Most definitely.  Just last week we verified a 6 psi static loss of psi on the 
system side of the bfp, in relation to a fire hydrant's static located just 20' 
from the building.

Subject: Static pressure after backflow preventer



Is there really a pressure loss at 0gpm flow for backflow preventers like the 
curves show?  I am trying to figure out my static pressure on a floor level 
with a fire pump at churn and it needs to be accurate.  
Thanks,
