FL = (

Back 21

FL = (2Qsquared + Q) K per 100' of hose for 100 GPM or more
FL = (2Qsquared + 1/2Q) K per 100' of hose for 100 GPM or less
Q = GPM flow divided by 100
GPM = 29.7 x D squared x square root of nozzle pressure x .9

GPM formula

Back 36

GPM = 29.7 x D² x square root of nozzle pressure
D = the diameter
If the opening is anything other than a smooth bore nozzle use: GPM = 29.7 x D² x square root of nozzle pressure x .9
For mental work substitute 30 for 29.7
