Hello,
I put a model together that is giving me wildly large available fire flows from the hydrants in the system. The city we are providing services for have provided us with a spread sheet showing significantly lower flows from those hydrants.
Here is an example:
NW_115 in model is giving an available flow of 4,000 gpm (upper limit for the model is 4,000 gpm).
NW_115 in the field is giving an available flow of 2,255 gpm.
All hydrants are discharging from 2 inch orifices'
Is there something in my model that is set incorrectly?
Please help. How do I upload a file that is 9.5 MB?
Thanks,
Clint Taylor, EIT
