What are Pitot Kits used for?

Pitot gauge kits are among the most trusted flow testing solutions. They’re portable, powerful, and easy to use. By positioning the blade in front of a water-flowing orifice, ITM professionals can read the pressure of moving water. Those pressure readings, in turn, can be converted to gallons per minute (GPM), a measure of how quickly water flows. Lower-than-expected GPM readings may indicate obstructions, leaks, or rust in the network of pipes serving firefighting equipment.

Which dial ranges should I choose?

The gauges in this flow test kit is available in multiple dial ranges. To prolong your gauge’s life, choose a range that places your expected pressures at the center of the dial or in the mid-range. For example, for testing outlets with 30 PSI choose a 0-60 PSI gauge range or for testing outlets with 50 PSI choose a 100 PSI gauge range.
