16 PART 2 Fundamentals of Pressure and Flow
17 Fundamentals Goals: Learn about various terms: Head Pressure Learn how to convert head to pressure and vice versa Learn about pressure as it relates to water Learn about the components of pressure Learn about flow and how pressure relates to flow Learn how to create and read a water supply plot
18 Fundamentals Most Important Goal:
19 Fundamentals Not this.
20 Fundamentals What is Hydraulic Head? 2,600 yrs. ago, Romans had gravity water systems.
21 Fundamentals What is Head? About 2,200 years ago, Archimedes invented the a screw to lift water.
22 Fundamentals What is Head?
23 Fundamentals What is Head? About 2,200 years ago, Archimedes invented the a screw to lift water.
24 Fundamentals What is Head? As the screw turns, water level rises The column of water grows Adds more weight Requires more force
25 Fundamentals What is Head? No concept of pressure at that time Needed a way to quantify how much force was required to lift water Developed the term feet of head Based on a the weight of a column of water So, what the hell does that mean???
26 Fundamentals What is Head? Plastic ice cubes 1 cubic inch Each weighs pounds.
27 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices What is Head? More cubes equals more weight Now, if we stack 12 cubes of water lb. x 12 cubes = 0.43 lb./ft. Foot of Head = The Weight of Water 1 Foot in Height Per Unit Area
28 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices What is Head? 2-Feet = 0.86lb. 3-Feet = 1.29lb. 4-Feet = 1.72lb. 10-Feet = 4.3lb.
29 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices What is Head? Now, what if we want to know how many cubes equals 1 lb. Stack cubes and weigh them Or, do some math = 28 cubes = approx. 2.31ft.
30 Fundamentals What is Pressure? Blaise Pascal clarified concept in Pressure (P) equals the Force (F) divided by Area (A) P = F/A P = Pounds/Square Inch (PSI)
31 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Another way to consider pressure.
32 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Pipe
33 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Example A 200 lb. person standing on the floor exerts how much pressure on the floor? Each foot carries half the force. Each foot = 50 sq. in.
34 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Solution P = F/A P = 100lb/50in 2 P = 2 lb./in 2 (PSI) P = 200lb/(50in in 2 ) P = 2 PSI
35 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices What is Pressure? 1-ft of Head= 0.43 lb./ft. What is the pressure? If F = 0.43 lb. And A = 1 sq. in. Then F/A = 0.43/1 = 0.43 lb./sq. in. /ft. = 0.43 PSI/ft.
36 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices What is Pressure? Same holds true for a cubic foot = 1728 oneinch cubes = 62.4 pounds of force per cubic foot. 62.4lb. / 144 cubes = 0.43lb./sq. in. (psi)
37 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Head and Pressure So, at this point we know for the 1 sq. in column of water: 1-ft. = 0.43lb./sq. in. 1-lb./sq. in. = 2.31ft. of Head
38 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Head and Pressure Relationship between these two numbers. Used to convert: Head to Pressure Pressure to Head
39 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Equations Cheat Sheet Pressure = Head 2.31 = PSI or Pressure = Head x 0.43 = PSI
40 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Equations Cheat Sheet Head = Pressure 0.43 = Ft. or Head = Pressure x 2.31 = Ft.
41 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Pressure in a piping system
42 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Three types of pressure: Static Pressure Residual Pressure Velocity Pressure Total Pressure is the sum of these three types: P T = Static P + Residual P + Velocity P
43 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Static Pressure Is pressure that is exerted on a surface when there is no movement or flow.
44 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Static Pressure
45 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Static Pressure
46 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Static Pressure
47 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Not Static Pressure
48 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Static Pressure of Water
49 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Static Pressure of Water
50 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Static Pressure of Water P = Head x = Pressure P = 140ft x 0.433psi/ft. = 60.6 psi P = Head / 2.31 = Pressure P = 140ft/2.31psi/ft = 60.6 psi
51 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Water Flow Test Summary
52 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices
53 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices
54 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Residual Pressure
55 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Residual Pressure Result of water discharge (flow) from an opening in a closed system.
56 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Residual Pressure Result of water discharge (flow) from an opening in a closed system.
