Phase 5 · Tool 38 of 77
Slope Rise and Hose Lay
Vertical gain = path length x sin(slope angle); converts that gain to a pressure effect using the standard 0.434 psi/ft elevation constant.
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: Laying hose up or down a hillside on a wildland incident - convert a measured slope angle and lay distance into the elevation pressure effect before setting pump discharge pressure.
