Example:
1000-GPM rated pump
150% = 1500 GPM
1500 GPM/500 GPM per hose = 3 hoses
As an additional service to our customers, we created an online
interactive Pump Test Hose Calculator. It determines how many
hoses would be required based on pump rated capacity, discharge
pressure, water supply, test header elevation, hose diameter/length
and nozzle size. All these variables can be changed to instantly
see the effect on quantity of hose lines required. Check it out:
