Introduction

Manual firefighting facilities and water-based fire extinguishing systems depend upon the presence of an adequate water supply to be effective. To be considered adequate, a water supply must possess sufficient flow, pressure, and capacity to meet the greatest fire protection demand for the anticipated duration. Water supply testing provides the data needed to evaluate water supply adequacy. This booklet provides guidance on the testing of water supplies and the analysis of water supply adequacy. Hydraulic tables are provided to support the analysis of water supply test data. Water supply sources

Water supplies may be provided by town or private water systems. Town systems may deliver water by gravity using elevated tanks or reservoirs, by pump, or by a combination of both. Private supplies may include:

• Elevated tanks or reservoirs • Fire pumps taking suction from static sources of water such

as cisterns, ground tanks, reservoirs, ponds, or rivers • Fire pumps taking suction from pressurized sources of

water such as town mains, elevated tanks, or elevated reservoirs

• Pressurized tanks

Types of water supplies

Gravity supplies

Gravity supplies include gravity tanks (tanks elevated on legs) as well as tanks or reservoirs elevated on high ground. These supplies can feed either a town or private system. Pumping supplies

Pumping supplies consist of one or more pumps taking suction from:

• A gravity source (gravity tank, elevated reservoir) • A static source (reservoir, cistern, ground tank) • Another pump

Combination supplies

Combined supplies will consist of gravity and pumping supplies feeding into a common system. The following photos and images provide examples of gravity and pumping supplies.

Water flow test devices

Each water supply should include a means to conduct a flow test. Fire pumps taking suction from a static source

The ideal test device is a flowmeter discharging back to the water source. Where the test device discharges water to the ground, water will be wasted requiring tank refill once testing is complete. Fire pump supplied from a town main

The test device may be either a flowmeter or a test header discharging water to the ground. Where there is a desire to avoid wasting water, a flowmeter may be piped back to fire pump suction; however, tests performed with this arrangement:

• Will not test the fire pump water supply as water will only be recirculated

• Will not produce valid suction and discharge gauge readings • Will produce valid fire pump net pressure readings

(discharge pressure – suction pressure) Where a flowmeter is piped back to fire pump suction to conserve water, at least one test every three years should be conducted using a test header or flowmeter discharging water to the ground. This is necessary to verify the fire pump water supply and obtain an actual fire pump discharge curve. The following photos are of various types of devices used for flow testing.

Elevated tanks and reservoirs

Fire hydrants or other similar outlets will typically be used for testing elevated tanks or reservoirs. Test equipment

Test equipment should be calibrated and in good condition. Where a flow meter is used, its performance should be periodically verified by calibration or comparison to an actual flow test using a pitot tube and calibrated test gauge. Testing

The following table provides an outline of water supply features and recommended test frequencies.

Table 1. Water supply test frequencies Table 1. Water supply test frequencies

Feature Test Frequency Fire pump Automatic start Weekly Fire pump Capacity test Annual Private fire hydrant Flow test Annual Private elevated supply Flow test Annual Private fire main loop Loop test 2 years Public hydrant Flow test 5 years

Test the automatic start of all fire pumps on a weekly basis. Allow electric motor driven fire pumps to operate for at least 10 minutes to dissipate heat form the motor-start inrush current. Allow diesel engine driven fire pumps to operate for at least 30 minutes to bring the engine up to operating temperature, drive moisture from the crankcase, lubricate internal engine surfaces, and reduce the potential for internal corrosion.

Test flow rate

Water tests should be conducted at a flow rate that equals or exceeds the greatest fire protection demand flow rate. The test should actually verify the physical availability of the needed flow rate.

13

Flow tests should not be extrapolated beyond the range of the test conducted. Fire hydrant flow tests

Fire hydrant flow tests are useful when water test data is needed remote from a water source. The fire hydrant flow tests can be used on a town main system or a private fire main system. Special notes for town main systems

Where the test involves the use of fire hydrants or the operation of valves on a town main system, it is essential to have the agency responsible for the town main system to authorize and perform the test. Should our customer fail to gain permission, fines may be leveed for unauthorized use of the town water system. A test of a town system should be pursued for locations depending upon the town mains to provide the water supply for either automatic or manual fire protection systems. The water supply available from a town main system can be significantly reduced or impaired by pipe corrosion, pipe obstructions, or shut valves. Periodic water flow tests verify the availability of the town water supply over time. Fire hydrant test points

Fire hydrant tests will often involve the use of two fire hydrants. One hydrant will be used to flow water, and a second hydrant will be used as a pressure or gauge point. The flow and pressure hydrants should be selected so that the "effective point of test" is at the most beneficial location. Pressure gauges can also be mounted on backflow prevention assembly ports, pressure reducing valve ports, sprinkler riser gauge lines, domestic hose outlets, and other available points as long as there will be no closed valves (including check valves, backflow prevention check valves, and pressure reducing valves) between the

Page 14: Water supply testing and analysis -  · PDF fileWater supply testing and analysis . ... Fire hydrant flow tests ... crankcase, lubricate internal engine surfaces, and reduce the

14

pressure gauge and the water supply being tested. The pressure gauge must not be isolated. The effective point of test is point where the "flow path" and "pressure path" intersect. Figure 1 provides a legend for the symbols that will be used to illustrate flow testing guidelines. Dead-end water mains

Figure 2 shows a water main extending past the hydrant at point A and ending at the hydrant at point B. The hydrant at point A is the flow hydrant and hydrant at point B is the pressure hydrant. The effective point of test is at point A. As this test arrangement will flow no water through the water main between points A and B, the test should ideally be limited to water supply assessments upstream of point A.

15

Where the water test results are to be applied downstream of point A, the hydrant at point B should be the flow hydrant as shown in figure 3. While the effective point of test will not change, the test will confirm the ability of the pipe between points A and B to flow water at the tested rate.

