Terminology Tooling & Equipment

Premium Plant Services

This training form will cover the tooling and equipment that is used at Premium Plant Services. With this form, we can give our current technicians and new hires an in-depth description, along with terminology behind the tooling and equipment we use. The goal behind this training form is to help each technician and new hire to further their knowledge and understanding of the tooling and equipment we use. After this training form is completed each technician and new hire should be able to identify the tooling and equipment used by Premium Plant Services. The long-term goal is that with further knowledge and understanding we can reduce the risks and hazards that are introduced by using the tooling and equipment.

Tooling & Equipment:Pumps: 10k Pumps : 1. The use of a 4215-HF-UNx-Fluid End allows a pump to be transferred into a 10k pump, (ALL PUMPS

ARE DIESEL). With this fluid end model, different stuffing boxes, valves and manifold are used that differ from the fluid ends used to transfer a pump into a 20k pump. When a #15 plunger, (1.500 inches in diameter), and a #15 packing set is used with this type of fluid end at max. of 325 HP, a working pressure of 10,000 psi can be reached. With a max. working pressure of 10,000 psi, and a max flow rate of 50.4 GPM.

2. A Bypass Valve for a 10k pump allows a portion of the pump flow to the low-pressure outlet, it is used on both diesel and electric pumps. For diesel pumps it is used to prevent the engine from bogging down when using flows at the minimum a pump can produce. The bypass valve is adjusted by hand, this allows the operator to increase or decrease pressure when needed. All 10k bypass valves are mounted to the fluid end manifold, it has an inlet connection that is a ½-inch NPT female. The low-pressure outlet connection is ½ -inch NPT female. The max. operating pressure is 15,000 psi.

3. There is a Pressure Gauge that is mounted on the top of the 10k fluid end manifold by ½-inch NPT male threads. This gauge allows the operator to see how much pressure is being built by the pump. With a four inch, high visibility face with laminated safety glass dial cover, it will allow the operator to safely reach optimal running pressures without exceeding the max. pressure of 15,000 psi. The pressure gauge has a scale that ranges from 0-30,000 psi and is accurate within +/-0.5% of full scale range with graduations of 200 psi. Along with a stainless-steel case, fittings, internals, the inside of the gauge is protected by a glycerin liquid that helps reduce vibration and pulsation.

20k Pumps :1. The use of a 4220-UNx-Fluid End allows a pump to be used transferred into a 20k pump. With this fluid

end model, different stuffing boxes, valves and manifold are used that differ from the fluid ends used to transfer a pump into a 10k pump. When a #11plunger, (1.06- inches in diameter), and a #11 packing set is used with this type of fluid end a max. of 325 HP and a max. of 514 RPM can be reached. This will give a max. flow rate of 25.1 GPM and a max. working pressure of 20,000 psi.

Premium Plant Services using flows at the minimum a pump can produce. The bypass valve is adjusted by hand, this allows the operator to increase or decrease pressure when needed. All 20k bypass valves are mounted to the fluid end manifold, it will have an inlet connection that is a 20k port female, with a low-pressure outlet connection that is a ½ -inch NPT female. The max. operating pressure will be 20,000 psi.

3. There is a pressure gauge that is mounted to the top of the 20k fluid end manifold by 9/16-inch MP male threads. This allows the operator to see how much pressure is being built by the pump. With a four inch, high visibility face with laminated safety glass dial cover, it will allow the operator to safely reach optimal running pressures without exceeding the max. operating pressure of 20,000 psi. The pressure gauge has a scale that ranges from 0-35,000 psi and is accurate within +/-0.5% of full scale range. Along with a stainless-steel case, fittings, internals, the inside of the gauge is protected by a glycerin liquid that helps reduce vibration and pulsation.

Fitting Types: Type-M fittings : 1. Type-M, (Medium), fittings are designed for fast, simple connection of hydroblasting hoses and lances. The

male conical seat is protected from damage by the hose swivel nut. Unlike medium pressure connections, the seating surfaces do not rotate against each other when connections are made. Resulting in a more reliable and longer lasting connection.

Type-MP fittings :1. Type-MP fittings, (Medium Pressure fittings), are occasionally used in applications at 15,000 psi and

below, but are more commonly used for 20,000 psi operations. They can be used to connect medium pressure tubing with a conical male seat and left handed threads to a female port using a gland nut and left-




Premium Plant Services hand threaded collar, (Gland, Collar, and Tubing). For many medium pressures male fittings, gland, collar and tubing are combined into one component that connects directly to a medium pressure female port.