57 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Residual Pressure When the opening gets bigger, flow increases, so the ability to contain the pressure decreases. 60 PSI 40 PSI
58 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Residual Pressure So, residual pressure is dependent on the flow rate leaving the closed system. It is also dependent on things like: The magnitude of the supply (or source) pressure And on the size of the piping distribution system:
59 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Residual Pressure Elevation also affects residual pressure!
60 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Residual Pressure Per the previous water tower example, with water now flowing in the building s sprinkler system, the pressure changes.
61 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Residual Pressure 800 GPM flow Assume water in tank is replaced at same rate, so level doesn t change Measured pressure drops to 40 PSI
62 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Residual Pressure Plotting the known static pressure and one flow rate & residual pressure will allow one to understand the residual pressure at any flow rate.
63 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Residual Pressure Plotting the known static pressure and one flow rate & residual pressure will allow one to understand the residual pressure at any flow rate.
64 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Residual Pressure Plotting the known static pressure and one flow rate & residual pressure will allow one to understand the residual pressure at any flow rate.
65 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Residual Pressure Any point on the line represents a flow and pressure relationship. With a known pressure, flow can be found. A given flow will reveal the pressure.
66 Pressure Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices Velocity Pressure Also known as Dynamic Pressure. Created by the flow of a liquid in a closed system (pipe). Insignificant, so ignored when flow testing fire pumps and other systems.
67 Flow Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices What is flow? Flow is the continuous movement of a liquid or gas in a stream.
68 Flow Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices What is flow? Flow is the continuous movement of a liquid or gas in a stream.
69 Flow Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices What is flow? As a fluid flows in a pipe, friction is created.
70 Flow Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices What is flow? As a fluid flows in a pipe, friction is created.
71 Flow Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices What is flow? Higher friction equals greater resistance to flow of the liquid.
72 Flow Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices What is flow? System pressure is reduced as water travels through the piping system because of friction.
73 Flow Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices What is flow? Example of friction and pressure: McDonalds Straw vs. School Straw
74 Flow Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices What is flow? Flow is dependent on the total pressure loss in a piping system, which is a combination of: Elevation pressure loss (or gain) Friction-related pressure loss
75 Flow Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices What is flow? Elevation pressure loss
76 Flow Fire Pump Testing Requirements & Practices What is flow? Friction-related loss
77 Summary 1-Foot of Head = 0.43 lb. / sq. in Feet of Head = 1.0 lb. / sq. in 0.43 and 2.31 convert Feet of Head to PSI and vise versa Static Pressure = No flow and is dependent on elevation Residual Pressure = Lower pressure than static pressure
78 Summary Continued As elevation decreases, static pressure decreases As elevation increases, static pressure increases When piping length increases: Friction increase System residual pressure decreases Total pressure loss in a piping system is a combination of the elevation pressure loss and the friction-related pressure loss.

80 PART 3 FIRE PUMPS
81 Fire Pumps Goals: To learn about types of fire pumps and major components To learn how fire pumps work To learn about fire pump curves To learn about cavitation To learn about Net Positive Suction Head
82 Cornell University What exactly is a fire pump? It s a mechanical device that increases water pressure and flow in a fire sprinkler or standpipe system.
83 Cornell University Fire pump
84 Cornell University Fire pump
85 Cornell University Fire pump, but
86 Cornell University Why do we need a fire pump? Per FCNYS, section (2010) or (2015),Required Water Supply: An approved water supply capable of supplying the required fire flow for fire protection shall be provided to premises upon which facilities, buildings or portions of buildings are hereafter constructed or moved into or within the jurisdiction. If the water supply is inadequate, then a fire pump is needed to improve the water supply pressure and resulting flow.
