Which pressure information must be included on ITM tags?

• A. The static pressure only
• B. The flowing pressure only
• C. The static and flowing pressure of the main drain test, taken at the time of inspection, testing, and maintenance service
• D. The dynamic pressure during operation

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is what the ITM tag must show from the main drain test. ITM tags document the results of the latest inspection, testing, and maintenance, so they need the actual test readings that prove the system performs as required. For the main drain test, that means recording both the static pressure (the pressure with no water flowing) and the flowing pressure (the pressure while water is flowing through the main drain). These two readings, captured at the time of the inspection/testing/maintenance service, give a complete snapshot of the system’s pressure under both no-flow and flow conditions, which is essential to verify pump performance, valve operation, and overall integrity. Recording only one value would miss how the system behaves under flow or at rest, and dynamic pressure during operation isn’t the standard main drain test documented on ITM tags.
