This standard prescribes the functional, design, and performance requirements for a 680-litres per minute capacity trailer-mounted pump used by fire brigades. Engineers and procurement officers use this code to ensure the reliability, material quality, and testing compliance of emergency fire fighting pumps.
Functional Requirements for 680-1/Min Trailer Pump For Fire Brigade Use
Quick Reference Values
Rated capacity680 l/min
Rated pressure7 kgf/cm² (approx 0.7 MPa)
Maximum suction lift7 m
Maximum priming time for 7m lift24 seconds
Fuel tank minimum capacitySufficient for 2 hours continuous operation at full load
Practical Notes
Regularly test the vacuum holding capacity of the priming system; air leaks in suction hoses or pump casings are the most common cause of priming failure during emergencies.
Ensure the trailer chassis towing eye, suspension, and braking mechanisms are well-maintained to meet rapid deployment road transport requirements.
