The Hand Method Its not your standard friction loss formula, but it still gets the job done. Assign each gpm setting to a finger: 95 gpm to your thumb, 125 gpm for your index, 150 gpm for middle, 175 gpm for ring finger and 200 gpm for your pinkie. Number each finger, 1 through five, starting with your thumb.
Consider the equation: FL = c (gpm/100)2 L/100. The c term is the so-called friction loss factor and measures the pressure loss per 100 feet. This is multiplied by the square of the volume flow (gpm) and hose length (L) to get total friction loss.
2:15 3:50 Minute. Its going to be 10 squared is going to be 100 100 / 5 is going to be 20. So we have 20 psiMoreMinute. Its going to be 10 squared is going to be 100 100 / 5 is going to be 20. So we have 20 psi friction loss per 100 ft of hose in a 4in hose then a 5 in hose.
The friction loss in four-inch hose flowing 500 gpm is approximately five psi. Dividing 40 psi by five psi equals eight. This means that this hydrant will flow 500 gpm for 800 feet using four-inch supply hose.

The thumb is 1, the index finger is 1.5, the middle finger is 2, the ring finger is 3, and the pinkie is 4. To determine the friction loss per 100 feet of hose at the desired flow, select the finger with the desired flow, and multiply that number by the number at the tip of the same finger.

First were going to have 150 gallons per minute out of 100 ft. So its 3 *. 12 36 so friction loss is going to be 36 the nozzle.
