c.
Prerequisite Testing: Equipment for which performance testing is
dependent upon the completion of the work covered by Section 15950N
HVAC TESTING/ADJUSTING/BALANCING shall have that work completed
as a prerequisite to testing work under this section. Indicate in
each field test plan when such prerequisite work is required.
d.
Test Procedure: Indicate in each field test plan each equipment
manufacturer's published installation, start-up, and field
acceptance test procedures. Include in each test plan a detailed
step-by-step procedure for testing automatic controls provided by
the manufacturer. Each test plan shall include the required test
reporting forms to be completed by the Contractor's testing
representatives. Structure procedures to test the controls
through all modes of control to confirm that the controls are
performing with the intended sequence of control. Controllers
shall be verified to be properly calibrated and have the proper
set point to provide stable control of their respective equipment.
e.
Performance Variables: Each test plan shall list performance
variables that are required to be measured or tested as part of
the field test. Include in the listed variables performance
requirements indicated on the equipment schedules on the design
drawings. Furnish with each test procedure a description of
acceptable results that have been verified. Identify the
acceptable limits or tolerances within which each tested
performance variable shall acceptably operate.
f.
Job Specific: Each test plan shall be job specific and shall
address the particular item of equipment and particular conditions
which exist with this contract. Generic or general preprinted
test procedures are not acceptable.
g.
Specialized Components: Each test plan shall include procedures
for field testing and field adjusting specialized components, such
as hot gas bypass control valves, or pressure valves.
