...if you live in a 2nd floor flat with no garden tap and all the pipes have been capped at floor level because of building work?
How do you find out the flow rate...

you dont!
Turn water off and put an isolation valve a capped cold main in the flat, use a 'ballofix' slotted spherical valve. Then attach a piece of pipe and bend it down so it is pointing to the floor, then turn water on (with ballofix - off).
place a flow gauge under the downward facing pipe and turn ballofix on. the flow gauge will indicate the flowrate.

Incidentally you've nicked my strapline for your user name!

use a burco cup once youve done what the apprentice told you, you should be looking for a flow of 15 litres plus, anything less consider going on a seperate supply, otherwise your flow will seriously be affected by the guy or girl downstairs.
