A

Total pressure loss

18
Q

The _______ whether used as a supply or attack line, presents the simplest friction loss calculation

A

Single hose lay

19
Q

When using more than one hoseline of equal length and equal diameter, friction loss calculations need only be made for

A

One line

20
Q

When two hoselines of equal length are Siamesed to supply a fire stream, friction loss is approximately _______ less than that of a single hoseline at the same nozzle pressure

A

25 percent less

21
Q

In order to determine the required pressure for a standpipe system, the _____ must be calculated

A

Total pressure loss

22
Q

Occasionally, and incident may require the use of multiple hoselines of the same or different diameter that are of unequal length. When presented with this scenario, the driver must calculate the friction loss for each hoseline supplied by separate discharges to individual nozzle. The hose with the highest friction loss represents the __

A

Total pressure loss at the pump, assuming that there is minimal change in elevation

Multiple hoseline unequal length

23
Q

When hoselines are unequal in and or diameter is different, the total pressure loss is based on the

A

Highest pressure loss in any of the lines

24
Q

When calculating pressure loss with a master stream device, the driver operator must add _____ to the pressure loss calculation

A

25 psi

25
Q

When considering pressure loss in an elevated waterway, assume a loss of _____ for the waterway and master steam device

A

25 psi

26
Q

When supplying multiple hoselines, the driver operator will need to compensate for the specific pressure requirements of individual lines. Calculate and set the pump discharge pressure based on the hoseline with the

A

Greatest pressure requirement