NPT threaded fittings can range in sizes from 1/16-inch to 1-inch. NPT threads are tapered so that, as the thread engagement between the male and female threaded components increase. Unlike other connection types that seal using closely machined seating surfaces or soft seals, the NPT threads seal around the threads with Teflon tape or pipe joint compound that is applied to the threads to prevent water from escaping between the threads. It is important to remember that the NPT threads have a significant potential for galling where the threads seize together as they are tightened. Material, thread quality and thread profile can be many of the reasons why threads can become damaged. Always remember to check threads before connecting two fittings together, and always apply Teflon tape or pipe join compound.

Badger: 2” Badger : 1. The 2” badger is a self-rotating swivel designed for cleaning 2” to 4” piping with bends and long radius

elbows. An P4 or BSPP4 2” badger is designed for a maximum pressure of 15,000 psi. The MP9L or MP9R badger is designed for a maximum pressure of 22,000 psi.

2. The P4 and BSPP4 badgers will either have a ¼ NPT or ¼ BSPP female pipe thread inlet. If the standard ¼ NPT and BSPP hose end is being used, they will be able to pass through elbows in 3” or larger pipe. If it is being used in 2” piping you will need to use a shorter hose end, this will allow the badger to travel through elbows. The head on the 2” badger has forward jets at 15°, 30° and 45°, with two jets at 90° and two back jets at 132°. These ports can be plugged to help concentrate jetting power where desired.

3. If using the 2” badger in piping larger than two inches in diameter, you must attach a rigid stinger. The rigid stinger must be attached between the badger and the hose end. The total length of the tooling, stinger and couplers must be at least one and a half times the inside diameter of the piping. If this is not done, then the badger could turn around in the piping and come back towards the operator.

Troubleshooting :1. High-pressure seal leak : At lower pressures the high-pressure seal may leak initially, but should close as

the pressure is increased. If there is a continuous leak at operating pressures from the weep hole, this may indicate that they high-pressure seal may need to be replaced.

2. Tooling will not rotate : Check all nozzles for plugging or wear and tear, also it is important to see if the proper nozzle sizes are being used for the task at hand. If the tooling feels rough when manually rotating the head, then this could indicate that there is internal damage. It is important to keep the badger full of viscous fluid, this helps control the rotation speed. As the viscous fluid is lost or contaminated, the rotation speed of the badger will increase. This shorten the life of the high-pressure seals and bearings.

Banshee:

1. The banshee is a self-rotating swivel that is designed for tube cleaning, the diameter of the tool and inlet nut connection will determine the model and part number. This tooling can be used at operating pressures that vary from 1,000 psi to 22,000 psi, depending on the inlet connection and head jetting.

2. If a tube is too large in diameter for a banshee that is being used, then jetting pressure/flow rate will dissipate and the tube will not be cleaned correctly. When a banshee is too large for the tube being cleaned, you can run the risk of hydraulicing, this is where the banshee can be thrusted out of the tube by too much back pressure. It is always important to have correct banshee size for the tubes that are going to be cleaned.

Banshee BN-9.5 : The Banshee BN-9.5 is designed to clean tubes with the diameter of 0.47-0.64 inches/12-16 mm. A BN-9.5 banshee can be tipped with an A tip that has a pressure range of 10,000 -15,000 psi and a B tip that has a pressure range of 15,000- 22,000 psi. Both have a flow of 5-6 GPM, (Gallons Pre-Minute).




Premium Plant Services Banshee BN-13 : The Banshee BN-13 is designed to clean tubes with a diameter of 0.60-1.0 inches/15-25

mm. With the BN-13 banshee it can be used with an A tip that has a pressure range of 8,000 -15,000 psi and a C tip that has a pressure range of 12,000 -22,000 psi. Both have a flow of 7-9 GPM.

Banshee BN-18 : The Banshee BN-18 is designed to clean tubes with the diameter of 0.87-1.3 inches/22-23 mm. The BN-18 can use an A and B tip has a pressure range of 8,000-15,000 psi. It can also use a C tip and a D tip has a pressure range of 12,000-22,000 psi. Both A and C tips have a flow of 11-14 GPM. The B and D tips have a flow of 8-10 GPM.

