This  portable  flow  and  pressure  test  meter  was 
developed in conjunction with UK and Irish Fire 
Brigades to meet the need for professional and easy 
appraisal of available pressure and flow at the service 
point.

gETTINg TO KNOW yOUR FLOWMASTER

The main features of the TSI Flowmaster are:

1.1 INTROdUCTION

The Flowmaster is now used by most UK and Irish 
fire  services  and  has  been  exported  to  50  countries. 
The Flowmaster meets the requirements of the JOIFF 
standard, ‘Guideline for the testing of fire hydrants.

Our fire service customers use the Flowmaster to test 
hydrants  and  fire  fighting  equipment  such  as  pumps, 
hoses, dry risers and branches. Customers from the 
water  services  use  the  Flowmaster  when  flushing  to 
regulate  the  flow  rate  and  to  measure  the  volume 

discharged for use in leakage figure calculations.
