FIRE FLOW TEST RESULTS
The following information shows the results of the flow test conducted on July 17, 2013,
at the two fire hydrants located along Royder Rd ., in front of the proposed Salem Baptist
Church. The test was performed by Glendon Adams, assisted by Britt, Wellborn Special
Utility District and witnessed by Pastor Jermain White and by the undersigned. The test
performed met the NFPA 291 minimum design standards required by the BCS Unified
Design Guidelines.
The southernmost fire hydrant (FH-1) is located at the end of a 12" Wellborn SU D water
line and it is a de-facto end of line blow-off valve. FH-2 is located 59' to the northwest of
the first hydrant. See attached pictured labeled "Two FHs".
Static pressure at FH-2 with 2-1/2" pitot gauge was measured at 61 psi. See attached
picture labeled "Static psi".
Similarly flowing pressure at FH-1 was measured at 58 psi. And the flowing pressure at
FH-2 was measured at 59 psi. See picture labeled "Flowing psi". Picture labeled "EOL
FH" is a picture FH-1 while flowing .
Under the conditions described above the flow capacity for either hydrant is estimated
at 1,280 gpm. Sufficient protection for a 9,000 sf Type V-B building is therefore
available.