87 Typical Fire Pumps Horizontal Split Case (HSC) Fire Pump
88 Typical Fire Pumps Vertical Inline Fire Pump
89 Not So Typical Fire Pumps Vertical Shaft Turbine Pump
90 Not So Typical Fire Pumps Positive Displacement Pump
91 Cornell University How does a pump work?
92 Fire Pumps Typical Applications: High-rise & partially sprinklered buildings Automatic standpipe Per NFPA 14
93 Fire Pumps
94 Fire Pumps
95 Fire Pumps Typical Applications: Where sprinkler demands are above average: Storage
96 Fire Pumps Typical Applications: Where sprinkler demands are above average: Industrial and high hazard facilities
97 Fire Pumps Typical Applications: Where water supply is inadequate:
98 Fire Pumps Typical Assembly in a Horizontal Split Case (HSC) Fire Pump
99 Fire Pumps What do pumps do? They increase (boost) pressure They circulate and lift water They increase water flow
100 Fire Pumps They boost pressure...
101 Fire Pumps They boost pressure... NET BOOST pressure is the difference between the discharge pressure and suction (or pump inlet) pressure.
102 Fire Pumps They boost pressure...
103 Fire Pumps They boost pressure...
104 Fire Pumps They lift water...
105 Fire Pumps And they increase flow...
106 Fire Pumps Factory Pump Curve
107 Fire Pumps Cavitation Occurs when pump inlet pressure is too low (from obstructions or dist. system issues). Bubbles form at impeller inlet. Bubbles move to impeller outlet and collapse, causing a miniature shockwave. Can damage pump impeller and casing.
108 Fire Pumps Cavitation Prevented by keeping inlet pressure above the Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH). NPSH is identified as a line on the pump curve. As flow increases, so does the NPSH.
109 Fire Pumps NPSH
110 Fire Pumps TRUE OR FALSE? A fire pump s normal inlet pressure is 50 PSI. When the pump inlet pressure falls to 25 PSI, the pump fails its flow test.
111 Fire Pumps FALSE
112 Fire Pumps Varying inlet pressure affects discharge pressure. The net boost pressure is what s being measured during the annual test, not discharge pressure. Boost pressure should always be the same regardless of street-side pressure.

156 Questions?
157 PART 5 PRECAUTIONS & LESSONS LEARNED
158 Precautions & Lessons Learned Some things to keep in mind before and during a flow test.
159 Precautions & Lessons Learned Verify instruments are calibrated and undamaged before every test. Are needles all at Zero?
160 Precautions & Lessons Learned Verify instruments are calibrated and undamaged before every test. Are pitot openings perfectly round and/or unbent?
161 Precautions & Lessons Learned Verify instruments are calibrated and undamaged before every test. Any leaks in gauge tubing or fire hoses?
162 Precautions & Lessons Learned What can happen with a bad gauge: Pump rated at 65 PSI net 100% flow. Suction gauge reads 40 PSI. Discharge gauge reads 100 PSI. 95% cutoff is PSI net boost. Gauges reveal 60 PSI net boost. Re-tested with new gauges: Suction 40 PSI Discharge 102 PSI Net boost now 62 PSI. First gauge was reading low by 2 PSI!
163 Precautions & Lessons Learned Another example of a bad gauge: Unknowingly, pitot gauge is reading 5 PSI high. When its really 15 PSI, it s reading 20 PSI. T&I team choke flow down to achieve 15 PSI to get 425 GPM. Since real pressure is now at 10 PSI, flow is really 347 GPM, not 425 GPM, and will indicate a higher boost pressure on the curve. An extra set of gauges or semi-annual recalibration helps minimize error potential.
164 Precautions & Lessons Learned Don t measure pitot or nozzle pressures below the minimum pressure on the chart. The reading will be inaccurate, and could result in a failed pump that s not really impaired.
165 Precautions & Lessons Learned 1¾"
166 Precautions & Lessons Learned If there are two methods of testing available, use one to check the calibration of the other. Pitot to check in-lines and vice versa. If both provide same results, then assume both are properly calibrated. If results not identical, use process of elimination rule out bad device. Take away - Bad gauges, damaged pitots, leaky hoses can lead to an impaired pump.
167 Precautions & Lessons Learned ALWAYS flush system before testing. Rocks could damage pitots. Scale could clog pitots and in-line flow meter ports. ALWAYS make sure pitots are pointed backward during flush.
168 Precautions & Lessons Learned Be aware of elevation differences between discharge point and flow device gauge locations. A 12-foot elevation difference would create a 5 PSI error, possibly leading to an impaired pump.
