The five yearly fire hydrant test involves the inspection, overhaul and testing of all components of a fire protection system. This test will ensure the valves and the pipework are capable of withstanding the pressure fluctuations that the fire brigade put on the system when fighting a fire.
Field personnel should slowly open each flowing fire hydrant, one at a time, to avoid pressure surges. After the residual pressure read from the outlet cap stabilizes, take readings at each flow hydrant using a pitot gauge. Residual pressure and pitot gauge readings must be taken simultaneously.
The purpose of a hydrant flow test is to evaluate the water supply, or the flow-rate that will be available when the system is brough down to 20 psi residual. A hydrant flow test requires three measurements: static pressure, residual pressure and test flow-rate.
Testing and/or inspection An inspection of a fire hydrant looks at the hydrant pit, frame, cover, the surface surrounding the hydrant and the frost valve, if fitted. The hydrant indicator plate will also be checked. All joints will be visually inspected for any signs of leakage.
NFPA 291 requires that fire hydrant flow tests be performed every 5 years and fire hydrant inspections be performed annually. Fire hydrant inspections and testing should be performed by a licensed professional.

NFPA 291 provides guidance on fire flow tests and marking of hydrants in order to determine and indicate the relative available fire service water supply from hydrants and to identify possible deficiencies which could be corrected to ensure adequate fire flows as needed.
