50 feet
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoIt 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.

you need more info than that. you will need to provide the length of the hose and the inside diameter of the hose to calculate the amount of water it will hold
Depends on the water pressure, and the diameter and length of the hose. Sorry, but there really is no one answer.
84.9 gallons.The maths is:Volume = πr2lwhere: r = radius = 2.5"l = length = 1200"and 1 Imperial gallon = 277.4 cubic inchesGoogle will do the Maths for you:http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&source=hp&q=((pi*2.5^2)*(100*12))cubic+inches+in+gallons
in America the standard length of a fire hose is 50 feet Hose used if wildland fire suppression comes in 100 foot sections
Weight of 50ft section of 3 inch hose with water in it?
There are many different types of fire hoses, but the type you're probably picturing is called an "attack hose" that's the hose that takes water from the pumping system to the nozzle. It's the business end of the operation. The typical attack hose is 1530 cm long and has an inner diameter of as much as 7.6 cm. The volume of a hose is the length of the hose, times the area of its circular cross-section. With an inner diameter of 7.6 cm, an attack hose has a cross-section of πr2=3.14*3.8^2= 45.34 square cm. So, the volume of water in a full attack hose is 1530*45.34= 69370.2 cubic cm. That's about 18.32 gallons.
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)
Common terminology used in the fire department includes "10-4" (acknowledgment), "mayday" (distress signal), "structure fire" (fire in a building), "hose line" (fire hose), and "incident commander" (person in charge at the scene).
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.
Fire Truck
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.
It is approx 45.7 metres.
109 lbs with no water

Friction loss is one of the things we use that's critical when pumping a fire truck with crosslays/hose off the truck. The most common formula runs off 100ft sections in the following size/FL format: 1.75 hose (crosslay/jump line): ~13.5 PSI loss per 100' section 2.5" hose (blitz line): ~18 PSI loss per 100' section 5" hose: .08 PSI loss per 100' section All rates are based on your typical flow rate in GPM's...however the more gallonage the more friction loss. There is an accepted standard for GPM and friction loss: 1.5" hose 100GPM at 30PSI per 100' 1.75" hose 150 GPM at 32 PSI per 100'
