The best way I know of to accurately run this test is to flow a hyd. On one
side of the loop main to the sprinkler system and gauge another hyd. On the
other side of the sprinkler system conn. to the loop main.

_____________A___________T___________B__________

Where A is the flow hyd.
Where B is the Gauge Hyd.
And tee is where the sprinkler system main meets the loop.

Your flow info should be accurate at T, but to verify switch the flow and
gauge hyd. And reading should be the same. Then use T as the point of
connection in your calc's.