Banshee BN-24 : The Banshee BN-24 is designed to clean tubes with a diameter of 1.1-1.8 inches/28-46 mm. BN-24 banshees can be used with an A, B, and C tip that have a pressure range of 8,000-15,000 psi. The D, E, and F tips have a pressure range of 12,000-22,000 psi. A tips have a flow of 19-24 GPM. B tips have a flow of 14-18 GPM. C and F tips both has a flow of 11-13 GPM. D tips have a flow of 17-20 GPM. E tips have a flow of 14-16 GPM.

Banshee BN-33 : The Banshee BN-33 is designed to clean tubes with the diameter of 1.5-2.4 inches/38-60 mm. A BN-33 banshee can use an, A, B, C, D and E tips that have a pressure range of 8,000-15,000 psi. The F, G, H, and I tips have a pressure range of 12,000-22,000 psi. A tips have a flow of 39-48 GPM. B tips have a flow of 32-38 GPM. C tips have a flow of 25-31 GPM. D tips have a flow of 19-24 GPM. E tips have a flow of 14-18 GPM. F tips have a flow of 21-25 GPM. G tips have a flow of 17-20 GPM. H tips have a flow of 14-16 GPM. I tips have a flow of 11-13 GPM.

Nozzle Heads :1. Polisher : With the polisher tip, there are two jet ports located on each side of the polishing tip. There is one

located at 85°, and one at 105°. The polisher tip is meant for tubes with hardly any material and need a touch up.

2. Un-plugger : The un-plugger tip will have two backward jet ports for pulling power and three forward jet ports. The two backward jets are fixed at 135° or 145°, the three forward jets are placed at 30°, 15°, and 45°. The design of the un-plugger is to cut through hard and heavy material that has built up on the inside of tubes.

3. Universal : A universal tip will have two backward jet ports meant for pulling power, two side jet ports that cleaning the sides of the tube as banshee goes through, and three forward jet ports for cutting through heavy material. The two backward jets are fixed at 145°, the two side jets are placed at 90°, and the three forward jets are set at 30°, 20°, and 60°. The universal tip is designed to have combined working aspects of the polisher and un-plugger, it can cut through material and polish the sides of the tube as it works its way through.

Troubleshooting :1. Do not use pipe wrench or pliers with teeth as this can crush and/or crack the hardened steel body, leading

to tool breakage in operation. Use WD-40 to prevent corrosion and pitting, pitting can cause premature tool failure due to cracking. Do not pull out on the head/shaft to rotate the banshee, this will cause it to lock up. If it does lock up tap the head/shaft lightly on a surface to knock it free.




Premium Plant Services 2. Check the nozzle orifice in the head for plugging, if one become plugged the swivel will not rotate. If you

cannot remove the plug the banshee should be disassembled and inspected. There are four small holes exiting the tapered portion of the shaft, check theses for debris and clean if needed. WD-40 will help banshee from locking up, use as needed.

Barracuda – UH: 1. The Barracuda-UH, (Two Hitter), is a self-swivel designed for handled shotgun water-blasting. It has

powerful rotating jets that can cover a large area for efficient cleaning, it is the jet reaction force that powers the rotation of the head. An internal speed control maintains the rotation speed of 1,000 to 2,000 RPM. The barracuda-UH has a straight flow through design with a leak free high pressure seal, this helps prevent wasted pump power.

2. This tooling can be used at operating pressures up to 40,000 psi, it has a 9/16 high pressure female inlet. There are two different heads for the barracuda, one head, (BC-351-4-18), has a low flow and operates with flow rates from 3 to 4 GPM. The other head, (BC-351-4-15), uses higher flow rates. Both heads have 7/16-20 nozzle ports for sapphire nozzle assemblies, the orifice sizes should be selected to match the flow and pressure of the pump. Two ports may be plugged if needed, but larger nozzles need to be used to compensate.

3. The barracuda-UH uses automatic transmission fluid as a lubricant for the bearing and speed control components. This can be flushed/refilled with ATF through the fill port using a syringe. This is recommended after every twenty to forty hours of operation.

Troubleshooting :1. If the water is leaking out of the slots in the body then there may be a loose inlet fitting, tighten inlet fitting.

There could be a worn out high-pressure seal, replace the high-pressure seal. If there is a worn/eroded seat, replace the seat. A damaged shaft end, face or replace shaft.

2. If the seals are wearing out quickly there may be a damaged seat or worn seal holder. Replace the seat or replace the seal holder.





