Oh, and BTW, taking those seasonal/local/whatever fluctuations into account IS noted in NFPA 13 - so one could argue correctly that it is a requirement of "code" (assuming your code references NFPA 13).

How many people, when requesting or performing a flow test or flow model, specify that the values be measured at peak seasonal and peak day demands? How much fluctuation does a given water system or zone experience in a day/week/month/year? How many of us review those fluctuations and factor them into a flow test once it's taken? ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service.
