250 GPM. - ANS-A. 50 psi
B. 60 psi (Correct Answer)
C. Ninety six psi
D. 106 psi
FL (Supply Line) = C x (Q (Supply)/100)² x L/100
FL (Supply Line) = 0.2 x (500/one hundred)² x 500/100
FL (Supply Line) = 0.2 x (five)² x five
FL (Supply Line) = zero.2 x 25 x five
FL (Supply Line) = 25
FL = 2 x (250/one hundred)² x (two hundred/a hundred)
FL = 2 x (2.5)² x 2
FL = 2 x 6.25 x 2
