Q

What is the GPM formula for a sprinkler head

26
Q

What is the friction loss for stand pipe

27
Q

When flowing between two identical lines to a Siamese how do you figure

A

Divide the flow by two and figure from there

28
Q

When pumping up or down hill what pressure do you add/subtract

29
Q

What pressure do you pump the sprinkler system

30
Q

Where should the engine be when pumping a sprinkler system

A

At the hydrant to overcome friction loss and the lines between hydrant in the FDC

31
Q

What is the friction loss for a water tower

32
Q

What is the formula for determining the net pump pressure

A

Discharge pressure- intake pressure

33
Q

What is the formula for determining net pump pressure at a draft

A

(Dis pres) +.5 height of lift

34
Q

What is the initial pressure from relay pumping operations

35
Q

What is the shutdown procedure for relay pumping

A

Attack engine throttle down take the pump out of gear and lets the water continue to flow. The next engine follows the same procedure in addition to opening an additional discharge, this continues until the source engine is reached and shut down

Available pressure -20 PSI

38
Q

How do you figure percent drop

A

Static pressure minus residual pressure times 100 divided by static pressure

39
