Aqueous dissolved in water
Dry-Barrel Hydrant Fire hydrant that has its operating valve located at the base or foot of the hydrant
rather than in the barrel of the hydrant. When operating properly, there is no water
in the barrel of the hydrant when it is not in use. These hydrants are used in areas
where freezing may occur.
Elevation pressure The amount of pressure created by gravity
Flow pressure Forward pressure at a discharge opening while water is flowing.

Hardness Mineral content of water, usually consisting of calcium and magnesium.
heat of vaporization The amount of energy required for the liquid at its boiling point to become a gas
kinetic energy the energy an object has due to its motion
Normal operating pressure The observed static pressure in a water distribution system during a period of
normal demand.
Pitot gauge A type of gauge that is used to measure the velocity pressure of water that is being
discharged from an opening. It is used to determine the flow of water from a
hydrant.
potential energy stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object
Residual pressure The pressure that exists in the distribution system, measured at the residual hydrant
at the time the flow readings are taken at the flow hydrants.
specific heat index The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance. These
values are determined experimentally and then made available in tabular form.

surface tension Elastic like force at the surface of a liquid, which tends to minimize the surface
area, causing water droplets to form
Turbidity Amount of suspended particles in water
How often should dry hydrants be flow-tested? Annually
Class C fire hydrant color and flow Red; less than 500 gpm
A Class B hydrant has a flow rate of ___________ gallons per 500 to 999 gpm; orange
minute. Color?
CLASS A HYDRANT COLOR AND GPM Green, 1000-1499 GPM
