Pump status, production <br />flows, control valve settings, storage tank levels, etc., <br />for a specific demand condition, are set within the <br />model to limit the number of variables. <br />Adjustments: Pipe C- factors, pump speeds, pump <br />curves, control valve settings, pipe minor loss <br />coefficients, and diurnal curves may be adjusted to <br />achieve comparison between model results and field <br />It is recommended to perform hydrant pressure data, to achieve a match within 10% or 10psi of <br />testing in the green circles (no shade), which indicate recorded pressure goals. Adjustments will be made <br />1) zero leak reports, and 2) areas in the system with based on industry acceptable ranges, based on IDM <br />higher redundancy to support higher fire flows and experience, and best practices as defined by the <br />thus, a greater pressure drop for model calibration. <br />'}K.IDMODELING© <br />We can he more, together. <br />13 <br />
