What is the pressure for a Booster at 60 gpm?

The appropriate pressure range for a booster at 60 gallons per minute (gpm) is crucial for ensuring effective fire suppression and optimal performance of the equipment. A pressure range of 150-180 psi is generally considered necessary for a booster to function efficiently at this flow rate. This range provides enough pressure to effectively move water through the system while overcoming friction losses in hoses and other firefighting equipment.

When operating at this specified flow rate, the pressure must be high enough to ensure that water reaches the intended target, which is particularly important during a fire incident where time and efficiency are critical. This pressure range also ensures that the booster can deliver a sufficient volume of water without risking equipment damage or inefficiencies.

In contrast, other pressure ranges would either not provide sufficient performance at 60 gpm or exceed the operating limits of typical firefighting equipment, potentially leading to complications during response operations. This balance between pressure and flow is essential for maintaining effective operations in fire scenarios.
