  2. North American Fire Hose Coupler Incompatibilities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Fire_Hose...

    At its annual convention at Dallas, TX, the NFPA formally adopted a standard with 2 + 12-inch hose with 7.5 threads per inch as the primary standard, with additional sizes of 3 and 3.5 inches (each with 6 threads per inch) and a 4.5 inch coupling with 4 threads per inch, with the fire hydrant standard specifying one 4.5 inch port and two 2 ...

  3. Muzzle velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_velocity

    In some instances, the powder may not have even been fully burned in guns with short barrels. So, the muzzle velocity of a 2-inch (51 mm) barrel is less than that of a 4-inch (100 mm) barrel, which is less than that of a 6-inch (150 mm) barrel. Large naval guns will have high length-to-diameter ratios, ranging between 38:1 to 50:1. This length ...

  4. K-factor (fire protection) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-factor_(fire_protection)

    Using metric units, the volumetric flow rate of a nozzle is given by =, [1] [2] where q is the flow rate in litres per minute ( l/min ), p is the pressure at the nozzle in bar and K is the K-factor is given in units of (/) /.

  5. Discharge coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discharge_coefficient

    In a nozzle or other constriction, the discharge coefficient (also known as coefficient of discharge or efflux coefficient) is the ratio of the actual discharge to the ideal discharge, [1] i.e., the ratio of the mass flow rate at the discharge end of the nozzle to that of an ideal nozzle which expands an identical working fluid from the same initial conditions to the same exit pressures.

    A short piece of fire hose, usually 10 to 20 feet (6.1 m) long, of large diameter, greater than 2.5 inches (64 mm) and as large as 6 inches (150 mm), used to move water from a fire hydrant to the fire engine, when the fire apparatus is parked close to the hydrant. Solid stream A fire-fighting water stream emitted from a smooth-bore nozzle.

  8. Fire hose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_hose

    Supply lines, used to supply firefighting apparatus with water, are frequently found in 3 + 12, 4, 4 + 12, 5 and 6-inch diameters. There are several systems available for repairing holes in fire hoses, the most common being the Stenor Merlin, which offer patching materials for Type 1, 2, and 3 hoses. The patches come in two different ...

  9. Isentropic nozzle flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_Nozzle_Flow

    If the reservoir pressure is held constant and the receiver pressure reduced, the Mach number at the exit of the nozzle will increase until M e = 1 is reached, indicated by the left curve in figure 2. After M e = 1 is reached at the nozzle exit for p r = 0.5283p 0, the condition of choked flow occurs and the velocity throughout the nozzle ...
