    The document provides calculations for the sizing of a sprinkler system. It calculates the required flow for an individual sprinkler based on NFPA 13 density requirements. It then sizes the piping network and calculates pressure losses through each pipe segment and fittings using the Hazen-Williams formula. Finally, it summarizes the total system requirements of 667.83 GPM and 194.7 PSI and verifies these requirements can be met by a proposed fire pump of 750 GPM at 210 PSI TDH and 150 HP.

    The key takeaways are that this document outlines the hydraulic calculation process for designing a sprinkler system according to NFPA 13 standards. It includes calculating sprinkler flows based on area, density, and pressure requirements and sizing pipes and pumps based on system demands and pressure losses through fittings.

    The sprinkler system is designed to provide 667.83 GPM at a pressure of 194.7 PSI based on the hydraulic calculation shown.

    A 150 HP fire pump is required to provide 667.83 GPM at 210 PSI total dynamic head to meet the combined inside and outside sprinkler system requirements.

    HYDRAULIC CALCULATION for Sprinkler System

    From NFPA 13 Density curve (Figure 11.2.3.1.1)


    assumption .15 gpm/sq.ft over 1500 sq.ft

    From NFPA 13: protection areas & maximum spacing


    Sprinkler protection area for Hydraulically calculated = 400 sq.ft
    Q = A * Density
    1 sprinkler flow = 400 sq.ft * 0.15 gpm/sq.ft
    Q= 60 GPM
    ACTUAL SPRINKLER PROTECTION AREA SCHEDULE 40
    Q = A * Density NPS ID
    A = 242.92sq.ft. 1 25mm 1.049
    1 sprinkler flow =242.92sq.ft * 0.15 gpm/sq.ft 1 1/4 32mm 1.38
    Q = 36.44 GPM 1 1/2 40mm 1.61
    P = (Q/K)^2 P=(14.52/8)^2 2 50mm 2.067
    P = 20.74 PSI 2 1/2 65mm 2.469

    Flow requirements to meet 7psi pressure at end sprinkler SCHEDULE 10
    NPS ID
    Q = k √p 1 1/4 32mm 1.442
    Where, 1 1/2 40mm 1.682
    Q = Flow from individual sprinkler 2 50mm 2.157
    k = Sprinkler k-factor (see NFPA-13, (2007) Table 6.2.3.1) 2 1/2 65mm 2.635
    p = Pressure from an individual sprinkler. 3 80mm 3.26
    4 100mm 4.26
    Q = 8 x √7 psi 6 150mm 6.357
    8 200mm 8.249
    Q = 21.17GPM

    Since the sprinkler requires 21.17 gpm to meet the 7 psi requirement and 20.74 gpm to meet the
    density requirement, the flow at the end sprinkler will be 20.74 GPM

    Qa = the flow added at this point


    Qt = the total flow in this pipe segment
    C-factor = Pipe roughness factor
    black steel pipe = 120
    Pf = the pressure required to push the water Through this segment of
    pipe.
