109 lbs with no water
Weight of 50ft section of 3 inch hose with water in it?
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.
To calculate the volume of water held by the hose, we first need to find the cross-sectional area of the hose. The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the hose (which is half the diameter). In this case, the radius is 0.75 inches. Converting the radius to feet (0.0625 feet), we can calculate the area of the hose's cross-section. Multiplying the cross-sectional area by the length of the hose (100 feet) gives us the volume of water held by the hose.
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.
I assume you mean 1 and 3/4 inches in diameter. Therefore your cross-sectional area of your hose is pi/4*diameter. You can either leave your diameter in inches or convert it to feet. If you choose to leave you number in inches then you convert 100 ft to 1200 in and multiple 1200*cross-sectional area to get the cubic inches water in the hose. If you choose to convert your diameter to feet then just multiply 100 ft times cross-sectional area to get the cubic ft of water in the hose.
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.

A 100-foot section of a 5-inch fire hose holds approximately 40 gallons of water. This calculation is based on the hose's internal diameter and the length of the section. The actual volume can vary slightly depending on the hose's wall thickness and design, but 40 gallons is a common estimate used in fire service.
Depends on the hose, obviously different hoses weight different amounts.
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.
The filled weight of a 50-foot section of 12-inch diameter hose can be calculated by considering the volume of water it holds and the weight of that water. A 12-inch diameter hose has a cross-sectional area of about 1 square foot, and 50 feet of hose would have a volume of approximately 50 cubic feet. Since water weighs about 62.4 pounds per cubic foot, the filled weight of the hose would be around 3,120 pounds (50 cubic feet x 62.4 pounds/cubic foot).
A 100-foot length of 4-inch diameter fire hose filled with water weighs approximately 1,200 to 1,300 pounds. This weight includes the hose itself, which typically weighs around 30-40 pounds, and the water, which adds about 1,000 pounds since water weighs roughly 8.34 pounds per gallon and a 4-inch diameter hose can hold about 50 gallons of water. Thus, the total weight is a combination of the hose and the water it contains.

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)
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.
