FD Friction Loss Calculator

Fire Department Friction Loss Calculator. Uses C*GPM²*L. Has Reference Lists

Friction Loss Calculator, Needed Fire Flow, Tanker Shuttle / Rural Water and Pump Discharge Pressure calculators. The user can enter any numerical value into each of the text boxes to find the amount of friction loss in a given length of hose. The app allows for any numbers to be used to accommodate newer hoses and coefficients. I have supplied two reference pages with the app for common hose coefficients along with common tip sizes and gallons per minute for each tip size.

Has Needed fire flow calculator based on the Iowa Need fire flow formula. Will give needed GPM's to extinguish fire based on involved building size.

New update has a pump discharge calculator that gives PDP with Elevation (enter in feet), Nozzle Pressure, Appliance Pressure and Residual Pressure. Enter 0 for fields you do not need.

Added Tanker Shuttle Calculator that shows how many gpm a tanker contributes to the water supply.

Stream lined each calculator to make the results and buttons in about the same place on each page.

Note pad for taking notes or saving your pump pressures for different lines.
