In Italy diameters are measured in millimeters. I think that the international standard (outside UK and US) is millimeters, not centimeters. Here for underground and over ground hydrants most commons diameters are 45 mm and 70 mm. Flow capacity is measured in liters / minute but in Italy normally

i've started drafting a proposal for some tags to extend the fire_hydrant tagging system. i have a question for the non-US mappers... in the US, the American Water Works Association has a classification system dividing hydrants into 4 groups based on their flow capacity (e.g., class AA is
