NOTE
1) The calculations are based on the relevant sections of NFPA 13 - 2010 Standard for the installation of Sprinkler Systems & NFPA 14 - 2010 Standard for the Installation of
standpipe and hose systems.

2) The design values in the yellow fields are indicative only (i.e prepared as a sample calculation) .The actual values to be used, in particular for the project as per selected fire
hazard classification.In addition to that, the designer shall ensure the correctness of the values in the yellow fields as per the latest edition of the relevant NFPA Standards.
