The flow, either measured or calculated, that is available from a hydrant at the
designated residual pressure (rated pressure). - ANSWER-Rated Capacity
The maximum anticipated static (nonflowing) or flowing pressure applied to fire
protection system components exclusive of surge pressures and exclusive of
pressure from the fire department connection. - ANSWER-System Working
Pressure
A test performed by the flow and measurement of water from one hydrant and
the static and residual pressures from an adjacent hydrant for the purpose of
determining the available water supply at that location. - ANSWER-Flow Test
A test of a piping system using flow rates intended to remove debris from the
piping system prior to it being placed in service. - ANSWER-Flushing Test
A test of a closed piping system and its attached appurtenances consisting of
subjecting the piping to an increased internal pressure for a specified period of
duration to verify system integrity and leak rates. - ANSWER-Hydrostatic Test
The pressure that exists in the distribution system, measured at the residual
hydrant at the time the flow readings are taken at the flow hydrants. - ANSWER-
Residual Pressure
The pressure that exists at a given point under normal distribution system
conditions measured at the residual hydrant with no hydrants flowing. - ANSWER-
Static Pressure

A valve that allows flow in one direction but prevents flow in the opposite
direction. - ANSWER-Check Valve
A valve that has components that show if the valve is open or closed. Examples
are outside screw and yoke (OS&Y) gate valves and underground gate valves with
indicator posts. - ANSWER-Indicating Valve
Fire hydrant that has its operating valve located at the base or foot of the hydrant
rather than in the barrel of the hydrant. When operating properly, there is no
water in the barrel of the hydrant when it is not in use. These hydrants are used in
areas where freezing may occur. - ANSWER-Dry-Barrel Hydrant
The hydrant that is used for the flow and flow measurement of water during a
flow test. - ANSWER-Flow Hydrant
A valved connection on a water supply system having one or more outlets that is
used to supply hose and fire department pumpers with water on private property.
- ANSWER-Private Fire Hydrant
A valved connection on a water supply system having one or more outlets that is
used to supply hose and fire department pumpers with water. - ANSWER-Public
Hydrant
The hydrant that is used for measuring static and residual pressures during a flow
test. - ANSWER-Residual Hydrant