Figure 3

Circulating water mains

Figure 4 shows a system of circulating water mains where a smaller water main intersects a larger water main. Determine where the results of the water test will be applied, and then select the flowing hydrant closest to that point. In this case, the water test will be applied to a fire system water connection to the smaller water main to the right side of the water main intersection. The hydrant at point B should be selected as the flow hydrant. Any adjacent hydrant such as the hydrant at point A can be used as the pressure hydrant. The location of the effective point will be somewhere between points A and B. Using the intersection of the two water mains as the effective point is a conservative approach. When the water test is applied, friction loss along the entire section of smaller water main from the intersection to the fire system connection will be deducted from the available water test pressure.

Fire hydrant types

Fire hydrants can have a variety of outlet configurations and sizes.

US fire hydrants often extend above ground (pillar hydrants) and may be wet barrel (below left) in non-freezing areas or dry barrel (below center and right) in freezing areas. Outlets will include one or more 2½ inch (64 mm) outlets and perhaps a large diameter outlet for fire service vehicle use.

UK fire hydrants are located below ground. The hydrant outlet and valve are accessed by lifting distinctive metal cover plates marked “FH”. Below the cover plates, there is a water outlet and a valve operating nut. A standpipe is attached to the water outlet, and fire hoses will then be attached to the standpipe. A handle will be applied to operate the valve. Yellow signs are posted near each fire hydrant. Two numbers are included on the sign. The upper number is the size of the water main supplying the hydrant in millimeters, and the lower number is the distance in meters to the fire hydrant.

The following are additional example of fire hydrants.

Test nozzles

For greatest accuracy, conduct a hydrant flow using test equipment listed by a Zurich recognized testing laboratory such as the UL listed Pitotless Nozzle™ and Hose Monster®.

UL listed equipment such as the Pitotless Nozzle™ and the Hose Monster® do not require the use of a hand-held pitot tube. This eliminates the challenges of centering a hand-held pitot tube or manually controlling pitot tube bounce (which will be discussed later).

A hydrant flow can also be conducted using a nozzle. For Zurich in the US, common nozzles include the Underwriters Playpipe and New England nozzle. The nozzle will attached to one of the 2½ inch (64 mm) pillar hydrant outlet.

20

The typical Underwriters Playpipe is a 30" (762 mm) long, tapered, smooth bore nozzle that has a 2½" (64 mm) diameter national standard thread base that can be attached to a fire hydrant outlet. The playpipe has a 11/8" (29 mm) diameter tip, which can be removed exposing a 1¾" (44 mm) diameter tip. New England Manufacturing Company produces a straight smooth bore hydrant flow nozzle that has a 2½" (64 mm) diameter national standard thread base that can be attached to a US fire hydrant outlet. As this nozzle does not have a handle, it is not suited for use with fire hoses. The New England nozzle has a 2¼" (57 mm) diameter tip. Flow tests with nozzles are typically conducted using a hand-held pitot tube. As noted above, a hand-held pitot tube will introduce a degree of test error as the user must carefully center the pitot tube in the water stream and simultaneously control pitot tube bounce. While a hand-held pitot tube will introduce a degree of error to the test results, the overall accuracy of the test will be adequate for property insurance purposes. It is also possible to conduct a hydrant test by flowing an open hydrant outlet without a nozzle attached. This test approach is the least accurate approach. To maintain as much accuracy as possible, flow the smallest hydrant outlet.

Safety during fire hydrant flow tests

When conducting a flow test, it is important to consider safety to both people and property. Consider exposures such as:

• Ruptured hose lines • Failed hose couplings • Nozzle reaction forces • The force of discharging water • Disposal of test water • Water reaching electrical equipment

When hose lines are used, their condition should be evaluated by the party conducting the test. Worn hose and damaged hose couplings could fail during a test causing injury or property damage. Underwriters Playpipe nozzles and New England nozzles will produce significant nozzle reactions in the direction opposite the water flow. Personnel should never attempt to hold a flowing smooth bore nozzle. Such attempts have led to many injuries. New England nozzles should not be used with hose as they do not include handles that allow the nozzle to be secured. When possible, nozzles should be attached directly to a hydrant outlet or a fire pump test header. When nozzles are attached to hoses, they must be secured to stay in place when flowing. For example, contractors may provide nozzle racks secured to their service vehicle. When Underwriters Playpipes are used with hose, place the secured nozzles in operation before approaching the nozzle to take pitot readings. Keep in mind that secured nozzles can come lose or shift. In each case, personal injury or property damage could result. Understand that there are no test standards to guide the design of Underwriters Playpipe nozzle racks.

Hose Monsters® are an example of a test nozzle that incorporates a T-shaped body designed to eliminate the nozzle reaction. The T-shaped body divides and discharges the flow in two opposing directions. By eliminating the nozzle reaction, Hose Monsters® do not require securement during use.

Before flowing water, evaluate where the discharging water will travel. For nozzles, consider the direction and range of the discharging water stream. A strong stream of water can injure people, damage paved surfaces, and dig up landscaping. Consider that water systems can contain rocks or other debris that may discharge with the water. Never allow people or vehicles to travel through a discharging stream of water as debris could cause injury or property damage. For any flow test, recognize that water runoff can overwhelm drains, accumulate to unexpected depths, and potentially enter buildings. This can lead to property damage. If the water can also reach electrical equipment, unexpected electrocution hazards can suddenly develop. Do not begin flowing water if there is any question as to where the water will go.

Pitot readings

Before beginning a water flow test with a nozzle or hydrant outlet, measure the inside diameter of the outlet to be flowed.

For nozzles and hydrant outlets, flow will be measured using a pitot tube and calibrated gauge. The gauge should have a range suited to the anticipated velocity pressure to be measured. Typically, a gauge with a 100 psi range should be suitable, and for accuracy, it is best to limit pitot reading to a range between 10 psi and 60 psi.

The pitot tube is used to measure the velocity pressure of the water stream flowing from the outlet.

Pitot tube positioned in front of nozzle orifice

The pitot orifice should be positioned in the center of the water stream. Ideally, the pitot tip should be located one half of the outlet diameter out in front of the nozzle tip. Nozzles with attached pitot tubes achieve this placement by design. With handheld pitot tubes, it may be necessary to rest the pitot against the nozzle tip. In either case, the pitot orifice should be carefully aligned with the direction of flow.

