Apparatus and method for testing standpipe flow

摘要

An apparatus for measuring the flow rate and pressure of water discharged from a standpipe valve includes a portable tank (10) mounted on wheels (24). A pipe assembly (40), includes a pressure gauge 48), a flow meter (46) and a shut-off valve (44) mounted in series on the tank (40) in fluid flow communication with the tank. A high pressure hose (52) is used to connect the inlet of the pipe assembly (40) to the valve being tested.
