D. Maneuvering through the markers in 1, 2, 3, then 3, 2, 1 order
For safety reasons, hand lines with solid stream nozzles cannot really be operated
above: - ANSWER-A. 80 psi
,B. 75 psi
C. 65 psi (Correct Answer)
D. 50 psi
The term specific heat refers to the: - ANSWER-A. Amount of heat needed to turn
a liquid into a vapor
B. Amount of heat it takes to raise one pound of water one degree
C. Ability of any substance to absorb heat (Correct Answer)
D. Speed at which water absorbs heat
If water is flowing through 200 feet of 5 inch hose at 300 gpm, then the theoretical
friction loss is approximately: - ANSWER-A. 1.44 psi (Correct Answer)
B. 5.48 psi
C. 5.96 psi
D. 8.98 psi
FL = C x (Q/100)² x (L/100)
,FL = 0.08 x (300/100)² x (200/100)
FL = 0.08 x (3)² x 2
FL = 0.08 x 9 x 2
FL = 1.44
Using the Condensed "Q" formula, calculate the friction loss for 500 feet of 3-inch
hose flowing at 300 GPM is approximately: - ANSWER-A. 1 psi
B. 3 psi
C. 45 psi (Correct Answer)
D. 66 psi
FL = Q(GPM/100)²
FL = Q(300/100)²
FL = Q(3)²
FL = Q(9)
FL = 9 x 5
FL = 45
Most flowmeters in use today have a design based on a(n): - ANSWER-A. Spring
probe (Correct Answer)
B. Paddlewheel
, C. Impeller wheel
D. Vane and needle
Using the condensed "Q" formula, calculate the friction loss for 300 feet of 3-inch
hoseline, flowing 300 GPM. - ANSWER-A. 3.0 psi
B. 9.0 psi
C. 15.0 psi
D. 27.0 psi (Correct Answer)
FL = Q(GPM/100)²
FL = Q(300/100)²
FL = Q(3)²
FL = Q(9)
FL = 9 x 3
FL = 27
