Excerpt from Fire-Stream Tables: For Use of the Inspectors of the Associated Factory Mutual Insurance Companies
The following tables are based on these experiments, and I present them with entire confidence in their accuracy; but would remark that a table might be accurate for one kind of hose or nozzle and not give accu rate results for hose or nozzles of different degrees of smoothness of finish. To remove such uncertainty, so far as nozzles were concerned, I experimented, in all, on about forty different nozzles, of various sizes.
