CALCULATION OF PRESSURE @ HMD SPRINKLER SYSTEM

A. SPRINKLER SYSTEM

Hazard Classification :
From NFPA-13, sec. A-1-4.7.1, p 13-72
Storage = Light Hazard Occupancies

Minimum Area of Sprinkler Operation :

From NFPA-13, sec. 5-2.3.1.3, p 13-52
As = Minimum Area of Sprinkler Operation
As = 2800 ft2

Protection Area/Sprinkler :
From NFPA-13, Table 4-2.2, p 13-52
Ap = Protection Area/ Sprinkler
Ap = 225 ft2

No. of Sprinklers to be Hydraulically Calculated :

Ns = Min. Area of Sprinkler Operation
Protection Area/Sprinkler
Ns = 2800
225
Ns = 13 nos.

Density/Area :
From NFPA-13, Figure 5-2.3 and Ordinary Hazard Occupancy Group 2
Density = 0.074 gpm/ft2

Computing for the Volume Capacity of HMD Sprinkler (Q10) :

Q10 = Density/Area x Protection Area/Sprinkler
Q10 = 0.074 x 225
Q10 = 17 GPM

Computing for the Required Pressure @ HMD Sprinkler (P10) :

P10 = (Q10/k)2

but k = constant for specific sprinkler

k = 5.6

P10 = (17/5.6)2
P10 = 9.2 psi

Additional water flow into the sprinkler system

 1. For Fire Hose Cabinet = 100 gpm (Inside Hose)

Results Of Sprinkler Hydraulic Calculation (@ Inflow Node ) :

Required Water Flow =375 gpm

Required Water Pressure = 77 psi
Sprinkler Head Loss = 8 psi

From NFPA 14, Item 5-7

Minimum Outlet Pressure @ FHC =65 psi

Actual Required Pressure Needed At Inflow Node (Sprinkler Riser ) :

Pa = 77 - 8 + 65 =134 psi

Conclusion :
For Fire Protection With Combined Sprinklers & Hose Cabinets, Approximate
Minimum Pressure Required At Sprinkler Riser Shall Be 134 psi .
