Q

3 different types of monitors in Fairfax

A

1.fixed monitors: permanently attached to pumper. Smooth bore flowing between 500-1000 Gpm
2. Quick attack mercury monitor flows 500 Gpm from either smooth or fog nozzle
3. Combination monitor. Are fixed to the pumper but can be detached and connected to a ground mount to be used as a portable monitor
- smooth bore flows between 500-1000gpm at 80 psi
-fog 350-1250 at 100 psi

Q

1st principle

A

All variables being the same, friction loss will vary directly with the length of hose or pipe. Doubling the length h of hose doubles the friction loss.

Q

2nd principle

A

The friction loss varies approximately with the square of the increase in the velocity of the flow. If the flow rate is doubled the friction loss will be four times greater.

Q

3rd Principle

A

When the flow remains constant the friction loss in a hose will decrease when the diameter of the hose is increased. Larger the hose the smaller the friction loss.

Q

4th principle

A

For any given flow velocity, friction loss is independent of pressure. The velocity of water through a hose line, not pressure, causes friction loss.

22
Q

Friction loss coefficients for hose sizes:

A

1” 150
1 3/4” 10
2” 8
2 1/2” 2
3” .8
3 1/2” .34
4” .2
5” .08