3. If the barracuda is not rotating there could not be enough jet torque, check nozzles for plugging or wear. There could be internal damage, rotate head by hand and if it’s rough to turn check the spring and bearings. Repair if needed.

4. If water is inside the tooling, there could be a bad high-pressure seal leak then repair high-pressure seal. There could be a bad O-ring, the O-ring and backup ring must be replaced. Worn shaft seals, replace worn shaft seals.

Spitfire : 1. The spitfire is a self-rotating swivel designed for handheld shotgun water-blasting. There are two inlet

connection options. The P8/spitfire has a ½ female NPT inlet port and the MP9/spitfire has a 9/16 medium pressure cone and thread inlet port.

2. The P8/spitfire can be used at operating pressures up to 15,000 psi and the M9/spitfire can be used at operating pressures up to 22,000 psi. The spitfire does not use any bearing, seals, or lubricating fluid such as the barracuda does. Rotation on the spitfire is internally self-driven, and does not rely on orifice size. Nozzle inserts that are installed in the head will determine the flow rate.

Troubleshooting :1. Head will not rotate : Spray WD-40 into the tooling and rotate the head by until it turns freely. Make sure

that the jets in the head are not plugged. If the tooling does not rotate after trying this, then it may need to be disassembled and cleaned on the insides.

2. It is important to remember to use anti-seize lubricant on male thread of the inlet nut and body. Apply two to four drops around the threads before screwing it into the head.

BJV-P12 Self-Rotary Swivel (15kpsi):1. The BJV-P12 has a ¾ NPT female inlet connection. It has a maximum operating pressure of 15,000 psi,

with flow rates of 12 to 100 GPM. The speed is controlled by the viscous fluid, a thick fluid will be used for William M. Grohs

Premium Plant Services speeds of 10 to 80 RPM. A thinner fluid will be used for speeds of 50 to 200 RPM. The fluid that is in the BJV-P12 can be changed to provide for fast or slow rotation.

2. There is a stamped or engraved letter, ®, that is followed by a number such as, (R12 or R25). This can be found on the BJV-P12 nozzle. This number is the offset of the head that makes it rotate. If the flow is 25 GPM, then the head needs to have an R35 on it. If the head has an R20 or R12 on it, the tooling will not be able to rotate properly because there is not enough rotating force. If the head is an R60 the tooling will spin too fast and wear out faster.

Troubleshooting for both BJV-P12 & BJV-MP12 :1. Head will not rotate : Try rotating the head by hand to see if it feels rough or gritty to turn. If it does, then

the tooling must be disassembled and repaired. If the head starts to rotate, but as the pressure is increased and it slows or stops rotating, then the bearings have worn out. If the tooling feels okay, check to see if any of the nozzles are plugged. If any are partially plugged or fully plugged, then they must be removed and cleaned properly.

2. Head spins too fast : Check all nozzle sizes and head offset to make sure that they are all correct. If they are correct it is likely that the swivel is low on fluid, or water has mixed with the fluid. If water has mixed with the viscous fluid it must be drained and the parts will need to cleaned before refilling. Make sure that the shaft seals are good and will keep the fluid from leaking and water out.

3. Seals wear too quickly : The tooling must be disassembled and inspected, the seat should be checked to see if it was installed in the right direction. It should not have any chips or erosion marks on it. Replace if needed.

Gopher – (22kpsi) – (Go MP9) Self-Rotary Swivel:1. The gopher is a self-rotating swivel designed for tube and pipe cleaning. The gopher has an outside diameter

of 1.62 inches, the tooling can be used at maximum operating pressures from 5,000-22,000 psi with flow rates of 8-25 GPM. It has a 9/16 medium pressure cone and thread female inlet, and can be supplied with




Premium Plant Services inlet adapter fitting for ½ or 3/8 NPT female pipe threads. It is filled 10w-40 for lubrication which affects rotation speed. The 10w-40 can be changed with a heavier oil such as 80w-90 for slower rotation speed.

2. There are two standard heads for the Gopher, both will have 1/8 NPT pipe threads. The Polisher head, (GO-042), is used for removing scale build up. The polisher head will have three jet ports fixed at 80° and three at 100°. While the Un-plugger head, (GO-043), is used for plugged tubes. The un-plugger head will have three forward jet ports and 2 backward jet ports.

3. On the heads, will be a stamped number, (R14 or R17), this is the offset that will make the head rotate. If less flow is used than what is recommended the head will not rotate, if more flow is used than what is recommended then the head will spin too fast, and could damage the bearings and high-pressure seal.

