Can someone more versed in converting flow tests results walk me through how to interpret some results we received from a water authority?
Specifically, we typically get the static and residual pressure from Hydrant1, get the pitot pressure and coefficient from Hydrant 2, and then use
29.83 x c x d^2 x √p to get our gpm. The results would then be plotted to get our curve or input into our CAD program.
We received a flow test from a water authority however, that used 2 (2.5") outlets on 2 different hydrants, and gave observed flow results from the residual hydrant. My very long question shortened is, how does the "observed flow" factor in, or does it?
