FORWARD FLOW TESTING

FORWARD FLOW TESTING

FORWARD FLOW TESTING

(OP)

Up front I apologize if this was covered somewhere else!

Q1: What are some of the typical "approved" and or listed design schemes being used to provide a means for meeting the forward flow testing requirements of 13/25 with system demand and hose stream?

Q2: Will a test of the fire pump at 100 % rated capacity achieve sufficient verification that the BF or RPZ meets the forward flow testing requirement in 13?

Q3: If there is not a fire pump on the system does one revert to the answers to Q1 above?

Thanks!
