Fire Water Demand

This document calculates the fire water and foam demand for a solvent storage tank. It determines the surface area of the tank and calculates the medium velocity water demand. It provides details on the water spray nozzle, including the discharge characteristics at different pressures. It also calculates the number of sprinklers required based on the theoretical water demand and sprinkler coverage area. Finally, it calculates the foam demand for the dike around the tank based on factors like the dike dimensions, application rate and duration.
