Page 2/30 Stockpiles of contents with moderate rates of heat release do not exceed 12 ft and stockpiles with high heat release do not exceed 8 ft (Ref NFPA 13 Sec. 5.3.2) Which of the following standards contain reqs. pertaining to the installation of underground piping? - ANSWER-NFPA 13 & 24 (Both in Chapter 10) Which of the following should you inspect on an extension cord before each use? - ANSWER-The grounding prong & the insulation for nicks, cuts, or damage ________ indicates a mandatory req. according to NFPA definitions. - ANSWER-Shall. (Ref. NFPA 13 2016, Sec. 3.2.4.) 100 GPM is flowing through 100' of 1 1/4 in. Sch. 40 pipe. How many feet of 1 1/2 in. pipe will produce the same friction loss? - ANSWER- Copyright ©EMILLECT 2024. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Page 3/30 Assume this is Schedule 40 pipe, C = 120. Use the Hazen-Williams formula to calculate the friction loss for the 1 ¼ in. pipe and the 1 ½ in. pipe. For 1 ¼ in. pipe (ID = 1.38): P friction loss = 4.52 x Q 1.85 c 1.85 x d 4.87 P friction loss = 4.52 x 100 1.85 120 1.85 x 1.38 4.87 Copyright ©EMILLECT 2024. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Page 4/30 P friction loss = 0.672 psi/ft For 1 ½ in. pipe (ID = 1.61): P friction loss = 4.52 x Q 1.85 c 1.85 x d 4.87 P friction loss = 4.52 x 100 1.85 120 1.85 x 1.61 4.87 Copyright ©EMILLECT 2024. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Page 5/30 P friction loss = 0.317 psi/ft Step #2: Determine the total friction loss for 100 gpm flowing through 100 ft. of 1 ¼ in. Schedule 40 black steel pipe: 100 ft. x 0.672 psi/ft = 67.2 psi Step #3: Determine the pipe length to produce the same friction loss in the 1 ½ in. pipe: y ft. x 0.317 psi/ft = 67.2 psi
