Anyone done some field testing out of curiosity on real systems you've installed and compared the results of FDT vs. real world.
I did once about 6 years ago and FDT and real world were 45 sec. vs. 70 sec. respectively. Raised questions but with a test of one no conclusions. Haven't been involved with FDT since by coincidence.

Look into obtaining FDT calculation software to either prove your systems' ability to meet the water delivery requirements, or what you can save, or what you can change to make them work. _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
