Good morning,
In March my department is planning on running some friction loss and GPM output tests with PONN Conquest combat hose (this is the hose we carry on our apparatus). We have done some digging and are pretty sure that we over pressurize our lines. We have been using old friction loss formulas used on old hose. I contacted the hose manufacturer and discovered that we were correct and have been over pressurizing. Although all the studies given used a smooth bore nozzle. Has anyone done any friction loss studies on PONN Conquest line (1.75, 2, and/or 2.5 inch) while using a Fog Nozzle? Thank you in advance for your input.
