    The document summarizes the steps to calculate the hydraulic requirements for a wet pipe sprinkler system with an ordinary hazard group 1 protection area of 130 ft2. It determines: 1) A minimum flow of 225 GPM is required to protect a design area of 1500 ft2 at a density of 0.15 GPM/ft2. 2) The design area has dimensions of 49.2 ft by 30.49 ft protected by 5 sprinklers along a branch line. 3) Each sprinkler requires a minimum flow of 14.52 GPM and the reduced design area is 862.875 ft2 protected by 9 sprinklers.

    Hydraulic Calculation:
    Step 1:
     Ordinary Hazard Group 1
     Protection Area= 130 ft 2 (12.7 m2 )
     Maximum Spacing= 15 ft ( 4.6 m)

    Step 2:
     Water Density Required

    Ordinary hazard- wet pipe system= 1500 ft 2 (139.35 m 2)


    liter
    GPM
    Minimum density= 0.15 ( min )
    ft 2 6.1 2
    m

     Determine the minimum flow that must be applied to a design area of

    ( )
    liter
    GPM min
    1500 ft 2 ( 139.35 m2) at minimum density of 0.15 2

    Computation:
    Q= A ( Density )

    (
    Q=1500 ft 2 0.15
    GPM
    ft
    2 )
    Q=225GPM

     For the length of Design Area. Where:


    Lmin =1.2 ( √ A )
    Lmin =Minimum length
    Lmin =1.2( √ 1500 ft 2 )
    Lmin =46.5 ft
    2 A=Design Area

     Numbers of sprinklers flowing along the length of the design area.


    - Sprinkler Spacing is at 3 m ( 9.84 ft ) .
    Lmin 46.5 ft
    2
    Where:
    Ns= =
    S 9.84 ft S=Sprinkler Spacing
    Sprinklers
    N s =Number of sprinklers
    N s =4.73 ≈ 5 Sprinklers
    Lactual =actual lenght
     For the actual length of design area.
    Lactual =N s ( S )
    Lactual =5 ( 9.84 ft )
    Lactual =49.2 ft

     For the width of design area.


    A 1500 ft 2
    W= =
    Lactual 49.2 ft
    W =30.49 ft

     Branch line distance is 3 m or 9.84 ft.


    2
    A=49.2 ft ×30.49=1500 ft

    Step 3:
     Solve for the minimum flow rate per head.
    Qmin =Density × AreaCovered per head
    A' =( Sprinkler spacing ×branch line distance )
    '
    A =9.84 ft × 9.84 ft Where:
    '
    A =96.83 ft '
    A = Area Covered per head
    GPM Q min =minimum flow rate per head
    Qmin =0.15 2
    ( 96.83 ft 2)
    ft
    Qmin =14.52 GPM
     How many sprinkler in design area.
    2 2
    1500 ft ÷ 96.83 ft =15.49 ≈ 16 sprinklers

     Area Adjustment
    Ceiling height < 10 ft.
    Where
    Ceiling height= x = 8.35 ft.
    QR Reduction :%= ( )
    −3 x
    2
    +55

    %= (−3 ( 8.35 ft )
    2 )+55

    %=42.475

    Applying the 42.475% reduction in area.


    100 % - 42.475% = 57.525 %
    1500 ft 2 × 0.57525=862.875 ft 2

     The new Design Area is 862.875 ft 2

    N s' =8.91≈ 9 Sprinklers

     Forming the Design Area.

    1.2 √ 862.875 ft 2
    =3.58 ≈ 4 Sprinklers
    9.84
    Note: Continue to add until sprinklers included.
