Fire hose reels are much stronger than typical home-based hose reels people use to water their gardens and lawns. Typical heavy duty fire hose reels weigh anywhere from 25 to 35 pounds. In kilograms, the weight of typical reels are 11-15 kg.
Assuming the hose has an inner diameter of 1 inch, 100 feet of 3" hose filled with water would weigh approximately 6,242 pounds.
I have a number 4 model. the above ground portion weighs 200 lbs + or - a lb or 2
The weight of rubber hose varies depending on the density of the rubber material. On average, a 4-inch rubber hose weighs about 0.15-0.2 pounds per foot. So, 100 feet of 4-inch rubber hose would weigh approximately 15-20 pounds.
One unit of FAID6000, which is a fire alarm initiating device, typically weighs around 1-2 pounds depending on the specific manufacturer and design.
U.S. nickels weigh 5 grams each.
100 pounds with couplings, 68 without.
A 50-foot section of 3-inch diameter fire hose typically weighs between 25 to 30 pounds, depending on the specific materials and construction of the hose. The weight can vary slightly based on factors such as the hose's lining and reinforcement. Fire hoses are designed to be durable yet manageable for firefighters, balancing weight with performance.
That section of hose holds 25.5 gallons of water when it's full, which weighs about 213 pounds. To that, add the weight of the empty hose, which I don't know.
It is an accepted fire service understanding that 5" Large Diameter Hose (LDH) will hold 1 gallon/ft. On average a 100' section of 5" empty weighs 110 lbs. With water weighing 8.33 lbs/gal. a 100' section of LDH filled with water will weigh approximately 944 lbs.
If it's full of water, then the water in it weighs about 106.5 pounds. I have no way of knowing what the empty hose weighs by itself. Whatever it is, you'll need to add that to 106.5 pounds.
Assuming the hose has an inner diameter of 1 inch, 100 feet of 3" hose filled with water would weigh approximately 6,242 pounds.
That depends on the size and materials of the fire truck. Some firetrucks hold as much as 3000 gallons of water and can weigh 50,000 pounds or more.
The elongation of a fire hose typically ranges from 5% to 10% when under pressure. This stretching is due to the materials used in the hose construction, such as rubber and synthetic fibers, which can expand when filled with water. However, the specific amount of elongation can vary based on the hose's diameter, length, and the pressure applied. Regular inspections and maintenance are essential to ensure hoses remain within safe operating parameters.

A garden hose typically has a water pressure of around 40-60 pounds per square inch (psi).
Boilers typically weigh between 1,000 to 5,000 pounds, depending on their size and capacity.
Impalas typically weigh around 65 to 110 lbs.
