| What factors contribute to total pressure loss? | Condition of of the hose and couplings as well as any kinks in the hoseline. Primary consideration is the volume of water flowing per minute |
| How is pump discharge pressure calculated? | PDP-Pump Discharge Pressure in pounds per square inch (psi) NP-Nozzle pressure in pounds per square inch (psi) TPL-Total Pressure Loss in pounds per square inch(psi) (TPL accounts for pressure loss due to friction, elevation, and appliances) |
| generic term to any nozzle wye, Siemese, deluge monitor, or other piece of hardware in conjunction with fire hose for the purpose of delivering water | Appliance |
| actual pressure of the water as it leaves the pump and enters the hoseline | Pump Discharge Pressure |

| Fog Nozzle | 100 psi (700 kPa) |
| Solid Stream Nozzle (handline) | 50 psi (350 kPa) |
| measured in pounds per square inch or kilopascals | Pump Discharge Pressure |
| total amount of pressure being discharged by a pump | Pump Discharge Pressure |
| Low Pressure Fog Nozzle | 50 0r 75 psi (350 or 525 kPa) |
