This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of hydraulic models, defined as computerized pipe network analysis thatuse energy loss equations. Hydraulic models are used to determine the flow rates,pressures, and water quality in theindividual sections of a pipingnetwork. Field testing is presented, and includes themeasurement of flow, pressure, or waterquality indicators under certain conditions. Topics presented include: hydraulic grade line (HGL) tests; hydrant (fire) flow tests; closed valves; and, examples from North Carolina municipalities. Includes figures.
