Fire Calculation

This document provides calculations to determine the necessary water discharge, pipe diameter, pressure loss, and pump head for fire sprinkler systems based on the number of sprinklers and hydrants. It first calculates the discharge for 16 sprinklers as 2727.55 LPM. It then determines the required pipe diameter as 152.197 mm to accommodate this flow. Further calculations determine the pressure loss through 600 meters of piping as 2.7623821807 bar. Finally, it calculates the total pump head required based on pressure loss, minimum sprinkler pressure and static head. Similar calculations are provided for systems with varying numbers of sprinklers and hydrants.

To find Discharge 'Q' for ORDINARY HAZARD LPM

Q= K x Sqrt of P Discharge
K= 80 K - Factor Deponds on the bulb which you are selecting
P= 0.35 Kg/CM2 Pressure
Q= 47.3286382648 LPM For one sprinkler

We have to cosider for max water demand i.e, 16/18
