Electric Motor Fire Pump Test Bench — ToronFT™ EMF
The ToronFT™ EMF Electric Motor Fire Pump Test Bench is a high-capacity hydraulic test system engineered for the complete performance qualification of electric motor-driven fire pumps. Designed to accommodate fire pumps from DN25 to DN250, the ToronFT™ EMF delivers the flow rate, pressure range, and measurement capability required to execute the full suite of fire pump qualification tests — including flow and pressure performance mapping, sealing testing, hydrostatic strength testing, continuous operation testing, and coupling starting cycle testing — all from a single integrated platform.
The fire pump comprehensive performance test bench integrates a water storage tank, high-pressure and low-pressure pump infrastructure, precision measuring instruments, and a computer-integrated control cabinet to provide automated, traceable test data for fire pump certification and quality assurance programs across a broad range of pump sizes and performance classes.

Theory and Method
Fire pump performance testing measures the hydraulic output (flow rate and pressure), shaft power, and pump efficiency across the full operating range of the pump — from shut-off (zero flow) through rated flow to maximum flow — to generate a complete pump performance curve. The ToronFT™ EMF delivers controlled water flow from the low-pressure pump (0–0.7 MPa, 100 m³/H) through the test pump, while the high-pressure pump (0.5–4.5 MPa, 12.5 m³/H) provides the elevated pressure conditions required for hydrostatic strength and sealing tests.
The computer-integrated control cabinet manages test sequencing, acquires flow, pressure, speed, and power data from the measuring instruments, and calculates pump efficiency in real time. Continuous operation and coupling starting cycle tests evaluate the pump's mechanical endurance under repeated start-stop and sustained operating conditions, providing the data required for certification and long-term reliability qualification.
