Unit
Testing
A simple test can be performed to determine the fire flow of a given
water source.
In addition to the TurboDraft setup, connect a master stream device
with a straight bore nozzle.
See page 12 to determine the estimated fire flow for your location
and required nozzle bore for deck gun.
Place the TurboDraft unit in operation as shown in the TurboDraft
Set-Up images.
Once the water supply is established, start flowing water to the
deck gun and continue to increase water flow to the deck gun until
the 5 inch line from the TurboDraft starts to get soft. At this
point you have reached the maximum flow.
Read the pressure at the deck gun. Refer to Chart 3 below to determine
the flow for the deck gun at that pressure.
