本文旨在解决现场测量离心泵性能的问题:在什么扬程下输送多少液体，在什么效率或能量输入下？重点将放在与空间加热和冷却以及工业用水应用的系统平衡或系统性能相关领域的实际问题上。虽然将参考工厂内的泵测试作为相关原则的指南，但基本讨论将限于现场测试，这必然比车间或实验室测试更接近。除了讨论泵的现场测试外，还将提出一些建议，以确定可能与泵性能有关的其他问题，以及在确定泵性能之前必须消除的问题。引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，第80卷，第2部分，蒙特利尔，QC

This paper proposes to deal with the problem of measuring the performance of centrifugal pumps in the field: How much liquid is being delivered at what pump head and at what efficiency or energy input? Emphasis will be on practical problems in the field associated with system balance or system performance for space heating and cooling and service water applications. While some reference will be made to pump testing in the factory as a guide to the principles involved, the basic discussion will be limited to field testing which is necessarily more approximate than shop or laboratory testing. In addition to discussing field testing of pumps, some suggestions will be made for identifying other problems which may be related to pump performance and which must be eliminated before pump performance can be determined.
