How many gallons of water in a two and one half inch fire hose?

That's kinda gonna depend on how long the hose is. Without doing any figures
or math at all, we're pretty sure that a one-foot-long piece of 2-1/2" hose will
hold more water than a 100-foot-long piece.
In fact, when we do some figures, we can tell you that it'll hold one gallon of water
in every 47.1 inch length of hose.

How many gallons of water is in a 2.5 inch fire hose fifty feet long?
12.5
How many gallons of water in a half inch diameter hose fifty feet long?
Do you mean a fixed length of 5 inch pipe or are you asking to the amount of laminar flow through a 5 inch pipe? There is not enough info here to answer. Need length of pipe and what you are asking.
Why it is difficult for a fire fighter to hold a hose that ejects large amount of water at high speed?
The third law explains this. The high speed and high pressure at which the water comes out of the hose has a reaction force. If left on the ground the hose will wiggle violently to expend part of this energy. However, if the firefighter holds on to it, he will have to bear the reaction force of the fast moving jet of water
Why does the stream of water travel farther when less water is flowing from the end of the hose?
When using a high pressure pump, you'll find that a smaller output nozzle gives *shorter* spray than a large nozzle. Small nozzles limit the flow. Yet with a garden hose things are reversed. Why? It's because the long narrow hose and the pipes connecting it are acting like "friction." If you turn on the water, the hose rubs against the wate, and water flows relatively slowly out the end of the hose. Also, the water pressure at the open end of the hose is very low. Now install a garden sprayer at the hose end. This will greatly slow down the water flow, and the effect of friction is greatly reduced. The pressure at the far end of the hose rises, and this high pressure can create a very long (but narrow) spray. Another way to explain is with numbers. The greater the fluid resistance is to a constant flow, the greater the pressure-difference must be across that resistance. The fluid resistance value of the hose is large, while the resistance value of the hose-end is small, and since the same flow goes through both the hose and through its end-opening, most of the pressure-difference appears along the hose, while very little pressure-difference appears between the hose and its opening. Now install a very narrow opening. If the fluid resistance of this nozzle is the same as the fluid resistance of the hose, then half of the faucet pressure appears along the hose, while the other half appears between the hose-end and the outside world. The nozzle has increased the pressure at the hose end. And if the fluid resistance value of the nozzle is much greater than that of the hose, then nearly all of the faucet pressure will appear at the nozzle. So, to produce a long jet of water, use a very wide hose and a very narrow nozzle. Or even better, entirely get rid of the resistance created by the hose, and connect the nozzle directly to a high pressure water pump.

How many gallons of water to fill a 2 inch fire hose?
A standard fire hose is 50 feet long. A hose this length with a 2-inch radius grants about 4.36 cubic feet. This volume holds 32 gallons of water.
How many gallons of water is in a 2.5 inch fire hose fifty feet long?
12.5
How much does a 100 ft section of 2.5 inch in diameter fire hose weigh with water?
That section of hose holds 25.5 gallons of water when it's full, which weighs about 213 pounds. To that, add the weight of the empty hose, which I don't know.
How does a fire hose stop a fire?
A fire hose is used to stop a fire by its ability to transfer water. The hose will deliver water from a source through a nozzle and onto the flames. We typically find a hose connected to a pump, which provides water under pressure. The hose will deliver that pressurized water to the nozzle, and a firefighter can direct the stream as needed.
Do chickens like the hose?
A garden hose as a means to get water, yes. A fire hose, no.
How much water is in 100 feet five inch hose?
A 100-foot hose with an inside diameter of five inches can hold 102 US gallons of water.
How much water volume does a 1.5 inch hose carry per foot of hose?
1.03 gallons
How many gallons of water in a 2.5 inch hose 100 feet long?
There need not be any water at all in the hose! The capacity of the hose is 3.41 cubic feet.
What is a fire hose used for?
Fire hose is typically utilized to fight fires. Fire hose is also used for irrigation or pumping purposes. There are also some other unique uses of fire hose including: * Used as softeners in rigging to protect slings * Watering and De-watering * Dust Suppression and Control * Landscaping, Sand Bags, Drip Hoses for Watering Plans * Pumping waters * Marina Bumpers * For Zoos for animal hammocks and climbing rope
How fire pump work?
when there is a fire the fire engine pulls up and hopefully connects a hose to a fire hydrant and that brings water into the engine. The fire engine then pumps the water from the hydrant to the engine and finally to the hoses and they help pump water up to the hose to stop a fire.
