Firefighting equipment supplier Task Force Tips (TFT) has introduced its dual SHO-FLOW app, which works either independently with established fire flow formulas, or in conjunction with TFT’s SHO-FLOW Bluetooth flow meter, determining actual flow rates for fire hose lines and nozzles, in addition to calculating true pump discharge pressures (PDP), nozzle reaction, hose friction and allowing for real time NFPA 1962 flow testing.

When used in its stand-alone water flow calculating mode, SHO-FLOW’s app allows both Android or Apple users to calculate flow rate, nozzle reaction, hose friction loss or to target fire flow rates by using the application’s built-in formulas.Source: TFT

The app enables first responders to see real time flow rate, total water delivered and device friction loss from up to a quarter mile away via the Bluetooth link.

The app also includes instant links to water flow education videos and recommendations for target fire flows when using water or foam.

The free application can be downloaded on Google Play or at the App Store. For more information, visit the TFT website.
