    NFPA 20 : Low suction pressure & flow at fire pump

    LittleInch, what do you mean by random data, thats the hydrant test flow data( canada) & Pump. Its clear that 4" doesnt work, its on NFPA 20 Table 4.28 .tested as per NFPA 291, to understnd static and dynamic & hydrant testing. its a design problem, i have a new consultant working on it, just...
