Pump Discharge Pressure

PDP = nozzle pressure + friction loss + appliance loss + (0.434 psi/ft x net elevation). Use the Friction Loss tool first to total multi-segment hose loss if needed.

ℹVerify locally before acting. This tool is a planning and arithmetic aid, not a substitute for training, local SOPs, calibrated instruments, or scene assessment. Confirm critical values independently. Suite status: DRAFT - not yet department-approved for operational use.
When you'd use this: The core "what do I set the panel to" question for a pump operator - combine nozzle pressure, friction loss (from the Friction Loss tool), any appliance loss, and elevation into the discharge pressure to dial in once a line is charged.

Line Inputs

Assumed/rated nozzle pressure - confirm against the device in use.
