All:

AFSA has asked us to stay topical with posts that are consistent with the 
subject heading.   This helps with looking up past forum threads categorically 
in the archives.   A discussion of main drain tests and flow test safety 
factors is certainly a valid one, but not under the heading of NFPA Vegas 
Convention.

I'm somewhere between torn down the middle and with you on this issue  
Scott. If it was required to estimate the water supply at the riser  
gauge often, as in with every required main drain test, I would  
endorse no safety factor-- the margin of error that makes me most  
uncomfortable is in thinking I know what's there between the hydrant  
flow test and BOR!
