TM 10-4320-303-13Figure 2-11. Pressure-Reducing Valve Assembly Location. a. Mark crest of hill on ground profile graph.b. Draw a vertical line downward from hill crest.c. Determine location of pumping station closest to hill crest (on uphill side).d. Draw a horizontal line outward from pumping station until it intersects the vertical line drawn in step b.above.e. Measure footage of horizontal line and footage of vertical line.f. Using formula provided below, determine total hoseline footage between pumping station and hillcrest:Total hoseline footage =where, a = horizontal line footageb = vertical line footageg. Using formula provided below, determine friction loss of total hoseline footage in terms of verticalfeet:Total hoseline footage x 0.024 = Vertical feet of friction loss in hoseline(0.024 = friction loss conversion factor)h. Using formula provided below, determine total feet of friction loss:Vertical feet ofFeet of elevationTotal feetfriction loss inbetween pumping=of frictionhoseline+station and hilllosscresti. Using formula provided below, convert total feet of friction loss into psi:Totalfeetoffrictionloss= friction loss in psi2.31(2.31 = psi conversion factor)2-35
