51
Q

akron quick attack monitor should use what size hose to supply

52
Q

maximum inlet pressure for akron quick attack monitor

53
Q

appliance loss for akron quick attack monitor

54
Q

combination monitor with smooth bore nozzle can flow ___ @ ___ nozzle pressure

55
Q

combination monitor with fog nozzle can flow ___ @ ___ nozzle pressure

A

350-1250 @ 100 psi

56
Q

1st principle of friction loss

A

double the length of hose, doubles the friction loss

57
Q

2nd principle of friction loss

A

if flow rate is doubled then friction loss will be 4 times greater

58
Q

3rd principle of friction loss

A

friction loss varies inversely to the fifth power as the diameter of the hose

friction loss decreases with increase in diameter of hose

59
Q

4th principle of friction loss

A

higher velocity to move same amount of water through smaller diameter hose

increasing pump pressure will overcome friction loss to have correct nozzle pressure

60
Q
