Why didn’t you ask to have the test video-recorded so we ALL can watch? For the good of the order, of course.

The fire pump has nothing to do with it. There is no measuring the flow from it. However, if you colleague is going to pitot an ITC, call me. I want to watch.

I said its a restricted orifice to represent a sprinkler head flowing. Therefore pump pressure is negligible.
