I disagree with item 2. If you have no loss or gain of gpm in the system to the flow point and you measure the discharge pressure at the pump, where the gpm is read makes no difference and will not effect the fire pump curve.

Remember that the test header is just for pump flow test, in the same way a flowmeter is. So, as closer to the pump, more accurated will be the measuring.