Troubleshooting : 1. Head will not rotate : Try rotating the head by hand to see if it feels rough or gritty to turn. If the tooling

does feel rough, then it must be disassembled and repaired. If the tooling had just been repaired and the head starts to rotate, but slows or stops when pressure is increased, then the front bearing is installed backwards. Check for any plugged nozzles, nozzles must be removed from the head and cleaned properly if any are found to be plugged.

2. Head spins too fast : The head may spin too fast if it is low on oil or water has entered the swivel. Add a full syringe of oil and check to see if the shaft seals are still good, if good they will keep the oil from leaking. If the head is spinning extremely fast, then the high-pressure seal is worn out or the spring that controls the speed is broken or disconnected.

3. Seal Leak : The seal may leak initially up to several thousand psi, but should close once the pressure has been increased. If the seal is leaking at operating pressure, then the high-pressure seal may need to be




Premium Plant Services replaced. Once the seal and seat are replaced and the tooling is still leaking, inspect the end face for damage such as dents, nicks, or erosion.

4. Seals wear out quickly : The gopher must be disassembled and inspected, the seat should be checked for being installed in the right direction. It should not have any chips or erosion marks.

HC – Hurricane 3D:1. The Hurricane 3D head is designed for cleaning tanks, vessels, autoclaves, ducts, and reactor interiors. This

tooling can work with a maximum pressure up to 12,000 psi and with flow rates of 15 to 80 GPM. The hurricane 3D has a wide range of flow rates that are accommodated by adjusting the nozzle arms, (banjo nipples). The body of the hurricane is filled with a thick fluid that controls rotation and speeds. After ten minutes of operating time the hurricane will have made a complete cycle, depending on rotation speed. If used in large vessels, extension arms up to 36 inches long can be used to reduce the jet standoff distance.

2. The hurricanes nozzle arms, (banjo nipples), must be set to match the operating pressure and flow rate or nozzle size. This setting can also be used as a means of adjusting the rotation speed. If a faster rotation speed is needed the setting would be changed to a higher number. Make sure that the two nozzles being used are the same size and in good condition, if not, it will not rotate.

3. There are two high-pressure seals located on the hurricane. They may leak at low pressure, but should close once pressure is increased. The rotation speed is controlled by a thick viscous fluid in the main body, over time this fluid may be contaminated with water or lost by leakage through the shaft seals. Loss or contamination of fluid will result in faster rotation speeds and more difficult to control.

Troubleshooting :




Premium Plant Services 1. If the hurricane begins to rotate or rotates a few revolutions and stops, remove and clean the nozzles. Double

check that they are the same size, if there is an extra set of nozzles, replace the old ones. Use a flashlight to check the flow straighteners located inside the nozzle arms, (banjo nipples), to make sure no debris have been caught behind the flow straighteners.

2. If no rotation is occurring check all the nozzle sizes and pressure being used. If the plastic cover has been removed, check that the lips of the rubber seals around the cover are not pinched between the cover and the gears. Make sure that the cover halves are not contacting the gears.

3. Rotate the tooling by hand, if it feels rough or gritty to turn it may have bad bearings or other internal damage and needs to be repaired. If the main body has been dented or stamped it can prevent the tooling from turning. The high-pressure seals will often leak at low pressures, but once pressure increased the seals will close. If the seals leak continuously at operating pressure they will need to be replaced. Other possible locations for leaks is around the shaft O-rings that are in the angle block. If these leak the O-rings must be replaced immediately, otherwise the shafts and angle blocks will erode and need to be replaced.

Torus – 3D (TR – 130) 22kpsi:1. The torus 3D (TR-130), is designed for cleaning tanks, vessels, autoclaves, ducts and reactor interiors with

the capability of maximum pressure up to 22,000 psi and flow rates of 10 to 80 GPM. With the use of four different manifolds there are a wide range of flow rates; High Flow (R30 50-80 GPM), Medium Flow (R50 28-55 GPM), Low Flow (R90 16-30 GPM), and Extra Low Flow (R150 10-18 GPM). There is a maintenance-free magnetic brake that controls rotation speed. The rotation speed may increase at the torus warms up to operating temperatures. A complete torus cleaning cycle varies from about 4 to 30 minutes of operating time depending on rotation speed. This is determined by pressure, flow rate, nozzle diameter, manifold choice and brake setting.

