Fire Flow / Pump Pressure Calculator 1.2.3

This application is a valuable tool that determines the required fire flow to extinguish a structure fire and calculates pump discharge pressures for different hand-lines and master streams, offering measurements in both standard and metric units.

Developed by experienced driver/operators, this app is essential for emergency response and pre-planning to assist in managing fire ground incidents effectively.

The application utilizes formulas from the National Fire Academy and Iowa State to estimate the necessary fire flow. By employing these methods, users can enhance their ability to achieve successful knockdown and suppression operations by determining the needed fire flow beforehand.

The pump discharge pressure calculator simplifies the process of estimating pump panel discharge pressure for various hose configurations. It provides measurements in Psi and kPa based on inputs such as nozzle type, hose diameter, length, appliance friction loss, and elevation, using the formula PDP = NP + FL + AFL + EL.

Disclaimer: While this app has been rigorously tested and includes referenced calculations, users are urged to exercise caution. Variations in circumstances may affect the results. Treat these calculations as an additional resource in emergency situations.
