1.6 PHILOSOPHY

Our work to verify the pump capacity and head are sufficient to supply the site and
meet the minimum requirement by NFPA or not.

The calculation is three stage:


o To check the given capacity and head of the pump with the remotest area of
the Operation Area.
o To check the given capacity and head of the pump with the remotest landing
valve.

Sequence of hydraulic calculations:


o Sprinkler and fire hose cabinet:

Inside Hose stream allow will be 100 gpm (as per item Table
11.2.3.1.2 Hose Stream Allowance and Water Supply Duration
Requirements for Hydraulically Calculated Systems page 13-123,
NFPA 13, 2013 Edition).

Determine the remotest operation area which located in the Roof floor
(mechanical room) of work shop building.

Determine the hazard of the operation area (Ordinary Hazard as per


item A.5.5 page 13-266 NFPA 13-2013 Edition).

Default K Factor of sprinkler will be 5.65 gpm/psi^ (Selected for Light


Hazard).

Minimum Desired Density will be 0.1 gpm/ft (as per item 11.2.3 page
13-122 NFPA 13-2013 Edition).

Sprinkler system type will be wet system.

Max area per sprinkler will be 130 ft (as per Table 8.6.2.2.1(a)
Protection Areas and Maximum Spacing of Standard Pendent and
Upright Spray Sprinklers for Ordinary Hazard page 13-35 NFPA13,
2013Edition).

The number of calculated sprinklers will be 11 sprinklers (as per


FIGURE A.23.4.4 Example of Determining the Number of Sprinklers
to be calculated. page 13-395 NFPA 13, 2013 Edition) )(this number
of sprinkler may be increase according to architectural drawing to
cover selected area from Density/area curve)

Design area will be 1500 ft (as per item 11.2.3 page 13-122
NFPA 13-2013 Edition, Find attached file).

Area per sprinkler will be 13.77949 ft *942.8.9 ft = 136 ft.


Total Sprinkler to Calculate = 1500 / 136 = 11 sprinklers.
Number of sprinklers on branch line = (1.2 1500)/14 = 3
sprinklers.
o Landing Valve Calculation:
Class of hose is I (as per item 7.3.2 Class I Systems page 14-18
NFPA 14, 2013 Edition).

Residual Pressure for Class I will be 100 psi (6.9 par) (as per item
7.8.1 Minimum Design Pressure for Hydraulically Designed Systems
page 14-19 NFPA 14, 2013 Edition).

Flow will be 250 gpm (as per item 7.10.1.2 Hydraulic Calculation
Requirements page 14-20 NFPA 14, 2013 Edition).

Calculated K-Factor Will be as per formula (K=Q/P) where Q is Flow


of the landing valve (250 gpm) and P is the Pressure (100 PSI)
So the K=250100 = 25 (as per item 23.4.2.5 K-Factor Formula page
13-236 NFPA13, 2013 Edition).

Type Of hydraulic calculation methods:


o Demand Mode (I need to put the minimum residual pressure at remotest
area, if Sprinkler will be 15 PSI as per Table 11.2.2.1 Water Supply
Requirements for Pipe Schedule Sprinkler Systems page 13-122 NFPA13,
2013 Edition) and minimum density as per item 11.2.3 page 13-122 NFPA
13-2013 Edition).
o Supply Mode (if we have given Flow and Pressure)

11.2.2.6.2.1 When backflow prevention valves are installed
on pipe schedule systems, the friction losses of the device shall
be accounted for when determining acceptable residual pressure at the top level of sprinklers.
11.2.2.6.2.2 The friction loss of this device [in psi (bar)] shall
be added to the elevation loss and the residual pressure at the
top row of sprinklers to determine the total pressure needed
at the water supply.
11.2.2.7 The lower flow figure of Table 11.2.2.1 shall be permitted only where the building is of noncombustible construction or
the potential areas of fire are limited by building size or compartmentation such that no open areas exceed 3000 ft2 (279 m2) for
light hazard or 4000 ft2 (372 m2) for ordinary hazard.
11.2.3 Water Demand Requirements Hydraulic Calculation
Methods.
11.2.3.1 General.

