    This document calculates pipe losses and total dynamic head (TDH) for a fire protection system with two flow rates: 250 gpm and 100 gpm. It finds that: 1) For a flow of 250 gpm, the TDH is 74.414225 m, which rounds up to 80 m. 2) For a flow of 100 gpm, fittings and pipe losses total 10.600575 mAq. With additional pressure losses, the TDH is calculated to be 74.414225 m, which is rounded up to 80 m. 3) Based on the calculations, the minimum required capacity of the water tank for the fire protection system is 40,000 liters.

    TOTAL DYNAMIC HEAD = 100 PSI TOTAL DYNAMIC HEAD = 110 PSI

    Calculating the Capacity of the Tank:

    From NFPA 14 Section 7-3 Minimum Supply for the System shall be sufficient to provide the System demand established for at least 30 mins

    Water Tank = 250 Gpm x 30 mins.

    Water Tank = 7,500 Gpm

    Water tank = 28,390.5 Liters. Allowance : 10 %

    Say Water Tank = 40,000 Liters ( 40 cu. M)