The pitot gauge will register the velocity pressure of the discharging water stream. The velocity pressure and orifice diameter will be used with Table 12. Discharge from circular orifices (lpm) or Table 13. Discharge from circular orifices (gpm) to determine the discharge flow rate. Where test devices such as the Pitotless Nozzle™ or Hose Monster® are used, the hand-held pitot tube is eliminated in favor of a fixed orifice or a fixed pitot. This also eliminates test error associated with the manually positioned, hand-held pitot. Pressure hydrant readings

Static and residual pressure readings will be measured with a calibrated test gauge mounted on an outlet at the pressure hydrant. Typically, a gauge cap will be mounted on one of the smaller hydrant

outlets. The gauge cap will be fitted with a threaded "tee". One side of the "tee" outlet will be equipped with a bleed valve, and the remaining outlet will be equipped with the test gauge.

Gauge cap with "tee" and test gauge

The bleed valve is an important feature when using a dry-barrel hydrant. Open the bleed valve when the hydrant is turned on to allow air to vent as the hydrant barrel fills with water. Reopen the bleed valve as the hydrant is turned off to protect the gauge from vacuum as the hydrant barrel drains.

Graphing series and parallel water supplies

Series water supply

A series water supply involves the movement of water from a source through a pump to increase pressure. The series water supply provides just one single water supply. The pump does not add any water volume; it just adds pressure.

Any fire pump will form a series water supply. A fire pump supplied from a town main will boost the incoming town system water pressure. A fire pump supplied from a tank will boost the incoming pressure created by the static head of water in the tank.

Series water supply examples - Ground water tank and fire pump (left), and town water main and fire pump (right)

Parallel water supplies

Parallel water supplies involves two separate water supplies feeding into a system. Parallel water supplies each feed water into a system at the pressure available from that supply.

Graphing parallel water supplies – further discussion

When graphing a fire hydrant flow test, it is important to identify how many water supplies are contributing to the test. Where there is only one supply, the graph will be a smooth line or curve. Where there are two or more supplies, the graph will have discontinuities.

The following image depicts a town water system supplied by a gravity tank in addition to a pump and tank. The graph below the image shows the resulting water supply curve.

The following photo shows a town booster pump station with multiple pumps (there are four pumps in all). Each pump starts at a progressively lower water pressure in response to an increasing demand for water by users. The graph below the photo shows the resulting water supply curve.

Graphing water tests

Zurich semi-log n1.85 graph paper

Zurich n1.85 semi-log graph paper (see image below) can be used with metric (L/min vs. bar) or US (gpm vs. psi) measure. When using this semi-log graph paper, testing of gravity water sources can be limited to the following three data elements:

• Static test point • Flowing test point • Test date and time

The semi-log n1.85 graph paper allows gravity water supplies to plot as a straight line eliminating the need for multiple flow test points.

Zurich n1.85 semi-log graph paper

In the US, town water supplies are often plotted as gravity supplies; however, it is important to recognize that many town systems are pumping or combined systems and will not plot as straight lines.

Linear graph paper

Any water test can be graphed on linear graph paper as shown in the image below.

Linear graph paper

With linear graph paper, gravity supplies (as well as pumping supplies) graph as curves. To plot a gravity supply, multiple test points are needed to form the resulting water test curve.

The static test point is the system pressure with the flow hydrant is turned off. For a town main system, this is also referred to as the "normal system residual pressure". A town system is rarely static. It is always flowing water to meet domestic water demands somewhere in the system.

The flowing test point consists of a measured flow rate from the flow hydrant along with a simultaneous residual pressure reading at the pressure hydrant.

For a system with non-fire demands (e.g. a town system), the date and time of test should be selected during a period of high non-fire demand. During these periods, the normal system flow will be high while the residual pressure may be at one of its lowest values. Fires can occur at any time, including these periods of high non-fire demand.

The static and flowing test points will be plotted on graph paper to display a graphical depiction of the available water supply.

Graph 1 depicts a gravity water supply with a static test point (pressure at zero flow) and a flow test point (residual pressure at flow). The water supply curve exceeds the fire system demand.

36

Graph 2 depicts the water supply for a water system with two gravity water sources. Under normal conditions, the high pressure reservoir supplies the system demands. When the system pressure falls below 47 psi, the low pressure reservoir check valve opens allowing additional water to flow into the system. A test of the high pressure system alone would produce the following results:

• Static = 120 psi; Flow = 600 gpm; Residual = 30 psi A test of the low pressure system alone would produce the following results:

• Static = 50 psi; Flow = 1,200 gpm; Residual = 30 psi With both systems in normal service, it is important not to take a static reading from the high pressure reservoir as the static test point and a combine flow as the flowing test point. Doing so produces the erroneous water supply curve shown with the dashed line. The erroneous water supply curve would represent an adequate water supply. Instead, by understanding the arrangement of the water system, a water test can be devised to capture the following test points:

• High pressure reservoir static pressure • Flow point above low pressure reservoir static pressure • Flow point below low pressure reservoir static pressure • Second flow point below low pressure reservoir static

pressure While this is a more complex water test, it clearly identifies the inadequate water supply.

NFPA 20 "Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection" established the number of 2½ inch (64 mm) hose valves needed based upon the rated flow of the fire pump. In general, one 2½ inch (64 mm) hose valve is needed for each 250 gpm (950 lpm) of rated pump capacity. Table 2 provides the specific requirements of NFPA 20.

Safety during fire pump tests – flowing water

Remember, as stated earlier, when flowing water it is important to consider safety to both people and property. Consider:

• Ruptured hose lines • Failed hose couplings • Nozzle reaction forces • The force of discharging water • Disposal of test water • Water reaching electrical equipment

When hose lines are used, their condition should be evaluated by the party conducting the test. Worn hose and damaged hose couplings could fail during a test causing injury or property damage. Underwriters Playpipe nozzles and New England nozzles will produce significant nozzle reactions in the direction opposite the water flow. Personnel should never attempt to hold a flowing smooth bore nozzle. Such attempts have led to many injuries. New England nozzles should not be used with hose as they do not include handles that allow the nozzle to be secured.

