Water Flow Test Report

4 3 larger mains of higher capacity will require the simultaneous testing of several hydrants.

Water flow test report.

4 2 a typical town main can be tested at a single hydrant using a suitable flow and pressure test instrument. In order to use the flow test results in a water model you must create a 3 point pump curve. The design flow is the total flow from the test and the design head is equal to the residual pressure at hydrant 1. Click here for a sample fire hydrant flow test report.

The shutoff flow will always be 0 gpm. An alternative approach is to ask your county health department. The shutoff head is equal to the static pressure head at hydrant 1. You will receive a report that includes the static and residual pressure of the main and the flow rate at each hydrant.

4 1 the flow test procedure is carried out by measuring the flow of water available from the distribution system at the rating pressure. The report will be emailed or faxed to the attention of the person on the request letter. During the course of the test the water flow should be monitored and re measured every 15 minutes to make sure that a constant flow rate is maintained. Interpret your water test results many well owners need help understanding water test results.

One way to understand your results is to ask the lab that did the testing. The most common test involves measuring the flow of water flowing out of a municipal fire hydrant while recording how much the water pressure has dropped.
