Summary:
Airport hydrant systems are large underground pressurized piping systems. Typically, these systems operate with a pressure of about 150 psi and range in diameter from 6 in. to 16 in. Systems vary in their design, but typically have trunk lines and laterals that end in hydrant pits. These systems are orders of magnitude larger than piping systems found at retail fuel outlets. The lines themselves may contain 250 000 to 500 000 gal of product. Since they are large and operate at high pressure, the potential for environmental damage in the event of a leak is correspondingly increased.
