Damage control.
The Force Revision that comes every quarter has been creating some questions around the fleet. The first question that came up was about the 36M-1 for hydrostatically testing the fire hoses.
Question 1: Does the hydrostatic testing requirement of NSTM 505, section 505-11.1.3 and JFMM Volume IV, Chapter 9, Appendix B through D apply while testing the fire hoses? NSTM 505 does not apply to fire hose. NSTM 505.11 sections are applicable to the piping systems listed and as referenced in 505.11.1.1. Requirements of 505.11.1.3 are applicable to the piping systems cited in the preceding paragraphs of 505.11. Fire hoses also are not governed by the requirements of NAVSEA Technical Directive S6430-AE-TED-010, Volume 1 cited in 505.10.6. The Appendices in the JFFM are also for piping systems and supplement information contained in NSTM 505. Fire hose testing mirrors the requirements for commercial testing of fire hoses in National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 1962.
Question 2: What test gage accuracy is required? Test gage(s) range and accuracy. Typically hydrostatic testing is conducted with two gages with the proper range and accuracy. The two gage requirement is part of NSTM 505.11.3. and applies to piping system hydrostatic testing and is not applicable to fire hoses. The gage on the test rig cited in the MRC is required to be calibrated under general guidance for test devices.
Question 3: Are two relief valves (automatic and manual, may be two manual relief valves) required? Can the nozzle serve as ...