When possible, nozzles should be attached directly to a fire pump test header. When nozzles are attached to hoses, they must be secured to stay in place when flowing. For example, contractors may provide nozzle racks secured to their service vehicle.

When Underwriters Playpipes are used with hose, place the secured nozzles in operation before approaching the nozzle to take pitot readings. Keep in mind that secured nozzles can come lose or shift. In each case, personal injury or property damage can result. Understand that there are no UL test standards to guide the design of Underwriters Playpipe nozzle racks.

Hose Monsters® are test nozzles that incorporate a T-shaped body designed to eliminate the nozzle reaction. The T-shaped body divides and discharges the flow in two opposing directions. By eliminating the nozzle reaction, Hose Monsters® do not require securement during use.

Before flowing water, evaluate where the discharging water will travel. For nozzles, consider the direction and range of the discharging water stream. A strong stream of water can injure people, damage paved surfaces, and dig up landscaping. Consider that water systems can contain rocks or other debris that may discharge with the water. Never allow people or vehicles travel through a discharging stream of water where debris could cause injury or property damage. For any flow test, recognize that water runoff can overwhelm drains, accumulate to unexpected depths, and potentially enter buildings. This can lead to property damage. If the water can also reach electrical equipment, unexpected electrocution hazards can suddenly develop. Do not begin flowing water if there is any question as to where the water will go.

Safety during fire pump tests – fire pump hazards

As the fire pump and driver will be in operation during flow tests, exercise appropriate safety precautions to avoid hazards associated with this machinery. This includes:

• Never placing any portions of your body over the machinery • Keeping hands away from the drive shaft, impeller shaft, and

coupling and any other moving parts • Avoiding loose fitting clothing, neck ties, jewelry or other

apparel that could get caught in the machinery • Using appropriate personal protective equipment including

hearing protection and eye protection • Managing arc flash hazards. When conducting tests of

electric motor driven fire pumps where the controller door will be open to allow volt and amp readings, NFPA 70E Article 130.3 specifies that an arc flash hazard analysis shall be completed to identify the arc flash protection boundary and the level of personal protective equipment needed within the arc flash hazard boundary. Unqualified personnel and personnel without the appropriate level of personal protective equipment should not be permitted within the arc flash protection boundary

Pressure readings

During a fire pump test, pressure readings will be taken at both the inlet or suction side of the pump and the outlet or discharge side of the pump. The suction gauge displays the available pressure provided by the upstream water supply, the discharge gauge displays the pressure available to the downstream fire system, and the difference between the discharge and suction gauges, the net pressure, is the actual pressure developed by the fire pump. The fire pump discharge pressure is important, as it will be compared to the fire system demands being served by the fire pump. For the fire pump to be considered adequate, it must meet or exceed each sprinkler demands plus the associate hose allowance. Where hose stream can only be supplied from a point before the fire pump, the hose allowance can be deducted from the suction curve and then

44

the net performance added to the adjusted suction curve. Where hose streams are supplied from a separate water source, the hose allowance is not included. The fire pump net pressure is important as it will be compared to the original fire pump bench test curve or fire pump nameplate performance data. The fire pump is to be maintained in good condition throughout its service life. This includes replacing internal wear rings when the net performance of the fire pump deteriorates to a point where meeting the fire system demands becomes a concern.

Fire pump test objectives

The fire pump test has two objectives:

• Verify the fire pump meets or exceeds all fire system demands

• Verify the fire pump is in good condition (is reasonably close to meeting the nameplate data).

When testing a fire pump, at least three test points are needed to plot the test results on graph paper. The three test points are:

Table 3. Fire pump test points Table 3. Fire pump test points

Test point UK LPCB approved fire pump

US UL listed fire pump

#1 No flow No flow (also known as churn)

#2 Flow at fire pump mid-range Fire pump rated flow

#3 Fire pump rated flow 150% of fire pump rated flow (also known as overload)

Plotting data before disassembling test equipment

All too often, one or more elements of fire pump test data will reflect inadequate results. The issue may be inadequate pump performance, inadequate test accuracy, or a combination of both. Resolving the source of the inadequate test data requires further testing, and the best opportunity to pursue further testing is during the same test. Therefore, always plot all test data before any test equipment is disassembled. Retest any data points that are in question. Leave the test with confidence that the test data is within a suitable range of accuracy.

Speed readings

The fire pump nameplate performance data is based upon the pump operating at rated speed. If the pump is operating below rated speed, the pump performance will appear deficient. If the pump is operating above rated speed, the pump will appear to be exceeding its rated capability. With any fire pump test, it is desirable to capture the pump rotating speed so that if needed, the pump net test results can be adjusted to rated conditions for comparison with the original bench test curve or nameplate performance data.

Digital tachometer

The digital tachometer shown above is set up for measuring pump shaft speed by contact. The contact adaptor can be removed to allow non-contact speed readings. The following formulas are used to correct fire pump flow and pressure test data to rated speed. Flow correction:

• Qrated = flow at rated speed (gpm) • Nrated = rated speed (rpm) • Ntest = measured test speed (rpm) • Qtest = measured test flow (gpm)

Pressure correction:

• Prated = pressure at rated speed (psi) • Nrated = rated speed (rpm) • Ntest = measured test speed (rpm) • Ptest = measured test pressure (psi)

Interpreting abnormal fire pump curves

Reading abnormal fire pump net performance test curves often offers insight into the cause of the abnormal performance. The graphs provided on the following pages depict the following fire pump performance issues:

• Wear ring deterioration • Obstructed suction or clogged impeller vane • Fire pump running in reverse • Fire pump air bound

The objective of the annual fire pump capacity flow test is to detect issues that may affect the ability of the pump to meet the connected fire protection system demands. Careful analyses of all fire pump test results, including the net performance curve, is an essential aspect of the test purpose.

