Boom Flow Characteristics (Standard Flow)—Boom Flow Rate vs. Pressure 24.4 M (80 ft.) Boom

N82607-UN-12JAN09

Liquid System Performance

A - System Pressure

B - System Flow

C - Orifice Valve Closed

D - Standard 24.4 M (80 ft) - Single Flowmeter

NOTE: Boom flow rate is not recommended under 15 L/min (4 gpm) due to system limitations.

The curves show the maximum output. They are shown with agitation off. Using agitation will reduce maximum output.

The test system was equipped with both 50 and 80 mesh boom supply line strainers.

* A pressure drop occurs between the pressure sensor located on boom section shut-off valves and the nozzle tip. The larger the flow rate, the larger the pressure drop.
