The rated duty of the pump shall be a function of the most unfavourable area curve.
A pump is chosen which:
• provides 0,5 bar higher pressure than that required for the most unfavourable area
• has a curve which extends to the point of NPSHr = 16 m
The Max Demand Flow & Pressure of the selected pump is calculated based on the most
favourable area
It is checked if the pump can deliver the maximum operating point at all levels of water supply

Briefly, according paragraph 4.4.3.3, 4.4.4.4-5 for fully calculated pipework, the following
shall be given, with detailed calculations, either on purpose designed work-sheets or as a
computer printout:
ii. the specified design density in millimetres per viii. velocity in metres per second (m/s)
minute;
ix. static head change in metres
iii. pressures at inlet and outlet in bar
x. friction loss in bar;
iv. the nominal K-factor
xi. numbers, types and equivalent length in metres of
v. Nominal diameter in mm fittings and components

fittings which need hydraulic consideration
ii. the position of the hydraulically most vi. the hazard class

vii. the specified design density in millimetres per
ii. the four sprinklers upon which the design minute
density is based
viii. the number of sprinklers in the area of operation
iii. the height above datum (e.g. pump axis) of each
point of identified pressure value. ix. the sprinkler nominal orifice size in
millimetres(mm)
