I’ve never seen them all identical.

Subject: Playpipe Pitot Pressures - Fire Pump Annual Tests


In my insurance days, I seldom had the same pitot pressures from playpipes. The 
pressures would be the same on several but others would be 1 to 2 psi different.

I'm seeing fire pump reports consistently showing all the same pitot pressures 
for all four to six playpipes. I'm questioning that based on my past 
experience. Is the same pressures on pitots that common?
