Free Fire Service Calculators for Your Website
Every PumpForge calculator can run on your own website. Copy one line of HTML and it works — free for fire departments, academies, training divisions and instructors. No account, no fee, no catch.
The snippet includes a small credit line linking back to PumpForge. Please keep it — that link is the whole reason we can give these away. Beyond that, use them however is useful: a hydraulics page for your recruits, a study aid on a course page, a quick reference on a station intranet.
The eight calculators
Each one is live below. Copy its snippet, paste it into your page, and you get exactly what you see here.
Pump Discharge Pressure (PDP)
Nozzle pressure plus friction loss, elevation and appliance loss — the core pump-operator calculation.
Live preview:
Friction Loss
Friction loss for any hose diameter, length and flow, using the IFSTA/NFA coefficients.
Live preview:
Nozzle Reaction
Reaction force in pounds for smooth bore and fog nozzles — how many firefighters the line needs.
Live preview:
Smooth Bore Nozzle Flow
Flow in gpm for every standard smooth bore tip at its rated pressure.
Live preview:
Required Fire Flow
Needed fire flow by building size using the NFA and Iowa (Royer-Nelson) formulas.
Live preview:
Hydrant Flow Test
Available flow at 20 psi from static, residual and pitot readings, with the NFPA 291 class.
Live preview:
Water Supply Duration
How long a tank, tender shuttle or static source will sustain a given flow.

Want something we haven’t built?
If there is a calculation your department teaches that is not here, tell us and we will look at building it. Get in touch.
Prefer a printable version? The fireground hydraulics cheat sheet puts every formula on one page, and the guides library has the reference charts. All tools use standard IFSTA / NFA / NFPA 1002 formulas for training and estimation — always verify against your department SOPs and manufacturer ratings.
The calculators are free. The training is where it sticks.
PumpForge puts your operators on a realistic pump panel running these exact hydraulics — 15 built-in scenarios, automatic scoring, after-action reports, certifications. Every station, any computer or tablet.
