Pumping Apparatus Driver/Operator Handbook

Question 1

For a given flow velocity, friction loss is approximately the same, regardless of the pressure on the water

Answer 1

Fouth Principle of Friction Loss

Question 2

For the same discharge friction loss varies inversely as the 5th power of the diameter of the hose

Answer 2

Third Principle of Friction Loss

Question 3

When hoses are the same size, friction loss varies approximately with the square of the increase in the velocity of the flow

Answer 3

Second Principle of Friction Loss

Question 4

If all other conditions are the same, friction loss varies directly with the length of the hose or pipe

Answer 4

First Principle of Friction Loss