Hydraulic fundamentals

Pressure

Pressure is a ratio of force applied per unit area or:

P = F/A Where:

P = Pressure bar (psi) F = Force kg (lb force) A = Area cm2 (in2)

Real-world application While pressure is used every day in fire protection, the above pressure formula is not. Rather than measure force and area and then compute pressure, pressure is observed directly using gauges. Water pressure in a fire protection system has two components – normal pressure and velocity pressure. Normal pressure is the pressure exerted on the walls of pipes and vessels. Velocity pressure is the pressure created by moving water in the direction of flow.

Normal pressure is displayed on gauges tapped into various locations of a fire system.

Flow from an orifice

The orifice flow formula is applied when conducting a water flow test with discharging nozzles. This formula converts a pitot pressure reading to water flow rate.

Water flow from an orifice is represented by the following formula:

Q = 0.666 d2 (Pv)1/2 metric

Q = 29.8 d2 (Pv)1/2 US measure

Where:

Q = Flow lpm (gpm) d = orifice diameter mm (inches) Pv = velocity pressure bar (psi) measured with a pitot tube

Formula note: The values 0.666 and 29.8 are constants to adjust units.

Real-world application

While computing water flow rates is a frequent activity, the use of the above formulas is not. In the field, flow measurement is performed in two manners:

Flowmeter - Where a flowmeter is used, the measurement of flow is taken directly from the flowmeter.

Orifice pitot - Where a pitot tube is used with a nozzle or other orifice, Pv will be measured with the pitot tube and d will be measured with a scale. The measured values of Pv and d can be used to look up Q in charts or tables prepared using the orifice flow formulas. See Table 12. Discharge from circular orifices (lpm) and Table 13. Discharge from circular orifices (gpm). When flow is measured with a pitot tube, the orifice flow formula will be used if a table or chart is not available for the specific nozzle being flowed.

56

Dial flowmeter Tube flowmeter Pitot Elevation Water pressure for fire protection is developed in two primary ways, gravity and pumps. Gravity develops pressure through elevation. The elevation - or height - of a given column of water is converted into pressure with the following formula:

P = 0.0981 x h metric P = 0.433 x h US measure

Where:

P = Pressure bar (psi) h = Height meter (feet) The units for the constants are 0.0981 bar/m (0.433 psi/ft).

Real world application The above formulas are use often. They allow:

• A known height of water to be converted to a pressure • A known pressure from a gauge to be used to check water

height in a tank (is it full?)

Calculating orifice flow

Flow is the time it takes for a given volume of water to reach a specific point. For fire protection, this is measured in liters per minute (lpm) or gallons per minute (gpm). When studying flow, it is important to remember that whatever flow enters a pipe or system will be the same coming out of the pipe or system. Since water is non-compressible, total flow will be a constant. As stated earlier, water flow from an orifice is represented by the following formula:

Q = 0.666 d2 (Pv)1/2 metric

Q = 29.8 d2 (Pv)1/2 US measure

Where:

Q = Flow lpm (gpm) d = orifice diameter mm (inches) Pv = velocity pressure bar (psi) measured with a pitot tube

Formula note: The values 0.666 and 29.8 are constants to adjust units.

The variables listed above are easily measured in the field. However, there is one additional concept that needs to be incorporated. The above equation assumes the stream of water is perfectly smooth and that the velocity pressure is uniform over the entire cross section of the stream. This is referred to as laminar flow. In reality, water streams are never perfectly smooth. In fact, flow test from hydrants are quite turbulent. Laminar or smooth flow will result in a higher flow for a given orifice as compared to turbulent flow. In the field, we use special nozzles to reduce turbulence and increase accuracy. However, true linear flow cannot be achieved in the field. For this reason, we have to adjust the flow by using an orifice coefficient "c". Therefore, the equation that we use for calculating flow in the field is:

Q = 0.666 d2 c (Pv)1/2 metric

The following is a list of the common orifices encountered in the field:

When a hydrant is flowed, always evaluate the outlet shape. Apply the appropriate coefficient from Table 4. The image titled “Hydrant outlet coefficients” provides a visual aid to identify smooth outlets, square outlets, and outlets that protrude into the hydrant barrel. For large hydrant outlets - e.g. 100 mm (4 in) or larger - multiply the Table 4 coefficients by an additional factor of 0.83.

Hydrant outlet coefficients

Converting pitot readings to flows

After pitot reading are measured and recorded, the orifice flow formula can be used to calculate the flow. As an alternative, Table 12. Discharge from circular orifices (lpm) and Table 13. Discharge from circular orifices (gpm) can be used; however, Table 12 and 13 are intended for specific types of outlets and appropriate coefficients have been included in the flow values displayed in these tables. Be careful to avoid the use of Table 12 and 13 if the orifice and coefficient are not applicable to the actual orifice flowed.

Some flow tests, such as fire pump tests, will involve measuring flow from multiple orifices. It is important to note that the pitot measurements from each orifice are to be converted to a flow before summing the flows to determine the total flow. Do not sum pitot reading and then determine the flow.

Friction loss

When water flows through a pipe, there is friction occurring between the water molecules and the pipe walls. Energy is needed to overcome this friction. Friction loss, or pressure drop, occurs because some of the system's energy is used up in overcoming friction. The energy does not disappear. Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but is converted into heat due to the friction. The magnitude of friction loss in a pipe depends upon:

• Pipe length • Pipe diameter • Flow rate • Interior roughness of the pipe

Friction loss calculations

The formula commonly used for fire protection applications is the Hazen-Williams formula. This formula was derived by actual measurements of the effect of each variable on friction loss. The formula computes friction loss per linear foot of pipe as follows:

Pf = (6.05x105 Q

1.85) / (C

1.85 d

4.87) metric

Pf = (4.52 Q1.85

Where:

Pf = friction loss per foot bar/m (psi/ft) Q = flow lpm (gpm) C = Hazen-Williams pipe coefficient no units d = internal diameter of pipe mm (in.)

The interior roughness of the pipe is represented by the Hazen-Williams pipe coefficient or C-factor. The larger the C-factor value the smoother the interior of the pipe walls. Based upon NFPA 13 (2013) Table 23.4.4.7, the following is a table of common "C" factors.

Friction loss due to fittings

In addition to pressure drop due to friction through sections of pipe, there is a need to account for the impact of:

• Flow through fittings that changes pipe size or direction • Flow through restrictive devices such as valves, check

valves, water meters, strainers, back flow prevention devices, and similar devices.

