Question 1

II. Pumping Pressure:

 A.  Engine pressure equals:
       1.  \_\_\_\_\_ PSI at the Fire Department Connection (FDC), PLUS
       2. \_\_\_\_ PSI per floor of elevation, beginning with the second 
           floor.

Answer 1

150 / 5

Question 2

II. Pumping Pressure:

B.  Friction loss in the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_ is a minimal number and need 
      not be calculated into the above formula.

Answer 2

supply line

Question 3

II. Pumping Pressure:

C.  Example:  Standpipe or sprinkler is activated on the fifth floor.

                         5" Supply Line 
                         \_\_\_\_\_ PSI at the FDC
                           \_\_\_\_ PSI for elevation
