I would like to invite you to the group HazMat Plcard to Success! Your 30 Years of experience would benefit the group. Thank you Todd McKee
If you have a local fire equipment dealer they should surly be able to loan you a flow meter for testing but you will also need at least 2 inline pressure gagues.
Determine the gpm you want to test at, set your pressures so that the flow meter reflects that target gpm (calibrate flowmeter first), then you can look at the pressure gagues and have a fact based FL number.
We have found as much as 110psi of loss in a preconnect flowing 200gpm.
I have also found good 1 3'4" hose that had less FL than 2" even while flowing 50 more gpm.
If there is anything I can do to help just let me know.
Thanks