The friction loss due to flow through fittings and devices can be added to friction loss calculations in the following two manners. First, all fittings and some devices can be converted to an equivalent length of pipe of the same nominal diameter as the attached pipe. These equivalent lengths are captured in Table 7 for steel pipe and Table 9 for CPVC pipe. Second, the manufacturers of devices such as alarm check valves, detector check valves, backflow prevention assemblies, meters, and strainers will publish flow vs. pressure loss curves for each nominal pipe size. These published curves are typically available at the manufacturer's web site. Pressure losses will be selected from the

Friction loss calculation procedure

For each size of pipe, the associated fittings and devices are converted to equivalent lengths and added to the length of pipe. The friction loss can then be calculated using the following equation:

F = (L) f Where: F = Friction loss for the selected section of pipe L= Length of pipe including equivalent length of fittings f = Friction loss per lineal length of pipe for the flow rate

and pipe size Table 14. Friction loss per lineal meter of pipe provides friction loss values for various size steel pipe (25, 32, 40, 50, 65, 80, 100, and 150 mm), various C-factors (C=100 and C=120), and various schedules of steel pipe (heavy and medium series). Table 15. Friction loss per lineal foot of pipe provides friction loss values for various size pipe (3/4", 1", 1¼", 1½", 2", 2½", 3", 4", 5", 6", 8" and 10"), various C-factors (C=100 and C=120 for steel pipe and C=150 for CPVC pipe), and various schedules of steel pipe (schedules 10 and 40 for all sizes and schedules 10, 30, and 40 for 8" and 10" pipe). There are many other types of pipe that are specifically listed for use in sprinkler systems that are not covered by Tables 14 and 15. For these pipes, manufacturer's literature will need to be consulted for guidance in calculating friction loss. In some cases, manufacturers will provide friction loss tables; however, when manufacturer's tables are not available, the friction loss per foot of pipe will have to be calculated using the friction loss formula shown below (and discussed earlier in this booklet).

Hydraulic calculation procedure

See Annex A for an example using friction loss calculations to determine the base of riser demand for a simple tree sprinkler system. Pressure regulating valves (PRV's)

PRV's and hydraulic calculations

When a PRV is introduced into a sprinkler system, the PRV creates a discontinuity in the hydraulic calculation. Unlike other devices, the PRV cannot be converted into an equivalent length of pipe. The design of the PRV allows it to change its "equivalent length" in response to the ever changing inlet pressure. Because of this behavior, PRV's introduce a challenge to sprinkler system hydraulic

calculations and design. Sprinkler calculations should be carried back to the PRV outlet. The available water supply should then be projected forward to the PRV inlet. PRV data should be applied to the projected water supply to select the appropriate PRV that will meet the sprinkler demand on the outlet side.

Types of PRV's

There are two types of PRV's, pilot operated and direct acting. Pilot operated PRV's use a pilot regulator on a pilot line system outside the valve to control the regulating action of the main valve. Direct acting PRV's incorporate a spring or other mechanism inside the valve to directly regulate the valve operation. Pilot operated PRV's are field adjustable. Direct acting PRV's may be either factory set or field adjustable. Factory set PRV's will be shipped with a tag indicating their intended installed location. If a factor set PRV is not meeting the required outlet flow and pressure, replacement is the only option. NFPA 13 and PRV's

NFPA 13 stipulates the following for PRV's:

• Provide a listed PRV • Set outlet pressure at 165 psi at maximum inlet pressure • Provide pressure gauges on inlet and outlet side • Provide a relief valve 12 mm (½ in) or larger on outlet side • Provide a listed control valve on inlet and outlet side

- Except for PRV's serving one sprinkler system - Except for PRV's that are also listed control valves

• Provide a means for full flow testing on outlet side • Acceptance test each PRV to confirm

- Proper operation under flow and no-flow conditions - Record test result on Contractor's Material and Test

certificate - Record static and residual inlet pressures - Record static and residual outlet pressures - Record flow rate

Non-listed PRV's

As noted above, PRV's are to be listed. This is particularly important for pilot operated PRV's which are readily available in non-listed versions for domestic and process use. Non-listed PRV's are periodically installed in sprinkler systems. The non-listed PRV's can

70

include shutoff valves (see photo earlier) in the pilot trim lines which if closed can impair the valve. Non-listed PRV valves must be avoided. Redundant PRV's

PRV's may serve a single sprinkler system or multiple sprinkler systems. Where a PRV serves more than one sprinkler system, redundant PRV's should be installed in parallel. Providing small PRV's with larger PRV's

Direct acting PRV's are available in sizes ranging from 38 to 76 mm (1½ to 3 in.). Pilot operated PRV's are available is sizes ranging from 64 to 203 mm (2½ to 8 in). For PRV's over 76 mm (3 in.) in size serving closed-head sprinklers, a smaller PRV should be provided in parallel to support the low flows associated with one or two sprinklers operating. Larger PRV's will not necessarily reliably regulate low flows, and may compromise the continuous delivery of water to operating sprinklers. The manufacturer of the PRV should be consulted for guidance. Loop tests

Where a facility is provided with an underground fire main loop, it is necessary to perform a loop test at least every two years to verify that all sectional valves are open and the loop is in good condition. The sequence of a loop test is important if all test objectives are to be accomplished. The Loop test diagram will be used to highlight the test sequence and benefits. Loop test 1 will involve closing valve 1 to form a short flow path to hydrant H. Pressure readings will be taken at riser R. The results of this test will be plotted on graph paper. Loop test 2 will involve reopening valve 1 and closing valve 2. This will form a long flow path to hydrant H. Pressure readings once again will be taken at riser R. The results of this test will be plotted

on the same graph paper as loop test 1. By comparison, loop test 2 should be weaker than loop test 1. Loop test 3 will involve reopening valve 2. No valves will be closed for this test. This test will allow the full loop to flow water to hydrant H. Pressure readings once again will be taken at riser R. The results of this test will be plotted on the same graph paper as loop tests 1 and 2. By comparison, loop test 3 should be the strongest test. This outcome will verify that both legs of the loop are open and flowing water, and that all valves have returned to the open position.

