The assumption made, is that all the zoned areas are being occupied by the number
indicated at the table.

The blind spaces in the building are located at the Second floor highlighted with red
in figure 1. These spaces have been considered because of the size of the area that
has less space.
TEMPERATURE RATING OF SPRINKLER HEADS

Figure 2 Sprinkler Head

Venus Fire Protection
Product Number GL5661
Size: 1/2" NPT
Upright, Brass
Sprinkler K-factor: 5.6 (80.7)
Temperature Rating: 135° up to 360° (68°C)

All the sprinklers in the system are the same; therefore the sprinkler heads
have the same temperature ratings of 155°F (68°C) This has low-profile yet durable
design, utilizing a frangible 5mm glass ampule as the thermosensitive element. This actuating
assembly is hermetically sealed, containing a precise amount of fluid. When heat is absorbed,
this fluid expands, shattering the glass at the prescribed temperature and discharging the water
in an approved pattern depending upon deflector style.

HYDRAULIC CALCULATIONS
GIVEN:
Density: 0.1 gpm/ft2 or 4.07 L/min/m2
Sprinkler Coverage: 11.56 m2
Sprinkler K-factor: 80.7 (Metric)
Minimum Flow:
𝑄 = 𝐷𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 × 𝑆𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑘𝑙𝑒𝑟 𝐶𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒
𝐿
𝑄 = 4.07 /𝑚2 × 11.56 𝑚2
𝑚𝑖𝑛
𝑄 = 47.05 𝐿/𝑚𝑖𝑛

Minimum Pressure:
𝑃 = 𝑄2 ÷ 𝐾 2
𝑃 = (47.05)2 ÷ (80.7)2
𝑃 = 0.34 𝑏𝑎𝑟 = 4.9 𝑝𝑠𝑖

Since NFPA recommends that the remotest sprinkler should operate at P ≥ 7 psi.
And P calculated is 4.9 psi; therefore, the remotest sprinkler should be adjusted to 7
psi.

Use P minimum = 7 psi (0.5 bar)

Adjusted Minimum Flow:

𝑄 = 𝐾 × √𝑃
𝑄 = (80.7) × √0.5
𝑄 = 57.06 𝐿/𝑚𝑖𝑛

Hose Allowance

Since NFPA states that a total water allowance of 50gpm (190 L/min) for a
single hose connection installation shall be added to the sprinkler requirements.
Therefore:
