Hydrants

Hydrant flow tests with the math done for you

Type the static, residual and flow readings. ExigentOps works out the rated flow at 20 psi and the NFPA 291 class and bonnet color while you type, and keeps every hydrant’s history.

NFPA 291 classes, calculated

Rated flow at 20 psi residual uses the standard formula, QR = QF × ((S − 20) ÷ (S − R))0.54, and the class follows from the result.
