Subject: RE: Supply calculation for manual-wet standpipe

That calc is showing  the standpipe valves are flowing  750 gpm @ 159 PSI (it’s 
not showing  the supply at the FDC from the pumper truck) I’m assuming he input 
the supply incorrect or he trying to use a 4’ standpipe and it must be 
traveling along way with a lot of changes in direction causing a lot of 
friction loss.

I’m also not seeing a supply on this graph……not sure how he got the program to 
work without adding a supply….its been a while since I have been on hydraCAD 
with I don’t remember  having a graph pop up without a supply.

Demand was only 750. Typically pumper truck will deliver more psi at only 750 
gpm.

look at it again

I am not used to seeing this calc program so I may be looking at this wrong but 
I don’t see a water supply on this graph.

I initially put in a supply of 150psi at 1000gpm and then modify it until I get 
a 0 PSI cushion.

When you say that  you tweak it to find the actual demand – does your software 
not tell you the psi input required to supply the hose demand you request at 
the standpipe outlets? I usually see ‘required pressure’ as an output of the 
software no matter what the input is.

Subject: Supply calculation for manual-wet standpipe

One of my free lancers sent me a supply calculation for a manual wet standpipe. 
 I have always put in a “pumper connection” supply at the FDC, did a demand 
calc and tweaked it until I ended up with a zero pound cushion to see what was 
really required.  His way looks to be good.  Have I been taking the hard way 
around to solve what PSI is required at the FDC?
Thanks,