23.4 Hydraulic Calculation Procedures.

Pv =

23.4.1* General.
23.4.1.1 A calculated system for a building, or a calculated
addition to a system in an existing sprinklered building, shall
supersede the rules in this standard governing pipe schedules,
except that all systems shall continue to be limited by area.
23.4.1.2 Pipe sizes shall be no less than 1 in. (25 mm) nominal for ferrous piping and 34 in. (20 mm) nominal for copper
tubing or nonmetallic piping listed for fire sprinkler service.
23.4.1.3 The size of pipe, number of sprinklers per branch
line, and number of branch lines per cross main shall otherwise be limited only by the available water supply.
23.4.1.4 However, sprinkler spacing and all other rules covered in this and other applicable standards shall be observed.
23.4.1.5 Hydraulic calculations shall extend to the effective
point of the water supply where the characteristics of the water
supply are known.
23.4.2 Formulas.
23.4.2.1 Friction Loss Formula.
23.4.2.1.1 Pipe friction losses shall be determined on the basis of the HazenWilliams formula, as follows:

p=

4.52Q 1.85
C 1.85d 4.87

where:
p = frictional resistance (psi/ft of pipe)
Q = flow (gpm)
C = friction loss coefficient
d = actual internal diameter of pipe (in.)
23.4.2.1.2 For SI units, the following equation shall be used:

Q 1.85
pm = 6.05 1.85m 4.87 105
C dm
where:
pm = frictional resistance (bar/m of pipe)
Qm = flow (L/min)
C = friction loss coefficient
dm = actual internal diameter (mm)
Subsection 23.4.2.1.3 was revised by a
tentative interim amendment (TIA). See
page 1.

23.4.2.1.3 For antifreeze systems greater than 40 gal (151 L)


in size, the friction loss shall also be calculated using the
DarcyWeisbach formula:

P = 0.000216 f

l Q
d5

where:
P = friction loss (psi)
f = friction loss factor from Moody diagram
l = length of pipe or tube (ft)
= density of fluid (lb/ft3)
Q = flow in pipe or tube (gpm)
d = inside diameter of tube (in.)
23.4.2.2 Velocity Pressure Formula. Velocity pressure shall be
determined on the basis of the following formula:

2013 Edition

0.001123Q 2
D4

where:
Pv = velocity pressure (psi) (SI, 1 psi = 0.0689 bar)
Q = flow (gpm) (SI, 1 gal = 3.785 L)
D = inside diameter (in.) (SI, 1 in. = 25.4 mm)
23.4.2.3 Normal Pressure Formula. Normal pressure (Pn)
shall be determined on the basis of the following formula:

Pn = Pt Pv
where:
Pn = normal pressure
Pt = total pressure [psi (bar)]
Pv = velocity pressure [psi (bar)]
23.4.2.4 Hydraulic Junction Points.
23.4.2.4.1 Pressures at hydraulic junction points shall balance within 0.5 psi (0.03 bar).
23.4.2.4.2 The highest pressure at the junction point, and
the total flows as adjusted, shall be carried into the calculations.
23.4.2.4.3 Pressure balancing shall be permitted through the
use of a K-factor developed for branch lines or portions of
systems using the formula in 23.4.2.5.
23.4.2.5 K-Factor Formula. K-factors, flow from an orifice, or
pressure from an orifice shall be determined on the basis of
the following formula:

Kn =

Q
P

where:
Kn = equivalent K at a node
Q = flow at the node
P = pressure at the node
23.4.3 Equivalent Pipe Lengths of Valves and Fittings.
23.4.3.1 Pipe and Fittings.
23.4.3.1.1 Table 23.4.3.1.1 shall be used to determine the
equivalent length of pipe for fittings and devices unless manufacturers test data indicate that other factors are appropriate.
23.4.3.1.2 For saddle-type fittings having friction loss greater
than that shown in Table 23.4.3.1.1, the increased friction loss
shall be included in hydraulic calculations.
23.4.3.1.3 Equivalent Length Modifier.
23.4.3.1.3.1 For internal pipe diameters different from
Schedule 40 steel pipe [Schedule 30 for pipe diameters 8 in.
(200 mm) and larger], the equivalent length shown in Table
23.4.3.1.1 shall be multiplied by a factor derived from the following formula:

Actual inside diameter

Schedule 40 steel pipe inside diameteer

4.87

= Factor

23.4.3.1.3.2 The factor thus obtained shall be further modified as required by Table 23.4.3.1.1. This table shall apply to
other types of pipe listed in Table 23.4.3.1.1 only where modified by factors from 23.4.3.1.1 and 23.4.3.2.