Hydraulic gradient

A hydraulic gradient test is a method of analyzing the condition of an existing underground main. It compares the anticipated C-factor of an underground main against the actual C-factor.

Anticipated performance is based upon the documented configuration of the main including:

• Type of pipe • Diameter of pipe • Length of pipe • Number and size of fittings and devices • Elevation change

Actual performance is based upon a flow test along the main with gauges placed at as many locations as possible along the length of the main. This includes hydrants, risers, backflow prevention assemblies, etc. Consider the Hydraulic gradient sketch and tables. This example has been simplified with no fittings or device equivalent lengths. The Documented pipe configuration table provides an estimated pressure profile at each gauge location. All pipes are 8". Using Table 14, the friction loss of 0.007 psi/ft is selected based upon 8" schedule 30 pipe flowing 750 gpm. The first three sections of pipe are unlined ductile iron pipe. Based upon the pipe age, C-factors are selected using Table 6 and "mildly corrosive water". The C-factor corrections are obtained from Table 10. The estimated friction loss for each section of pipe is then calculated using the following formula.

F1 = (f1) (L) (fc) Where: F1 = Friction loss in a given length of pipe (psi) f1 = friction loss per lineal foot of pipe L= Length of pipe including equivalent length of fittings fc = Conversion factor for C values other than C=100 Knowing that the actual test will have an adjusted residual at Gauge 1 of 70 psi, the estimated residual readings for the remaining gauge locations are developed based upon the estimated friction.

Hydraulic gradient sketch and tables

The Flow and pressure test data begins by capturing the static gauge readings at each location. This allows a profile curve to be graphed. The actual residual gauge readings are then added to the profile curve to plot the adjusted residual pressures. The estimated residual values are then plotted and compared with the adjusted actual readings.

Hydraulic gradient graph - actual vs. estimated

The graphical results clearly show a significant pressure drop between gauge locations 3 and 4. The pressure drop is 8 psi in 100 feet of 8" pipe. This is a friction loss of 0.08 psi/ft. The effective correction factor compared to C=100 pipe can be calculated as follows:

75

fc = f1 Actual / f1 Table 11 = 0.08 / 0.007 =11.4 Comparing the above with the correction factors in Table 10, the section of pipe between gauge locations 3 and 4 which should have a C-factor of 90 is actually behaving worse than pipe with a C-factor of 35. Action is needed to determine the cause of this inadequate performance.

Sprinkler calculation - Example

The following is an outline of the steps to complete the hydraulic calculation of the sprinkler system shown in the following sketch.

This sprinkler system will be calculated for a density of 4.5 mm/min (0.12 gpm/ft2) over the entire 55.74 m2 (600 ft2) system coverage area. It is a wet pipe system comprised of steel, heavy (schedule 40) pipe (C=120). Step 1. Determine the flow and pressure required at the most remote sprinkler using the following formulas: Q1 = (D)(A)

p1 = (Q/k)2 Where: Q1 = Flow from the sprinkler - lpm (gpm) D = Design density - mm/min (gpm/ft2)

209

A = Area protected by the sprinkler – m2 (ft) P1 = Required pressure at the sprinkler – bar (psi) k = Sprinkler k-factor Computing Q1 and P1:

Metric US measure Q1 = (4.5)(9.3) = 41.9 lpm Q1 = (0.12)(100) = 12 gpm p1 = (41.9/80)2 = 0.27 bar p1 = (12/5.6)2 = 4.6 psi As the minimum required sprinkler pressure is 0.5 bar (7 psi), adjust p1 to 0.5 bar (7 psi) and recalculate the flow using the formula: Q1 = k(p1)1/2 or

Metric US measure Q1 = 80 (0.5)1/2 = 56.6 lpm Q1 = 5.6 (7)1/2 = 14.8 gpm Step 2. Using Table 11, compute the friction loss from sprinkler 1 to sprinkler 2. F1-2 = (L) f1-2 Where: F1-2 = Friction loss for the selected section of pipe – bar (psi) L= Length of pipe including equivalent length of fittings – m (ft.) f1-2 = Friction loss per lineal length (m or ft.) for the flow rate

and pipe size or

Metric US measure F1-2 = (3) 0.0226 = 0.07 bar F1-2 = (10) 0.0764 = 0.8 psi

Page 210: Water supply testing and analysis -  · PDF fileWater supply testing and analysis . ... Fire hydrant flow tests ... crankcase, lubricate internal engine surfaces, and reduce the

210

Step 3. Compute the flow from the sprinkler 2 using the following formula: Q2 = k(p2)1/2 Where:

Metric US measure p2 = p1 + F1-2 = 0.5 + 0.07 = 0.57 bar

p2 = p1 + F1-2 = 7 + 0.8 = 7.8 psi

and:

Metric US measure Q2 = 80 (0.57)1/2 = 60.4 lpm Q2 = 5.6 (7.8)1/2 = 15.6 gpm

Step 4. Compute the total flow at sprinkler 2.

Metric US measure Q2T = Q1 + Q2 = 56.6 + 60.4 = 117 lpm

Q2T = Q1 + Q2 = 14.8 + 15.6 = 30.4 gpm

Step 5. Using Table 11, compute the friction loss from sprinkler 2 to the top of riser nipple A. Include 5 equivalent feet of pipe for the 25 mm (1") tee outlet at the top of riser nipple A.

Metric US measure F2-A = (L) Fl2-A = (3) 0.0815 = 0.24 bar

F2-A = (L) Fl2-A = (10) 0.2755 = 2.8 psi

211

Step 6. Determine the total flow and pressure from the top left side of riser nipple A:

Metric US measure QATL = 117 lpm QATL = 30.4 gpm pATL = p1-2 + F2-A = 0.57 + 0.24 = 0.81 bar

pATL = p1-2 + F2-A = 7.8 + 2.8 = 10.6 psi

Step 7. Compute the flow and pressure at sprinkler 3. Ultimately, it is the same as the flow and pressure at sprinkler 1.

