Where:
FL = Friction loss in psi
C = Friction loss coefficient
Q = Flow rate in hundreds of
gpm (Flow÷100)
L = Hose length in hundreds of
feet (Length÷100)
1. If 150 gpm is flowing from
a nozzle, what is the
friction loss for 200 feet of
2-inch hose?
Where:
Pressure in psi EP = Elevation
5 = A constant
