FRICTION LOSS CHART (CONT) CELLAR PIPE LADDER PIPE ASSEMBLY (SIAMESE, 10OFT 3" HOSE, LADDER, PIPE STANDPIPE MONITOR NOZZLE OR WAGON PIPE Pre piped Ladder Pipe (Seagrave) E.P. FOR SPRINKLER SYSTEMS E.P. FOR SPRINKLER/STANDPIPE HEAVY DUTY FOG JN-200 FOG NOZZLE When calculating the engine pressure necessary to supply the JN-200, consider the variable gallonage. With the red marks in line (30 degrees), delivery and formula are the same as 11/2"tip. With maximum opening (90 degrees), delivery and formula are the same as 2" tip. Other settings require intermediate tip equivalencies. NOTE: when supplying the wagon pipe through hose connected to either the siamese or its base, or a wagon pipe siamese provided on apparatus, use the engine pressure formula with nozzle pressure and friction loss allowance for tip being used plus friction loss allowance for wagon pipe. When supplying the wagon pipe through a piping system leading from the discharge of the pump, the pump pressure recommended by the Training Academy for each individual piece of apparatus shall be used. ENGINE PRESSURE FOR SPRINKLER SYSTEMS Use 125 psi engine pressure unless otherwise ordered. ENGINE PRESSURE FOR COMBINATION SPRINKLER/STANDPIPE SYSTEMS Use 175 psi engine pressure until notified that a higher pressure is needed. ENGINE PRESSURE FOR METRO STANDPIPE SYSTEMS When charging a Metro standpipe you shall consider the design of the system and which system is being supplied III-9 50 PSI 50 PSI 25 PSI 20 PSI 115 PSI 125 PSI 175 PSI
