NFPA 20 Number & Size of hose valves on test header? 1

[ContractorDave]

NFPA 20, table 5.25 lays out the test header valve configuration, but specifies 'centrifugal' pumps. Any thoughts as to why this is, or is this table be used for all types of fire pumps?

Also, there is the matter of the 200psi hydrostatic test required by 13R.

5.19.3.1* General.
5.19.3.1.1 Hose valves shall be listed.
5.19.3.1.2 The number and size of hose valves used for pump testing shall be as specified in Section 5.25.
