Typical flow testing programs may utilize equipment such as fire hydrant pressure loggers, pitot gauges, transit time meters, and insertion mag meters. These tests are used to verify flow rates and pressures, evaluate response to demand, and assess zone pressure and PRV performance under various scenarios.
Our fire flow testing services include standard NFPA Fire Flow Tests for designing sprinkler systems in new developments, fire pump tests to meet underwriter requirements, and complex water model calibration projects.
SFE has advanced instrumentation that can log hydrant pressures across multiple hydrants while the water system is adjusted to simulate various potential water supply scenarios. Having current information on how a water system responds to demands—whether from a new building or a potential fire emergency—is crucial for any municipality.

To support a large-scale housing development in Mercer Island, Washington, the city retained an engineering consultant to model and assess flow capacity in a key section of their water distribution network. The focus was a 12-inch cast iron watermain that would serve as the primary feed for the new subdivision. However, hydraulic modeling and flow testing showed that the main was performing more like a 4-inch to 6-inch line—raising serious concerns about capacity shortfalls.