A.4.4 Biocides and other chemicals that are approved and
used for the prevention and mitigation of MIC and that do not
adversely affect the fire-fighting properties of the water or the
performance of the fire sprinkler system components are not
prohibited.
A.4.6 Non-system components can adversely affect the operation and longevity of the fire sprinkler system. Objects connected
to the sprinkler system can displace sprinkler system piping, causing obstruction to the spray pattern of sprinklers, delay the activation of a sprinkler, or cause chemical compatibility problems
that can cause the failure of sprinkler system components.

2013 Edition

A.5.1 Occupancy examples in the listings as shown in the


various hazard classifications are intended to represent the
norm for those occupancy types. Unusual or abnormal fuel
loadings or combustible characteristics and susceptibility for
changes in these characteristics, for a particular occupancy,
are considerations that should be weighed in the selection and
classification.
The light hazard classification is intended to encompass
residential occupancies; however, this is not intended to preclude the use of listed residential sprinklers in residential occupancies or residential portions of other occupancies.
A.5.2 Light hazard occupancies include occupancies having
uses and conditions similar to the following:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
(6)
(7)
(8)
(9)
(10)
(11)
(12)
(13)
(14)
(15)
(16)

Animal shelters
Churches
Clubs
Eaves and overhangs, if of combustible construction with
no combustibles beneath
Educational
Hospitals, including animal hospitals and veterinary facilities
Institutional
Kennels
Libraries, except large stack rooms
Museums
Nursing or convalescent homes
Offices, including data processing
Residential
Restaurant seating areas
Theaters and auditoriums, excluding stages and prosceniums
Unused attics

Note that it is not the committees intent to automatically


equate library bookshelves with ordinary hazard occupancies or
with library stacks. Typical library bookshelves of approximately
8 ft (2.4 m) in height, containing books stored vertically on end,
held in place in close association with each other, with aisles
wider than 30 in. (762 mm) can be considered to be light hazard
occupancies. Similarly, library stack areas, which are more akin to
shelf storage or record storage, as defined in NFPA 232, should
be considered to be ordinary hazard occupancies.

ANNEX A

A.5.3 For purposes of these definitions, Class I, Class II, Class


III, and Class IV commodities would be considered to have
moderate rates of heat release, while Group A plastics would
be considered to have high rates of heat release. Stockpiles are
considered to include display merchandise (mercantile) and
arrangements of combustibles ancillary to operations within
the occupancy as opposed to dedicated storage areas where
the fire loading is generally more severe.
A.5.3.1 Ordinary hazard (Group 1) occupancies include occupancies having uses and conditions similar to the following:
(1) Automobile parking and showrooms
(2) Bakeries
(3) Beverage manufacturing
(4) Canneries
(5) Dairy products manufacturing and processing
(6) Electronic plants
(7) Glass and glass products manufacturing
(8) Laundries
(9) Restaurant service areas
A.5.3.2 Ordinary hazard (Group 2) occupancies include occupancies having uses and conditions similar to the following:
(1) Agricultural facilities
(2) Barns and stables
(3) Cereal mills
(4) Chemical plants ordinary
(5) Confectionery products
(6) Distilleries
(7) Dry cleaners
(8) Exterior loading docks (Note that exterior loading docks
only used for loading and unloading of ordinary combustibles should be classified as OH2. For the handling of
flammable and combustible liquids, hazardous materials, or where utilized for storage, exterior loading docks
and all interior loading docks should be protected based
upon the actual occupancy and the materials handled
on the dock, as if the materials were actually stored in
that configuration.)
(9) Feed mills
(10) Horse stables
(11) Leather goods manufacturing
(12) Libraries large stack room areas
(13) Machine shops
(14) Metal working

