Flow Testing Support for Fire Protection Engineers & MEP Firms

What Engineers Need From Us

• Accurate hydrant flow test data (NFPA 291) for hydraulic calculations
• Static, residual, and GPM measurements with calibrated equipment
• Standpipe flow tests validating design pressure and GPM at the most remote outlet
• Hydrostatic pressure test documentation for system acceptance
• Trip test data including trip time and water delivery time
• Field data and reporting coordination through a licensed Fire Protection Firm partner when required for AHJ and owner records

Typical Use Cases

Engineering firms engage us across the project lifecycle:

• Hydraulic calculation verification — updated hydrant flow data to replace stale utility records
• System commissioning — acceptance testing at end of construction to close out design
• Design validation — flow and pressure confirmation on existing systems prior to tenant fit-out or addition
• Renovations and retrofits — verifying water supply capacity supports proposed design changes
• Peer review support — independent testing to validate or refute contractor-submitted test data
• Expert witness / forensic work — documentation for litigation or insurance disputes

Why Engineers Choose FLOW

We understand the difference between "a test" and "a test that will survive scrutiny from the AHJ, insurance carrier, and opposing counsel." Calibrated equipment, documented procedures, photographs, and defensible field data. When a final NFPA 14 or 25-compliant report from a licensed fire protection firm is required, we coordinate it through a partner. If you need the data to hold up, we're the field team that delivers it.
