Get Hydrant Flow Test Form

Conduct the test Record static pressure reading from gauge cap. Slowly open hydrant using the gate valve to purge air from the hydrant. When hydrant is full of water, open gate valve to desired flow-rate (usually full open). When the flow-rate stabilizes, Record nozzle pressure from the remote reader.

Per NFPA 291, the body of all public fire hydrants should be chrome yellow, unless another color has already been adopted as a standard for the community. A fire hydrant fresh from the factory is typically this chrome yellow color to make it highly visible.

The standard requires a minimum of 10 L/s to flow from each required feed hydrant outlet, regardless of location.

To determine how many flow hydrants are needed, keep in mind that NFPA 291 recommends flowing enough water to provide at least a 10% drop in residual pressure compared to the static pressure (4.4. 6).

2) recommends that fire hydrants should maintain a residual pressure of 20 psi (pounds per square inch), or 1.4 bar, for effective firefighting, as well as to prevent backflow that could contaminate the public water supply.

NFPA 291 provides guidance on fire flow tests and marking of hydrants in order to determine and indicate the relative available fire service water supply from hydrants and to identify possible deficiencies which could be corrected to ensure adequate fire flows as needed.

The standard requires a minimum of 10 L/s to flow from each required feed hydrant outlet, regardless of location.

A hydrant flow test is performed for a specific area by using three fire hydrants. A pressure gauge is placed on one hydrant to record the static pressure; this is hydrant #1. The remaining two hydrants are opened to allow water to flow out as fast as possible.

NFPA 291 stipulates hydrant flow tests every five years to ensure that changing conditions in the piping and system demands won't impede hydrants' ability to deliver water. 4.15. 1 Public fire hydrants should be flow tested every 5 years to verify capacity and marking of the hydrant.

NFPA 291 requires that fire hydrant flow tests be performed every 5 years and fire hydrant inspections be performed annually. Inspections and testing should be performed by a licensed professional.
