NFPA CWBSP Exam - Topic 4 Question 2 Discussion

Actual exam question for NFPA's CWBSP exam
Question #: 2
Topic #: 4
[All CWBSP Questions]

Using the Hazen-Williams formula, determine the friction loss in 150 ft (45.7 m) of 1 in. (25 mm) black steel schedule

40 pipe, flowing 30 gpm (115 lpm) in a wet system.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Using the Hazen-Williams formula, the friction loss in 150 feet of 1-inch black steel schedule 40 pipe flowing 30 gpm in a wet system would be approximately 27.5 psi. This calculation considers the pipe's material, size, length, and flow rate.

Wait, 57.9 psi? That seems way too high for that setup!

I remember the formula involves the diameter and length, but I’m a bit confused about how to apply it to get the right psi.

I feel like the flow rate really affects the friction loss, but I can't recall how to apply it correctly here.

I think I did a similar question where we calculated friction loss in a longer pipe. I might lean towards option B, but I need to double-check my calculations.

I've got this! The Hazen-Williams formula is second nature to me at this point. I'll work through it step-by-step and nail the right answer.

This looks straightforward enough. I just need to be careful with the unit conversions and make sure I'm using the right values in the formula.

Okay, let's see. I need to plug in the pipe length, diameter, and flow rate into the Hazen-Williams equation. Then I can calculate the friction loss and compare it to the answer choices.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about how to apply the Hazen-Williams formula correctly here. I'll need to review the formula and make sure I have the right variables.

I think I can handle this one. The Hazen-Williams formula should give me the friction loss in the pipe based on the flow rate and pipe dimensions.

Definitely D, 57.9 psi (3.99 bar). No way it's only 27.5 psi (1.89 bar) with that small of a pipe.

Hmm, C looks like the right answer to me. 52.2 psi (3.6 bar) seems about right for that pipe and flow rate.
