Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the efficiency of small fire hose and nozzles, a topic of particular interest to owners of large buildings in light of new building laws requiring more adequate fire protection. The author conducted extensive tests to determine the performance of 1 1/2-inch hose and nozzles of various sizes, studying the character of the streams and measuring friction losses in different types of hose. The results show that nozzles with rough interiors have higher friction losses, leading to less effective streams. The book also highlights the advantage of rubber-lined cotton hose over unlined linen hose due to its lower friction losses. Ultimately, the findings in this book provide valuable insights for selecting and using small fire hose and nozzles, offering practical guidance for enhancing fire protection measures.