Metric US measure Q3 = 56.6 lpm Q3 = 14.8 gpm p3 = 0.5 bar p3 = 7 psi

Step 8. Using Table 11, compute the friction loss from sprinkler 3 to the top of riser nipple A. Include 5 equivalent feet of pipe for the 25 mm (1") tee outlet at the top of riser nipple A.

Metric US measure F3-A = (L) f3-A = (3) 0.0226 = 0.07 bar

F3-A = (L) f3-A = (10) 0.0764 = 0.8 psi

Step 9. Determine the total flow and pressure from the top right side of riser nipple A:

Metric US measure QATR = 56.6 lpm QATR = 14.8 gpm pATR = p3 + F2-A = 0.5 + 0.07 = 0.57 bar

pATR = p3 + F2-A = 7.0 + 0.8 = 7.8 psi

Step 10. As the pressures at the top right and top left sides of riser nipple A must be equal, the pressure on the top right must be increased to equal pATL. To make this adjustment, the k-factor for kATR must first be determined using the following formula:

Metric US measure kATR = QATR/(pATR)1/2 = 56.6/(0.57)1/2 = 75

kATR = QATR/(pATR)1/2 = 14.8/(7.8)1/2 = 5.30

With the k-factor determined, the adjusted flow at QATR can be determined as follows:

Metric US measure QATR-ADJ = 75 (0.81)1/2 = 67.5 lpm

QATR-ADJ = 5.30 (10.6)1/2 = 17.3 gpm

Step 11. Calculate the total flow and pressure at the top of riser nipple A.

Metric US measure QAT = 117 + 67.5 = 184.5 lpm

QAT = 30.4 + 17.3 = 47.7 gpm

PAT = 0.81 bar PAT = 10.6 psi Step 12. Calculate the friction loss down riser nipple A. Include 1.8 (6) equivalent meters (feet) of pipe for the 32 mm (1¼") tee outlet at the bottom of riser nipple A.

Metric US Measure FAT-A = (L) fAT-A = (2.5) 0.0440 = 0.11bar

FAT-A = (L) fAT-A = (8) 0.1729 = 1.4 psi

Step 13. Calculate the elevation loss down riser nipple A using the following formula:

Metric US measure FEL = L (0.0981 bar/m) FEL = L (0.433 psi/ft)

Note that L is positive for a drop and negative for a rise.

Metric US measure FEL@A = +0.7 (0.0981) = +0.07 bar

FEL@A = +2 (0.433) = +0.9 psi

Step 14. Compute the total flow and pressure at the bottom of riser nipple A.

Metric US measure QA = 184.5 lpm QA = 47.7 gpm pA = pAT + FAT-A + FEL@A = 0.81 + 0.11 + (+0.07) = 0.99 bar

pA = pAT + FAT-A + FEL@A = 10.6 + 1.4 + (+0.9) = 12.9 psi

Step 15. Calculate the k-factor at the bottom of riser nipple A. This k-factor will be used again to determine the flow in riser nipple B.

Metric US measure kA = QA/(pA)1/2 = 184.5/(0.99)1/2 = 185.4

kA = QA/(pA)1/2 = 47.7/(12.9)1/2 = 13.28

Step 16. Calculate the friction loss between riser nipple A and B.

Metric US measure FA-B = (L) fA-B = (3) 0.0440 = 0.13 bar

FA-B = (L) fA-B = (10) 0.1729 = 1.7 psi

Step 17. Compute the total flow between riser nipple A and B.

Metric US measure QA-B = 184.5 lpm QA-B = 47.7 gpm PB = pA + FA-B = 0.99 + 0.13 = 1.12 bar

PB = pA + FA-B = 12.9 + 1.7 = 14.6 psi

Step 18. As the branch line configuration at riser nipple B is exactly the same as at riser nipple B, the k-factor at riser nipple A can be used to compute the flow in riser nipple B as follows:

Metric US measure QB-BT = kA(PB)1/2

= 185.4(1.12)1/2 = 196.2 lpm QB-BT = kA(PB)1/2

= 13.28(14.6)1/2 = 50.7 gpm Step 19. Compute the total flow and pressure at riser nipple B.

Metric US measure QB = QB-BT+QA-B = 196.2 + 184.5 = 380.7 lpm

QB = QB-BT + QA-B = 50.7 + 47.7 = 98.4 gpm

PB = 1.12 bar PB = 14.6 psi

Step 20. Calculate the friction loss through the feed main and riser between riser nipple B and the system Base of Riser (BoR). This can be calculated in one step, as all pipe is 100 mm (4 inch). First total up all pipe lengths and equivalent fitting lengths:

Fittings 100 mm pipe 4 in. pipe Actual pipe length 13.7 m 45 ft. elbow (top or riser) 2.7 m 9 ft. check valve 6.7 m 22 ft. butterfly valve 3.7 m 12 ft.

Total 26.8 m 88 ft.

Metric US measure FB-BoR = (L) fB-BoR = (26.8) 0.0009 = 0.02 bar

FB-BoR = (L) fB-BoR = (88) 0.0037 = 0.3 psi

Step 21. Calculate the elevation loss down the main riser using the formula:

Metric US measure FEL = L (0.0981 bar/m) FEL = L (0.433 psi/ft)

Note that L is positive for a drop and negative for a rise.

Metric US measure FEL@BoR = +4.6 (0.0981) = +0.45 bar

FEL@BoR = +15 (0.433) = +6.5 psi

Step 22. Compute the total flow and pressure at the Base of Riser nipple A.

Metric US measure QA = 380.7 lpm QA = 98.4 gpm pBoR = pB + FB-BoR + FEL@BoR = 1.12 + 0.02 + (+0.45) = 1.59 bar

pBoR = pB + FB-BoR + FEL@BoR = 14.6 + 0.3 + (+6.5) = 21.4 psi

In summary, to deliver a density of 4.5 mm/min (0.12 gpm/ft2) over the entire 55.74 m2 (600 ft2) the system requires 381 lpm (98 gpm) @ 1.59 bar (21 psi) at the base of riser.
