In a constant pressure relay, what is the pressure at which the source pumper and all relay apparatus pump water?

In a constant pressure relay, the standard operating pressure at which the source pumper and all the relay apparatus pump water is set at 175 psi. This pressure is crucial because it allows for maintaining a steady flow and efficient transfer of water without fluctuations that could lead to complications in firefighting operations. This uniform pressure ensures that each component in the relay is functioning effectively, providing consistent water supply to the firefighters engaged in combating the fire. The choice of 175 psi strikes a balance between providing sufficient pressure for effective water delivery while minimizing risks related to equipment stress or failure that could arise from operating at higher pressures.
