The hydrant flow test calculator measures the rated capacity at 20 psi of a fire hydrant.
Measure record i d.
Static pressure is taken on a residual hydrant with other hydrants closed.
Water main pressures are recorded by conducting a residual fire flow test per nfpa 291.

Qr qf x hr 0 54 hf 0 54 qr flow rate predicted at the desired residual pressure in gpm.
Take readings simultaneously after pressure at the residual hydrant has stabilized d.

Fire hydrant flow test analysis equation awwa 2006 p.
The rated capacity calculation is useful in determining the total water supply at a given point in the hydrant or water main.
Fire hydrant flow test results calculator.
52 fire hydrant flow and pressure tests fire hydrants are tested to determine flow and pressure.
The calculation offers more useful information than the test flow by itself and is used by insurance underwriters.
Residual testing requires at least 2 hydrants.
One person at residual hydrant one at the flow hydrant b.
Computes the flow rate available at a specified residual pressure a k a.
The hydrant flow test calculator measures the rated capacity at 20 psi of a fire hydrant.
Then an adjacent flow hydrant is opened and flow rates are measured at the same time the residual pressure is recorded on the residual.
The example below enables you to find the predicted flow rate at 20 psi residual pressure.
A fire hydrant flow test is a process of flowing water out of at least one fire hydrant while obtaining the required pressures static residual and pitot needed to calculate the amount of water in gallons per minute gpm that the water system is capable of providing between the tested hydrants.

Secondary psi before flowing.
Then hydrant 1 is opened so that water discharges from it.
Projected available hydrant flow.
Fire hydrant flow test determine the flow rate and pressure in any location through out a water company s or water authority s underground water distribution system.
Fire hydrants are tested regularly to ensure that they are capable of providing water at an acceptable pressure and flow rate foe public health and firefighting operations.
The main can be expected to flow about.
