Which set of information should be included when documenting a pump run for compliance?

• A. Run time and model only.
• B. Discharge pressures and flows only.
• C. Gauge readings alone.
• D. Run time, pump model, engine RPM, discharge pressures, flows, gauge readings, and any anomalies or corrective actions.

Answer: (D)

Complete pump run documentation must capture how the test was executed and how the pump performed. Recording run time shows how long the pump operated during the test; documenting the pump model ties the data to a specific asset; engine RPM confirms the drive speed and helps correlate performance with mechanical conditions. Discharge pressures and flows reveal whether the pump met the required targets for pressure and volume, while gauge readings provide additional verification of system pressures at critical points. Noting any anomalies or corrective actions documents issues encountered and how they were addressed, which is essential for safety, accountability, and future reference. Together, these elements create a verifiable, audit-ready record for compliance and ongoing maintenance. Partial documentation, such as only run time and model, or only pressures and flows, misses important context and the ability to assess overall performance and response to issues.
