readings taken during the runs. Runs shall be made at four
different loads 30, 50, 70, and 100 percent of boiler rating
during which both heat loss and input-output data shall be taken.
Predict unmeasured losses used in conjunction with heat loss
calculations and include with equipment data when submitted for
approval. Subsequent tests required because of failure of the
equipment to perform adequately during specified capacity and
efficiency tests shall be the financial responsibility of the
Contractor, including the cost of fuel.
b.
Should analysis of the fuel being burned during performance tests
vary from that specified as the performance fuel, adjust
guarantees in accordance with accepted engineering practice to
determine compliance. Carbon loss shall be determined in
accordance with ABMA 103.
3.2.5.9
Temporary Waste Steam Connection
When necessary to obtain sufficient load for these tests, provide a
temporary steam line at a point outside the building. Provide necessary
pipe, fittings, supports, anchors and appurtenances including a field
fabricated silencer as directed by the Contracting Officer. Remove
temporary piping and silencer after satisfactorily completing tests.
[3.2.5.10
Fire Safety for Oil-Fired Boilers
Conduct tests as necessary to determine compliance with the applicable UL
Safety Standards. The presence of the applicable Underwriters' label may
be accepted as evidence of compliance in this respect.
a.
Oil-fired Boilers:
Meet test requirements of UL 726.
b.
Oil Burners:
Meet test requirements of UL 296.

Plant Acceptance Operation
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Include bracketed portion if project is for
coal fired installation with flue gas
desulfurization system.
**************************************************************************
After satisfactory completion of tests specified, operate the complete
plant including each boiler [, its related flue gas cleaning equipment] and
subsystems for a period of 30 continuous 24 hour operational days prior to
final acceptance by the Government. Furnish labor, chemicals, test
equipment and apparatus; the Government will furnish fuel, electricity and
water. During this 30 day period, provide readily available, the services
of qualified representatives from manufacturers of plant components and
systems for the purpose of additional operational assistance, component and
system adjustment and repairs. Government personnel will observe
Contractor's operational procedures and will be asking pertinent questions,
which the Contractor's representatives shall answer, about plant operation.

NAVFACENGCOM Acceptance
Operational, piping systems, auxiliary equipment and accessory tests shall
be conducted prior to requesting an acceptance inspection by a Naval
Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFACENGCOM) Boiler Inspector. The
