Pressure testing techniques
Just a heads-up—this section is still a work in progress! I’ll be revising and expanding it soon to make sure it’s as useful as possible. Curious about what’s already done or currently in the works? Check the changelog for updates.
Pressure is one ofalling the most fundamental parameters we deal with in hydraulic modeling, and accurately capturing real-world pressures is a cornerstone of building and calibrating a reliable model. This section focuses specifically on the different methodologies you can use to collect pressure data from your system. We’ll begin with static pressure surveys.
This technique involves taking instantaneous pressure readings, often using manual gauges, at multiple strategic points across the network. It’s a great way to get a quick "snapshot" of the system's general pressure landscape under specific conditions, perhaps during a peak or average demand period.
