I just want to add to Mike's and Lamar's posts (for the Sprink seriously in need of getting a life)- look at FIGURE A.8.16.2.4 Unacceptable Pressure Gauge Location. I belive this is similar to a single hydrant flow test. Like Lamar said, it is slightly less than two hydrant flow. The reason is that more of the potential goes into kinetic energy, because the velociity where the gage is NORMAL is higher. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Harris [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2011 8:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Flow Test
I swear I once read that a single hydrant flow test was acceptable, maybe in limited instances, but I can't seem to find anything on it. Any ideas?