A.5.4.2 Extra hazard (Group 2) occupancies include occupancies having uses and conditions similar to the following:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
(6)
(7)
(8)

Asphalt saturating
Flammable liquids spraying

A.5.5 Other NFPA standards contain design criteria for fire


control or fire suppression (see Section 5.5 and Chapter 2). While
these can form the basis of design criteria, this standard describes the methods of design, installation, fabrication, calculation, and evaluation of water supplies that should be used for
the specific design of the system.
Other NFPA standards contain sprinkler system design criteria for fire control or suppression of specific hazards. This
information has been either referenced or copied into Chapter 22 using NFPAs extract policy.
A.5.6 Specification of the type, amount, and arrangement of
combustibles for any commodity classification is essentially an
attempt to define the potential fire severity, based on its burning
characteristics, so the fire can be successfully controlled by the
prescribed sprinkler protection for the commodity class. In actual storage situations, however, many storage arrays do not fit
precisely into one of the fundamental classifications; therefore,
the user needs to make judgments after comparing each classification to the existing storage conditions. Storage arrays consist of
thousands of products, which make it impossible to specify all the
acceptable variations for any class. As an alternative, a variety of
common products are classified in this annex based on judgment, loss experience, and fire test results.
Table A.5.6 provides examples of commodities not addressed by the classifications in Section 5.6.
Table A.5.6.3 is an alphabetized list of commodities with
corresponding classifications.
Table A.5.6.3.1 through Table A.5.6.3.4 and Table A.5.6.4.1
provide examples of commodities within a specific class.
A.5.6.1.1 Commodity classification is governed by the types
and amounts of materials (e.g., metal, paper, wood, plastics)
that are a part of a product and its primary packaging. However, in a storage or warehousing situation, classification is also
affected by such factors as the primary storage or shipping
container material, the amount of air space, and the location

7.10.1.1.5 The maximum flow rate shall be 1000 gpm


(3785 L/min) for buildings that are sprinklered throughout,
in accordance with NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of
Sprinkler Systems, and 1250 gpm (4731 L/min) for buildings
that are not sprinklered throughout, in accordance with
NFPA 13.

7.10.2 Class II Systems.

7.10.1.1.6* Where lateral piping serves a single outlet, the


minimum flow rate for the system shall be determined as if the
outlet is being served from a separate standpipe.

7.10.2.1.2 Additional flow shall not be required where more


than one hose connection is provided.

7.10.1.2* Hydraulic Calculation Requirements.


7.10.1.2.1 Hydraulic calculations and pipe sizes for each
standpipe shall be based on providing 250 gpm (946 L/min)
at the two hydraulically most remote hose connections on
the standpipe and at the topmost outlet of each of the other
standpipes at the minimum residual pressure required by
Section 7.8.
7.10.1.2.1.1* Where a standpipe system has risers that terminate at different floor levels, separate hydraulic calculations
shall be performed for the standpipes that exist on each level.
In each case, flow shall be added only for standpipes that exist
on the floor level of the calculations.
7.10.1.2.2 Where a horizontal standpipe on a Class I and
Class III system supplies three or more hose connections on any
floor, hydraulic calculations and pipe sizes for each standpipe
shall be based on providing 250 gpm (946 L/min) at the three
hydraulically most remote hose connections on the standpipe
and at the topmost outlet of each of the other standpipes at the
minimum residual pressure required by Section 7.8.
7.10.1.2.3* Common supply piping shall be calculated and
sized to provide the required flow rate for all standpipes connected to such supply piping, with the total not to exceed the
maximum flow demand in 7.10.1.1.5.
7.10.1.2.4 Flows from additional standpipes as required by
7.10.1.1 shall not be required to be balanced to the higher
pressure at the point of connection.
7.10.1.3 Combined Systems.
7.10.1.3.1 For a building protected throughout by an approved automatic sprinkler system, the system demand established by Section 7.7 and 7.10.1 also shall be permitted to serve
the sprinkler system.
7.10.1.3.1.1 In a building protected in accordance with
NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, or
NFPA 13R, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in LowRise Residential Occupancies, the water supply for the combined
