How much does a 50 foot section of 3 inch diameter fire hose weigh?
A 50-foot section of 3-inch diameter fire hose typically weighs between 25 to 30 pounds, depending on the specific materials and construction of the hose. The weight can vary slightly based on factors such as the hose's lining and reinforcement. Fire hoses are designed to be durable yet manageable for firefighters, balancing weight with performance.
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 much does a fire hose reel typically weigh?
Fire hose reels are much stronger than typical home-based hose reels people use to water their gardens and lawns. Typical heavy duty fire hose reels weigh anywhere from 25 to 35 pounds. In kilograms, the weight of typical reels are 11-15 kg.
How much does 100 ft of 4 inch rubber hose weigh?
The weight of rubber hose varies depending on the density of the rubber material. On average, a 4-inch rubber hose weighs about 0.15-0.2 pounds per foot. So, 100 feet of 4-inch rubber hose would weigh approximately 15-20 pounds.
How much does a 50 ft section of 2.5 inch dia fire hose weigh with water?
If it's full of water, then the water in it weighs about 106.5 pounds. I have no way of knowing what the empty hose weighs by itself. Whatever it is, you'll need to add that to 106.5 pounds.
How much does 100' of 3 hose filled with water weigh?
Assuming the hose has an inner diameter of 1 inch, 100 feet of 3" hose filled with water would weigh approximately 6,242 pounds.
How much does a 50 ft section of 5 inch diameter fire hose weight?
109 lbs with no water
How much does a 100 ft section of 5 inch in diameter fire hose weigh with water?
It is an accepted fire service understanding that 5" Large Diameter Hose (LDH) will hold 1 gallon/ft. On average a 100' section of 5" empty weighs 110 lbs. With water weighing 8.33 lbs/gal. a 100' section of LDH filled with water will weigh approximately 944 lbs.
How much does 100 foot of 5 inch hose weigh full of water?
Around 943 lbs. Water weighs 8.33 lbs/gal. 5 inch hose holds 1 gal per 1 foot of hose. So 8.33x100 foot is 833 lbs. Add that to the 110 lbs that the hose weighs empty and you have 943 lbs
How much does a 100 ft section of 6 inch fire hose hold?
If "6 inch" is the inside diameter of the hose, thenVolume = (pi) (radius)2 (length) = (pi) (3)2 (1,200) = 33,929.2 cubic inches = 146.88 gallons (rounded)
How much supply hose does NFPA recommend pumpers carry?
NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus - Requires pumpers to carry: * 15 feet of large soft sleeve hose or 20 feet of hard suction hose * 1200 feet of 2 ½ inch or larger supply hose * 400 feet of 1 ½ , 1 ¾, or 2 inch attack hose
Which as more resistance a garden hose or a fire?
Difficult to say. Hydraulic resistance is proportional to diameter as well as length and velocity. Water moving very slowly in a short length of either type of hose would have negligible resistance. The more likely answer you want is that high-velocity water in a garden hose would experience MUCH more resistance (friction loss) than that in any fire hose of larger diameter. The actual numbers will depend upon specific friction-loss factors, including the type and size of hose and the gallons per minute. For example, the friction loss coefficient in a 1.5-inch fire hose (24) is more than ten times what it would be in a 2.5-inch hose (2.0) and 100 times that of a 4-inch hose (0.2).
