To find the maximum flow you would need to know the maximum pressure. A typical fire nozzle pressure would be up to 100 psi with a diameter of 1 to 1.25 inches. The GPM would be between 300 GPM and 460 GPM through the nozzle.
If it were simply a 3-inch pipe with an oversized pump, running at 100 psi with no nozzle, you could (in theory) move over 3,000 GPM through the pipe (ignoring friction loss).
Even at 80 psi, a master stream through a 2-inch nozzle moves over 1,000 GPM.

What is an example of a maximum network flow problem and how is it solved?
An example of a maximum network flow problem is determining the maximum amount of water that can flow through a network of pipes. This problem can be solved using algorithms like Ford-Fulkerson or Edmonds-Karp, which iteratively find the maximum flow by augmenting paths in the network until no more flow can be added.
What is the maximum amount of electrical current that can flow through a single line and load on a switch?
The maximum amount of electrical current that can flow through a single line and load on a switch is determined by the ampere rating of the switch. This rating indicates the maximum safe current that can pass through the switch without causing damage. Exceeding this limit can lead to overheating and potentially cause a fire hazard.
What is a Fire Sprinkler alarm valve?
Some fire sprinkler systems have a valve for testing the water-flow alarm by allowing water to flow to the alarm, or through the alarm-sensing pipe, without activating any sprinklers in the rest of the system.
What is the optimal way to determine the maximum amount of flow that can be sent through a network, as defined by the maximal flow problem?
The optimal way to determine the maximum amount of flow that can be sent through a network, as defined by the maximal flow problem, is to use algorithms like Ford-Fulkerson or Edmonds-Karp. These algorithms find the maximum flow by iteratively augmenting the flow along the paths from the source to the sink in the network until no more flow can be sent. The final flow value obtained is the maximum flow that can be sent through the network.
What is the maximum amperage that can safely flow through 10 gauge wire?
The maximum safe amperage that can flow through 10 gauge wire is typically around 30 amperes.
What is the maximum amperage that can safely flow through a 10 gauge wire?
The maximum amperage that can safely flow through a 10 gauge wire is typically around 30 amperes.
What is the maximum amperage that can safely flow through a 14 gauge wire?
The maximum amperage that can safely flow through a 14 gauge wire is typically around 15 amps.
What is an example of a Max Flow Problem and how is it typically solved?
An example of a Max Flow Problem is determining the maximum amount of water that can flow through a network of pipes. This problem is typically solved using algorithms like Ford-Fulkerson or Edmonds-Karp, which find the maximum flow by iteratively augmenting the flow along the paths in the network.
What is the maximum flow rate that can be achieved through a 1.5 inch pipe?
The maximum flow rate through a 1.5 inch pipe is typically around 9 gallons per minute.
What style of shower head will give maximum effect with minimum water usage?
Any maximum flow shower head will give maximum effect with minimum water usage.
What is the function of a sprinkler bell valve in a fire protection system?
A sprinkler bell valve in a fire protection system controls the flow of water to sprinkler heads. It opens when the system detects a fire, allowing water to flow and extinguish the fire.
Why do firefighters need to know the rates at which water comes out of fire hydrants?
By knowing the flow rates of fire hydrants in the area, and the residual pressure, firefighters can determine the maximum fire flow available. The size of a fire determines the amount of fire flow necessary to extinguish the fire.
