Pump Discharge Pressure (PDP)

PDP = NP + FL + AL +/- EP



NP= nozzle pressure


FL= friction loss


AL= appliance loss


EP= elevation pressure

PDP for 150' of 1 3/4" with 7/8" @160 GPM


(Pre-connect Crosslays)

PDP = 50 + 38 = 88psi

PDP for 200' of 2 1/2" with 1 1/8" @ 250


(Pre-connects)

PDP = 50 + 2(12.5) = 75psi

FL for 1 3/4" flowing @ 160gpm

25 psi per 100 ft

FL for 2 1/2" flowing 250 gpm

12.5 psi per 100 ft

(Wildland Pre-connect)

9 psi



PDP = 100 + 9 = 109

PDP= 200' of 1" Booster Line flowing 40 gpm

PDP = 100 + 48 = 148 (PUMP @ 140)

PDP for 105' Aerial

150 psi + EP to achieve 1000 gpm max

PDP for Deck Gun

PDP = 80 NP + 25 AL = 105 psi

Appliance Friction Loss



Adapters

+ 10 psi if < 350 gpm

Appliance Friction Loss



Appliance

+ 25 psi if < 350 gpm

Supplying Automatic Sprinkler System

PDP @ 150 PSI



+ 10 psi for each additional 100' of hose

Supplying Standpipe System

PDP = NP + FL + 25 AL + EP

Elevation Pressure

EP = 0.5H



or



EP = 5psi x (number of stories - 1)
