reading & water flow measurements shall be through flow meters. Computed
results shall tally with the specified capacities and those furnished by the
contractor.
e) Gas Consumption Test: Consumption of natural gas shall be calculated by

observing difference in meter readings over a predetermined time period.
Specific consumption shall be calculated by recording the refrigeration capacity
during the same period. The results should establish that the consumption is not
exceeding the figures committed by the contractor.
f) All instruments, services needed for the tests required for the computation of
capacities and power consumption shall be furnished by the contractor. All
instruments shall be calibrated and the contractors shall produce calibration
certificates.
g) Contractor shall furnish detailed certificates of the tests carried out on Test Bed
in his factory. Test certificates shall essentially contain the results of continuous
eight (8) hours operation at full load for all the rated parameters.
