Pressure gets water to the fire, but it's water flow that puts the fire out! Getting the right flow on the fire is critical. Forget using rule-of-thumb based on variables such as pressure readings, hose size, length, and friction loss. Flowmeters give an exact and immediate measure of the water being used.
The Insight Ultimate is a flowmeter and pressure indicator that displays the flow rate and the pressure at the discharge.
The INSIGHT ULTIMATE digital flowmeter and pressure indicator combines a digital LED flow display and a traditional style electronic pressure indicator into one practical display module. The digital flowmeter is a 4-digit LED display driven by a paddlewheel flow sensor. The pressure indicator is an electronically Controlled analog display. A microprocessor controls the needle movement to provide an accurate and steady pressure display. Leakage and freeze-up problems common in mechanical pressure gauges are eliminated.
Fire Research Insight model FPA400-035 combination digital flowmeter and pressure indicator kit shall be installed. The kit shall include a flowmeter/pressure display module, paddlewheel flow sensor, flow sensor housing with a mount for 3-1/2" plumbing, pressure sensor, and interconnecting cables. The display module case shall be waterproof, manufactured of anodized machined aluminum, and have dimensions not to exceed 4-3/8" high by 4-3/8" wide by 3-1/2" deep. The module shall have a digital LED display for flow with super bright digits more than 3/8" high. Flow rate shall be displayed in GPM. The module shall have an analog display for pressure with an expanded scale in the normal operating range for more accurate readings. The pressure indicator input and movement shall be electronic. Pressure shall be displayed in PSI.
