no load in elevator car. Make Speed tests before and immediately
after Endurance test. Determine speed by tachometer reading, excluding
accelerating and slow-down zones per ASME A17.2.2, Section 2.22.4. Minimum
acceptable speed is the Rated Speed as specified. Maximum acceptable
