Sophisticated Flow Testing Platform
The Flowbuster was specifically designed as a sophisticated Flow Platform to facilitate the testing of Fire Pumps, Standpipes, and Fire Hydrants by utilizing a pitot tube for precise flow measurement.
Distinguished by its thrust-balanced horizontal configuration, the Flowbuster effectively eliminates the occurrence of hose-end thrashing.
To enable "dry" readings, the flow stream is strategically diverted away from the operator's location.
During operation, the vertical forces exerted by the Flowbuster are meticulously adjusted to apply a negative force on the ground, ensuring optimal unit stability.
The Flowbuster possesses open sides to provide an unobstructed area, facilitating accurate pitot tube placement for precise flow measurement.
Furthermore, the Flowbuster is engineered to be utilized on various surfaces without causing any scouring, as the water is directed upwards upon exit, effectively safeguarding the surrounding grass and dirt surfaces.
Featuring a rectangular frame with nesting tabs, the Flowbuster allows multiple units to be conveniently stacked together when testing necessitates the use of more than one device. A stacking connector is available to firmly fasten the stacked units for enhanced security. Once connected, the device enables the operator to transport the individual units as a single entity effortlessly.
Remarkably lightweight at a mere 8 lbs. each, the Flowbuster can be effortlessly transported up steps and ladders, making it ideal for conducting roof standpipe testing.
