When selecting a pump for a fire fighting system, there are several factors to consider. The first is the type of pump required. There are two main types of pumps used for fire fighting, centrifugal and positive displacement. Centrifugal pumps are typically used for larger systems where high volumes of water are required. Positive displacement pumps are typically used for smaller systems where lower volumes of water are required.
The second factor to consider is the flow rate. This is the amount of water that the pump can provide per minute. The flow rate will be determined by the size of the system and the type of pump being used.
The third factor to consider is pressure. This is the amount of force that the pump can provide to the water. The pressure will be determined by the type of pump being used and the size of the system.
