__________ can be defined as a stream of water of other extinguishing agent after it leaves a nozzle until it reaches the desired point
|
Fire stream
|
Stream of water or extinguishing agent passes through space, it is influenced by ___________, ________, _______, and _______with the air.
|
Velocity, gravity, wind, and friction with the air
|
Fire service utilizes three basic types of fire streams:
|
Solid
fog
broken
|
________ stream is a fire stream produced from a fixed orifice, smoothbore nozzle
|
Solid stream
|
Solid stream nozzles: short distance from the outlet the nozzle becomes a __________whose length is from _____ to _________ times its diameter. Purpose of this is to give the water its ________ before discharge
|
Cylindrical bore
1 to 1 1/2 times
round shape
|
Solid stream nozzles should be operated at _____psi. Solid stream master stream devices should be operated at ______ psi
|
50 psi
80 psi
|
What is the formula for determining teh amount of water that is being discharged from a solid stream nozzle?
|
GPM=29.7 x d2 x /NP
(7.07)
|
Determine the water flow from a 1" tip operating at 50 psi.
|
GPM=29.7 x (12 ) x 7.07
GPM= 210
|
Stream of water with a certain velocity remains in a solid mass, not losing continuity until it _______, _____________,or _______________
|
Stikes an object
is overcome by gravity
is changed by friction with the air
|
_______-line bounding a rounded surface; the outward boundary of an object distinguished from its internal regions
|
Periphery
|
_______-turning or state of being turned; a turning from a straight line or given course; a bending; a deviation
|
Deflection
|
__________-to strike or dash about or against; clashing with a sharp collision; to come together with force
|
Impinge
|
Reach of the fog stream is directly dependent on the ___________________, _______________, ______, and the ____________________
|
Width of the stream
size of the water droplets
wind
amount of water flowing
|
______________ nozzles are designed to flow a specific amount of water at a specific nozzle discharge pressure on all stream patterns
|
Constant flow nozzles
|
Most constant flow nozzles are intended to be operated at a NP of ________ psi. Some lower pressure nozzles that operate at ___ to ___ psi for special applications such as _____________
|
100 psi
50 to 75 psi
high-rise fire fighting
