From a firefighting perspective, how do do I calculate losses through hose lines?
How much water can flow through a 6-inch Yellow Storz hose line? What about an 8-inch? Is there a pressure associated with the calculation? Thanks in advance. Sent in anonymously for discussion. Click Title to View | Submit Your Question | Subscribe

Dan and other have it right here (again). Need the tables from the manufacturer.

without getting into the various equations used for sizing piping and designing plumbing systems, Hazen Williams, Manning's Formula etc .... I would go to

You’ll need the friction loss table from the hose manufacturer and appliance such as a master stream. It’s just a straightforward hydraulic calc from there

I flubbed this one. Sorry folks! We just covered it last week but I had thought I bumped it back. Apologies!
