Has anyone had issues with the hydrant available flow being less than the hydrant design flow? It has always been my impression that the hydrant available flow has less constraints and therefore would have a higher fire flow than that of the hydrant design flow. But, our output is showing the opposite. Is this an issue with the latest release or is there something I am misunderstanding? Is there a better place for me to post this question?
I ended up posting a similar question. I think there's something wrong with the update. In the new update, the available flow will consider the pipe velocity and hydrant pressure. I had a few design flows higher than the available flow, but only by a few gpm. Previously, the available flow only considered the pressure of the hydrant flowing.
