NFPA 1962-Compliant Fire Hose Testing Service

At Friction Loss Technologies LLC, we provide comprehensive NFPA 1962–compliant testing for fire hoses, nozzles, and appliances to ensure every component of your department’s suppression system performs safely and effectively under pressure. Our state-of-the-art mobile testing trailer allows us to conduct precision testing directly at your station, minimizing downtime and keeping apparatus in service while compliance work is completed.

Each hose section is pressure-tested to NFPA 1962 standards using calibrated, high-accuracy instrumentation. Hoses are evaluated for leaks, coupling integrity, jacket damage, and service wear, with every result digitally logged and documented for your department’s records. Nozzles, valves, and appliances are inspected and flow-tested to verify operational readiness, ensuring your crews can rely on consistent water delivery and performance at the fireground.

Our testing services are fully mobile, efficient, and firefighter-operated, designed to help local departments maintain compliance without sacrificing response capability. All results are delivered in a detailed compliance report that includes test pressures, serial tracking, and any recommendations for repair or replacement.

With Friction Loss Technologies, you can trust that your equipment meets NFPA standards, your personnel are protected, and your department remains inspection-ready year-round.

NFPA 1962-Compliant Nozzle & Appliance Testing Service

Beyond hose testing, Friction Loss Technologies also provides comprehensive NFPA 1962-compliant nozzle and appliance testing, ensuring that every flow component in your system delivers reliable performance during critical operations.

Our team inspects and tests nozzles, wyes, valves, monitors, and other in-line appliances for flow consistency, pressure accuracy, and mechanical integrity. Each device is function-tested under live flow to confirm that operating pressures, patterns, and control functions meet manufacturer and NFPA standards.

All data is compiled into your department’s digital test record, ensuring that your entire water delivery system—from pump panel to nozzle tip—operates exactly as intended. This process not only ensures compliance but also prevents on-scene failures that could compromise safety or performance during emergency response.

NFPA 1932-Compliant Ladder Testing Services

Friction Loss Technologies provides NFPA 1932–compliant ground ladder testing for all aluminum and fiberglass fire department ladders, including roof, extension, attic, and combination ladders. Our certified testing procedures confirm each ladder’s structural integrity, load-bearing capacity, and operational safety per NFPA 1932 guidelines.

Each ladder is inspected for heat damage, deformation, and hardware wear before undergoing a series of physical load and deflection tests to ensure performance under operational stress. We use calibrated measurement systems to verify that each ladder meets the manufacturer’s rated capacity, ensuring safety for personnel during real-world use.

Upon completion, every ladder is individually tagged and documented in a comprehensive digital report that includes serial tracking, test results, and compliance verification—providing clear records for insurance, liability, and inspection purposes.

With Friction Loss Technologies, your department can trust that every ladder on your apparatus is safe, serviceable, and ready for the next call.
