Residual Pressure - correct answer <<<<<<<<<<<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.
Static Pressure - correct answer <<<<<<<<<<<The pressure that exists at a given point under normal
distribution system conditions measured at the residual hydrant with no hydrants flowing.
Flow Test - correct answer <<<<<<<<<<<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.
Flushing Test - correct answer <<<<<<<<<<<A test of a piping system using high velocity flows to
remove debris from the piping system prior to it being placed in service.
Hydrostatic Test - correct answer <<<<<<<<<<<A test of a closed piping system and its attached
appurtenances consisting of subjecting the piping to an increased internal pressure for a specified
duration to verify system integrity and system leakage rates.
Check Valve - correct answer <<<<<<<<<<<A valve that allows flow in one direction only.
