Professional Booster Flow Testing Services
Fire booster flow testing is usually done on a 5-yearly schedule after a satisfactory hydrostatic test. We simulate fire brigade operations and conduct a flow test through booster connection in accordance with AS 2419 or according to the design’s Standard. This is to verify that there are no blockages between the booster, pump bypass and the most remote hydrant, and to confirm that the required flow and pressure can be achieved during fire fighting.
This test can only be performed by a fire appliance due to the substantial amount of flow or pressure required. We have a fleet of 6 small-sized fire trucks that can perform this type of test reliably and conveniently.
To book a test with us, simply call us at 1300 126 678 or send an enquiry via the form.
We offer white-label fire testing to support fire companies managing a high volume of projects. Call 1300 126 678 to speak to one of our team members or learn more about our white label fire testing.
