2. Fire hydrant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_hydrant

   A fire hydrant, fireplug, [1] firecock (archaic), [2] hydrant riser or Johnny Pump [3] [better source needed] is a connection point by which firefighters can tap into a water supply. It is a component of active fire protection. Underground fire hydrants have been used in Europe and Asia since at least the 18th century. Above-ground pillar-type ...

3. Booster pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booster_pump

   Small compressed air powered breathing gas booster pump Haskell booster set up for charging rebreather cylinders from premix banks with low pressure compressor. A booster pump is a machine which increases the pressure of a fluid. It may be used with liquids or gases, and the construction details vary depending on the fluid.

4. Fire pump - Wikipedia

   The control equipment for jockey pumps may however carry approvals. Jockey pumps should be sized for 3% of the flow of the main fire pump and to provide 10psi more pressure than the main fire pump (As per Code IS 15105 : 2002) In the United States, the application of a jockey pump in a fire protection system is provided by NFPA 20.

5. Fire hose - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_hose

   Standards set by the National Fire Protection Association require that each length of new double jacket, rubber-lined attack hose must be pressure tested to 600 psi (41.4 bar; 4,140 kPa), but most manufacturers test to 800 psi (55.2 bar; 5,520 kPa). Subsequent to delivery, the hose is tested annually to 400 psi (27.6 bar; 2,760 kPa) by the fire ...

6. Water injection (oil production) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_injection_(oil...

   The single water injection booster pump (221 m 3 /hr, 1,379 m (139 bar) differential head) took its suction from the discharge of the water injection pumps and discharged to the 5,000 psi (345 bar) manifold and wellheads. There were eight water injection wells, each well had a capacity of 15,000 BWPD (99.4 m 3 /hr). [3]

7. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

   A typical nominal regulated gauge pressure from a medical oxygen regulator is 3.4 bars (50 psi), for an absolute pressure of approximately 4.4 bar and a pressure ratio of about 4.4 without back pressure, so they will have choked flow in the metering orifices for a downstream (outlet) pressure of up to about 2.3 bar absolute.
