Learn about this Fire Protection Research Foundation study that develops baseline friction loss coefficients for the types of fire hose commonly used by today's fire service, and identifies additional performance characteristics that should be considered for friction loss calculations. The project directly addresses a topic specifically covered by NFPA 1961: Standard on Fire Hose (2007 edition) and NFPA 1002: Standard for Fire Apparatus Driver/Operator Professional Qualifications (2009 edition).
