Hydraulics

Friction loss practice problems that build pump-operator speed.

Practice the relationship between flow, hose size and length, then apply the answer to an actual PDP decision.

Work these variations

  • Same hose, increasing flow.
  • Same flow, longer stretch.
  • Compare attack-line diameters.
  • Split flow through multiple supply lines.
  • Combine friction loss with nozzle pressure and elevation.
