Hydrant Testing  Fire hydrants are an important component within
public and private water supply networks. For public health and
firefighting operations, the hydrants should be tested on a
regular basis to ensure that they are capable of delivering
water at required pressures and flow rates. The distribution
systems are constantly impacted by improvements, deterioration,
changes in usage and even maintenance activities.  HUSA hydrant
test procedures are conducted in accordance with AWWA Fire Flow
Testing and ISO procedures. The tests include detailed
determination of both the flow and test hydrants, measuring of
static and residual test pressures, conducting sufficient
hydrant flow to adequately stress the system and the necessary
analyses to determine fire-flow capacities. HUSA has conducted
hydrant tests with multiple flow hydrants under varying system
boundary conditions to support engineering facility plan models
and identify operational conditions.