2. The torus contains several high-energy, rare-earth magnets that produce a magnetic field more than 10 gauss. Anyone with a pacemaker or other electronic medical device must use extreme caution when handling, or near the torus. A minimum distance of six inches is to be maintained between the torus and any electronic medical devices. Gloves will be needed when handling the torus after operation, during operation the torus can reach temperatures up to 160 depending on operating conditions. ℉

3. The rotation speed of the torus may be adjusted using the adjustment shaft located at the opposite end from the inlet. The shaft may be set at any location between slow and fast. A phillips head screwdriver may be used to adjust the speed by inserting the tool thru access slot on the housing and into the hole in the shaft. To change from slow to fast, turn the speed adjustment shaft approximately 50° to the left. There are marks engraved on the outside of the body to show slow and fast settings.

Premium Plant Services Tips: BN-Style :1. The BN-style nozzle/tip is great for general drain and industrial cleaning, its ideal for making tight turns in

traps and elbows. The short body and round nose allows it to travel where most nozzles/tips cannot. It is heat treated with 416ss, (stainless steel), and can run at maximum pressures of 10,000 psi. The nozzle is knurled for better gripping when placing and removing.

RN-Style :1. The RN-style or radial nose style nozzle/tip is a heavyweight nozzle/tip for the use on large jetters and

jet/vac. combination equipment. It is also made from heat treated 416ss, and has a maximum working pressure of 10,000 psi. The body of the RN-style nozzle has a smooth finish and wrench flats.

J-Style :1. A J-style nozzle/tip is a longer pointed nozzle/tip that is useful in piercing blocked lines. This style is a

popular body style for industrial tube cleaning. It is heated from 416ss as well, along with a maximum working pressure of 10,000 psi.

Tube Spinner : 1. 15,000 PSI : Tube spinners that are rated for a maximum operating pressure of 15,000 psi have a self-

rotating, heat-treated stainless steel sleeve that spins on a bearing of water and features two radial jets that spin at high speeds for complete coverage. The tube spinners connections range from ½, 3/8, ¼, 1/8, and 1/16, they can vary from male to female connections. Depending on the connections the flow rate will change, for instance, a tube spinner with a 1/16 NPT female inlet connection will have a flow rate of 1 GPM and a tube spinner with a 1/16 NPT male outlet connection will have a flow rate of 2 GPM.

2. 20,000 PSI : Tube spinners that are rated for a maximum operating pressure of 20,000 psi have a self-rotating sleeve that has two radial jets that spin at high speeds for complete coverage. They will have maximum impact and eliminate the streaking results from having two larger spinning jets rather than several smaller, non-rotating jets. A thin layer of water between the nozzle body and sleeve provides a liquid bearing on which the sleeve spins. HPF or HPE tube cleaning nozzles are connected to the tube spinner nozzle to help add forward jets for unplugging tubes. There are backward jets to pull the nozzles. There are only three different types of tube spinners that are rated for 20,000 psi, ¼ JS-lance with a flow of 3.8 GPM, 3/8 JS-lance with a flow of 5.7 GPM and the 9/16 JS-lance that can have a flow of 8.5 or 14.6 GPM.

Hard Hitters:1. The hard hitter is made of a tungsten carbide material that gives it an extended life span. They are tapered so

that they are distortion-free waterjets that are concentrated for cleaning and cutting power. This allows for work to be done in less time. Hard hitters come in various sizes, the orifice size of the hard hitter is what gives it its rating and how much force it will project, such as a #15 straight hard hitter will have an orifice size of 0.093 inches, (2.36 mm). It is important that the proper hard hitter is being used for the task at hand.

Pressure Drop in Hoses & Flex Lances:1. Pressure drop in a hoses or flex lance could be cause by multiple factors, but the main reason for a drop-in

pressure in a particular hose or lance at a given flow rate is because of frictional forces. The water that is exiting a hose or lance could be at a significantly lower pressure than at entry in some cases when using smaller hoses and lances. A flow rate can be used to determine a pressure drop through a lance or hose rather by using the pump’s maximum output.

Pressure Drop & Nozzle Sizing : To determine the pressure needed for a particular cleaning operation, subtract that amount from the desired pump operating pressure. The result from this is the permissible pressure drop. If the flow rate exceeds the maximum flow of the pump use the charts to find the pressure drop at the maximum pump flow and subtract that amount from the desired pump operating pressure to get the pressure at the nozzle, or nozzles.