169 Precautions & Lessons Learned Remote gauge
170 Precautions & Lessons Learned Know where to discharge water to. A 1,000 GPM pump could equal roughly 20,000 gallons worth of destroyed landscaping.
171 Precautions & Lessons Learned
172 Precautions & Lessons Learned Per NFPA 25-08, section ( in 25-14), ALWAYS check packings prior to runs. Packings need to drip! Dry packings will burn up if tightened too much. Loose packings could lead to slight performance drop.
173 Precautions & Lessons Learned Typical Fire Pump Rotating Assembly
174 Precautions & Lessons Learned Weill Hall fire pump Over-tightened packing
175 Precautions & Lessons Learned Per NFPA 25-08, section ( in 25-14), ALWAYS verify casing relief valve is open prior to runs. Water flow during churn should be visible. A closed relief valve could cause water in pump to overheat and boil.
176 Precautions & Lessons Learned Per NFPA 25-08, section ( in 25-14), ALWAYS verify casing relief valve is open prior to runs. Cavitation is boiling water!
177 Precautions & Lessons Learned Per NFPA and 25-14, section , always close main relief before testing. Churn and lower-flow pressures won t match factory test curve if valve is allowed to open. Don t forget to open valve after test and reflow to make sure valve opens and closes at the correct settings.
178 Precautions & Lessons Learned Employ gauges on hydrant nearest the pump. AWWA calls for minimum distribution system residual pressure of 20 PSI. If pump inlet is below 20 psi at 150% flow, and hydrant gauge is not, 150% test can continue. Unusually high pressure delta between hydrant and pump could indicate an obstruction or undersized piping. Helps to diagnose low pump inlet pressure situations.
179 Precautions & Lessons Learned Sometimes, pumps fail the acceptance test or annual tests!
180 Precautions & Lessons Learned This could be due to something other than the pump or driver. Be aware of how much fire hose is used. NFPA 20-07, section A (A in 20-13), hose length shall be minimized. Too much hose can lead to lower than acceptable flow at 150%. Each 50-ft. length of 2 ½ hose creates around 6 PSI of resistance at 250 GPM.
181 Precautions & Lessons Learned This could be due to something other than the pump or driver. Simple way to check If test header hose valves are full open and flow is not achieved, then there is extra resistance somewhere in the flow path. If the hose valves need to be partially closed to achieve required flow, then pump is providing more pressure than is consumed by the header and hoses.
182 Precautions & Lessons Learned This could be due to something other than the pump or driver. If current test pressures are higher than last year s, that s a clue that something is not right. Compare current readings to the last two years, if possible. A pump will never get better, only worse.
183 Precautions & Lessons Learned Valid readings?
184 Code Requirements Related to Fire Pumps TRUE OR FALSE? Excessive elevation difference between nozzle and pressure gauge will affect reading.
185 Code Requirements Related to Fire Pumps TRUE
186 Code Requirements Related to Fire Pumps For each foot of elevation change, the gauge will vary by 0.43 PSI A gauge manifold located on a hill 10 feet above the hose monster nozzle will read 4.3 PSI lower than the actual If a pump was operating at 97 PSI (out of 100 PSI), gauge would read 92.7 PSI Pump would be incorrectly identified as impaired
187 Code Requirements Related to Fire Pumps What s the deal with over-amping? Motors are rated for a maximum amperage. On occasion, cavitation will occur. And amps will increase. Why is this?
188 Code Requirements Related to Fire Pumps What s the deal with over-amping? Electric motor horsepower increases when it s doing more work. More flow equates to more work. No flow equates to less work.
189 Code Requirements Related to Fire Pumps What s the deal with over-amping?
190 Code Requirements Related to Fire Pumps What s the deal with over-amping? So, amps are lower at churn than during flow. Pump is designed so amps do not exceed max. amp rating at or below 150% under normal inlet conditions.
191 Code Requirements Related to Fire Pumps What s the deal with over-amping?
192 Code Requirements Related to Fire Pumps Data plates and NFPA & Section states that the certified factory test curve shall be available to compare acceptance test results to.
193 Code Requirements Related to Fire Pumps Be aware of when you test Cold weather is not kind to testing
