Specific weight of water lb ft3

09/11/2021 Client: muhammad11 Deadline: 2 Day

Fire Protection Hydraulics And Water Supply Analysis Problems( Highlighted Problems)

Then:

F = (1 gal) (8.3453 lb./gal) F = 8.3453 lb.

G = (8 .3453 lb.) (80 ft) G = 667.624 ft-lb.

Example 1.9 How much work is involved in elevating one liter of water to the top of a storage

tank that is 30 meters high?

Solution: Again,

G = (Fl (D)

And where: F=W F = (1 liter) (1 kg/liter) F = 1 kg

G = '•kg> (30m) = 30 m-kg

Summary of Important Concepts .".'a:sr is the most important component of good fire protection because of its effectiveness, availability, and low cost.

2. Water extinguishes fire through cooling and through excluding oxygen by volumetric expansion as the liquid changes to the gaseous state.

3. Water has a weight density of 62.4 lb./ft3 (1 kg/liter), changes to a vapor at 212° F (100° C), and freezes at 32° F (0° C). Water undergoes a volumetric expansion during vaporization and during freezing.

4. For most practical purposes, water can be considered incompressible.
