Fire Protection Hydraulic Calculations (Wet and Dry Systems) BSSI 1001 John Willden, P.Eng.

Hydraulic Equations Q  AOP  Density  for first sprinkler flow

where:  Q = USGPM  AOP = Area of Sprinkler operations 1500 – 3000 ft2 for light hazard

 Density = USGPM/ft2 or water/square foot

for first sprinkler pressure

where:  Q = USGPM  K=sprinkler factor  p=pressure in psig

QK p

Hydraulic Equations Pf  FQ1.85

PF  Pf  L

where:  Pf = pressure drop per foot (psig/ft)  Q = USGPM pipe flow  F = friction factor from table  PF = total pressure loss

Sprinkler Arrangements  Tree systems  Only one path to each sprinkler head

 Grid systems  At least two paths to each sprinkler head

Sprinkler Arrangements  Loop systems  There are two paths to each sprinkler head but the system can also be used to circulate heating or cooling water
