CHAPTER 22
From Table 22.4.3.2, the multiplier for pipe having a C value of 100 is 0.713. The
correction to the friction loss value is as follows:
In Step 3, establish the equivalent length of a 11/4 in. pipe obtained from Table
22.4.3.1.1 for a 11/4 in. (32 mm), Schedule 40, 90 degree elbow by the factor
determined in Step 2, as follows:
In Step 4, make a final adjustment for the different C factor for a dry pipe system.
From Table 22.4.4.7, the C value for a dry system using black steel is 100. From
Table 22.4.3.2, the multiplier for pipe with a C value of 100 is 0.713. Therefore, the
equivalent length of a 11/4 in. (32 mm) 90 degree elbow used in a system
employing Schedule 10 steel pipe on a dry pipe system is as follows:
The most demanding situation may not be the most remote from the water supply
if situations closer to the water supply are more hazardous or have larger areas
protected by individual sprinklers.
- Also recognizes that the design areas are not always in the shape of a rectangle.
Therefore, the requirement that the area of operation take the form of a rectangle,
with the length of the longer side having a dimension of 1.2A,. The longer side of
the rectangle must be at least 1.2 times greater in length than its shorter side.
