Question 1

Per NFPA 1901 standard for every discharge outlet equipped with a flow meter it should have what?

Answer 1

A pressure gauge shall be provided. These flow meters must display flow in increments of 10 gpm or less

Question 2

With proper calibration a flowmeter in good working order should be accurate to a tolerance of ?

Answer 2

Plus or minus 3 percent

Question 3

Each discharge equipped with a flowmeter must have a digital readout display mounted within how many inches inches of the control valve for that discharge

Answer 3

Within 6 inches

Question 4

Answer 4

2 inches

Question 5

How do you you are supplying the correct discharge pressure for relay operations?

Answer 5

Increase engine speed until the flowmeter reading no longer increases. This will establish the correct discharge pressure to support an adequate volume of water to the receiving pumper.
