Hydrant Flow Test

Fire Hydrant Flow Testing Services

Reliable fire hydrants are essential for protecting lives, property, and ensuring adequate water supply during fire emergencies. Our certified mechanical engineers perform thorough hydrant flow testing in accordance with NFPA 291 and local fire code requirements to verify hydrant performance, water availability, and system reliability.

Why Hydrant Flow Testing Matters

Regular hydrant flow testing provides critical data for fire protection planning and code compliance:

  • Water Supply Verification: Confirms that available water flow and pressure meet fire suppression requirements

  • System Reliability: Identifies hidden issues such as closed valves, sediment buildup, or mechanical defects

  • Code Compliance: Ensures hydrants are tested and documented per NFPA and AHJ regulations

  • Fire Department Support: Provides accurate flow data for emergency response planning and insurance documentation

Our Testing Process

  1. Pre-Test Planning – Review hydrant locations, system maps, and pressure zones
  2. Static & Residual Pressure Testing – Measure baseline and flow pressures to evaluate system capacity
  3. Flow Measurement – Use calibrated diffusers, gauges, and pitot tubes to collect accurate flow data
  4. System Analysis – Identify bottlenecks, pressure drops, or insufficient capacity
  5. Reporting & Recommendations – Deliver detailed flow curves, compliance certificates, and corrective actions if needed

Deliverables

  • Flow test data (static, residual, and pitot pressure readings)
  • Hydraulic analysis and system performance curves
  • Pass/fail compliance report for AHJ submission
  • Corrective recommendations for deficiencies
