NOTE: The pressure loss experienced by a liquid flowing
The pressure loss is directly proportional to the
through a hose depends on the rate of flow , the viscosity of
length of the hose, therefore the data shown can
the liquid, the hose I.D..the smoothness of the tube and the
be easily extended by use of proportions , e.g.,
hose length. This chart shows the relationship between rate
the pressure drop for 50 feet of hose length is half that
of flow,I.D., and the pressure loss
for 100 ft. NOTE:To find cubic ft/min. multiply GPM x .13380
