When using stacked tips on the Blitzfire, what is the accurate statement about pressure and flow volume?

The correct understanding revolves around the relationship between pressure and flow volume when using stacked tips on a Blitzfire nozzle. Increasing flow volume is not solely dependent on increasing pressure, as flow volume is a function of both pressure and the size of the nozzle tip being used.

When using stacked tips, larger tips typically allow for greater flow volume; however, merely increasing pressure without changing the nozzle size will not necessarily increase flow. Each various nozzle tip is designed to handle a specific flow rate at a certain pressure. This means that if the nozzle tip size is not adjusted, no matter how much pressure is increased, the flow volume remains constrained by the physical dimensions of the existing tip.

Additionally, changing the tip size does affect flow; using a larger tip increases the volume of water that can flow through the nozzle, provided that the appropriate pressure is maintained. Therefore, understanding that both the size of the tip and the operating pressure are crucial in determining flow volume is essential for effective operation in firefighting scenarios.
