Hydrant_0332_Marsh_Road.pdf

This is a Hydrant Flow Test Results document for the Beaufort County Detention Center Gymnasium Conversion Project in South Carolina. The document presents technical specifications and performance data for hydrant PR0332 located on Marsh Road, which was tested on May 7, 2024. The hydrant, a Mueller Super Centurion model manufactured in 1988, was subjected to a five-minute flow test beginning at 12:10 PM. Testing parameters included static pressure measurements of 59 psi, residual pressure of 39 psi, and a pitot pressure of 20 psi. The hydrant demonstrated a discharge capacity of 750.65 gallons per minute with a total volume of 3,753.25 gallons released during the test period. The hydrant opens in a counterclockwise direction with a steamer nozzle height of 20 inches to grade.

This flow test data appears to serve as supporting documentation for infrastructure evaluation related to the Beaufort County Detention Center Gymnasium Conversion Project. The hydrant performance metrics establish baseline fire suppression capabilities in the facility vicinity, which is essential for verifying adequate water supply and pressure for emergency response systems required during the renovation and conversion of the gymnasium into a dormitory-style inmate housing unit. The test results confirm the hydrant's operational status and flow capacity necessary to support the security and safety infrastructure improvements planned as part of the detention center expansion project.
