A 5 year hydrostatic flow test is a type of test conducted on a fire sprinkler system to ensure that the system is in good working condition and can effectively control and extinguish fires. This test involves filling the system with water and pressurizing it to a level higher than its normal operating pressure.

During the test, water flows through the system’s pipes and out of its sprinkler heads at a predetermined rate, which is measured to ensure that it meets the required flow rate for the system. The test also checks for leaks or other problems in the system, which can indicate potential issues that need to be addressed.

The 5 year hydrostatic flow test is typically required by local building codes or insurance companies as part of a regular maintenance program for fire sprinkler systems. The frequency of the test may vary depending on the system’s design and location, but it is usually recommended to be conducted every 5 years to ensure the system’s reliability and effectiveness in the event of a fire.

It’s important to note that the specific requirements for hydrostatic pressure testing may vary by industry, jurisdiction, and equipment type. It’s best to consult with a qualified inspector or regulatory agency to determine the specific testing requirements for your business.

Hydrostatic pressure testing is typically required for businesses that use high-pressure vessels, piping, and equipment that are subject to high levels of pressure, such as those in the oil and gas, chemical, manufacturing, and industrial sectors.
