How much pressure comes out the average garden hose?

Curious, how many gallons per hour they typically flow. As compared to a lifter pump for example. I was thinking or running a tube from my lifer hose when I put it in my upstairs aquarium out to the yard, which would then be hooked up to a sprinkler. Curious as to whether the power would be sufficient to power the sprinkler. I have several lifter pumps, one is like 1,500 gallons per hour, more I think actually.

Thanks!
 
Not sure about the GPM but it would be whatever your municipal supply is that. so probably like around 60-100psi maybe more. Mine registers around 90 but some places in the city are much higher. Depends how far and low you are from the water tower, well and other factors such as how many other people using water etc.

Hose pressure will be determined primarily by source pressure.

And flow volume is determined by pressure and aperture diameter. Once upon a time I looked this up:

Q = Cf * Ao * sqrt(2*p/density)
where p = pressure, Cf is a constant ~= .7, and Ao is the area of the orifice.
