1.2. Fire Hazard Classification

Fire hazard classification based on SNI 03-1745-2000 (page 45,46,47), SNI 03-
3989-2000( Page 7,8, and 9), this rule is adapted from NFPA 13

Building is classified based on fire hazard classification as the following:

1. Light Hazard ( Bahaya kebakaran ringan)

Combustibility of the content and the quantity of the combustible is low, low
rates of the heat release.
2. Ordinary Hazard (Bahaya kebakaran sedang)
Group I :
Combustibility of the content is low , the quantity of the combustible is
moderate, moderate rates of the heat release. Height of storage is lower
than 2.5 meter.
Group II :
Combustibility of the content is moderate, the quantity of the combustible is
moderate, moderates rates of the heat release. Height of storage is lower
than 4 meter.
Group III :
Combustibility of the content is high , the quantity of the combustible is high,
high rates of the heat release.

3. Extra Hazard (Bahaya kebakaran berat)

Combustibility of the content is very high , the quantity of the combustible is

high, High rates of the heat release.

As a Notice :

Flammable and combustible are the contents can burn. They are classified or
grouped, as either flammable or combustible by flash point.

Flammable content will ignite (catch on fire) and burn easily at normal
working ( Class IA, IB, IC)
Combustible content have the ability burn at temperature above working
temperature (Class II, Class III)

Under the workplace hazardous materials information system (WHMIS):

1.flammable has a flashpointbelow 37.8 deg C.
2. Combustible liquid has a flash point above 37.8 deg C and below
93.3 deg C.
when vapors of a flammable or combustible are mixed with air in the proper
proportion in the presence of source ignition, rapid combustion or explosion can
occur.

Information.
2.4.1. A well wet-pipe sprinkler classified by operation types :

1. Fusible link

A sprinkler head has a two-part metal element that is fused by a heat-

sensitive alloy. The link holds the pip cap, or plug, in place. Once the
ambient temperature around the sprinkler head reaches a specified
temperature, the alloy releases and the metal elements separate, which
causes the pip cap to fall away. Water is then released. Note that water is
only released by sprinkler heads where the ambient temperature reaches
a specified level - therefore, water is only released in the area of a fire,
which helps limit water damage.

2. Glass Bulb.

A sprinkler head has a small glass reservoir that holds a heat-sensitive

liquid. This glass bulb holds the pip cap in place. When the ambient
temperature of the liquid reaches a certain level, the liquid expands
causing the glass bulb to break, which allows the pip cap to fall away
releasing water. As with the fusible link heads, water is only released
where the ambient temperature reaches a certain level, which helps limit
water damage.

fusible element type bulb type

2.4.2. A well wet-pipe sprinkler classified by distribution types

1.Pendant

2. Upright

3. Side wall
2.4.2.1. Pendent Type

Pendent sprinkler heads hang down

from the ceiling and spray water in a
circle pattern.

Concealed pendent sprinkler

heads are recessed in a ceiling and
are covered with a decorative cap. The
cap will fall away about 20°F prior to
activation of the sprinkler. Once the
sprinkler reaches its rated activation
temperature, the head will drop below
the ceiling. The water pattern of
concealed sprinkler heads is a circle.
2.4.2.2. Upright Sprinkler

Upright sprinkler heads project up

into a space. They are generally used
in mechanical rooms or other
inaccessible areas to provide better
coverage between obstructions. They
also provide a circle spray pattern

2.4.2.3. Side Wall.

Side wall sprinkler heads stand out

from a wall. They provide a half-circle
spray pattern. A second deflector also
sprays water back toward the wall so
that the wall is protected. These are
used when sprinklers cannot be located
in the ceil
 2.4.3. A wet Sprinkler Classified by response temperatures.

Response Temperatures
Since ambient air temperatures can vary widely depending on the use of a space or
surrounding environment, sprinklers come rated for different activation temperatures.
The table below is based on NFPA 13 table 3-2.5.1 however, manufacturers may
have sprinklers with different temperature ratings.

4.2. Water Demand Calculation for Fire Fighting System

4.2.1 Water Demand Calculation for Fire Fighting base on Standard

National Indonesia.

o Un – Sprinkler Area

Water demand for fire fighting base on Total combine hose water flow
base on fire hazard classification :

Example 4.2.1.1. :

usually for factory is classified as ordinary and extra hazard as much as

1,892 lpm. ( see table 4.2.1.1. Hose connection Flow water demand).

o Sprinkler Area

Water demand for Sprinkler system density mm/minute x Coverage area.

1. Light Hazard = 2.25 mm/mnt x 84 m2 = 189 lpm.

2. Ordinary Hazard

Group 1 : 5 mm/mnt x 72 m2 = 360 lpm.

Group 2 : 5 mm/mnt x 144 m2 = 720 lpm.

Group 3 : 5 mm/mnt x 216 m2 = 1,080 lpm.

3. Extra Hazard

Group 1 : 12.5 mm/mnt x 260 m2 = 3,250 lpm.( Max)

Group 2 : 30 mm/mnt x 300 m2 = 9,000 lpm ( Max)

See table 4.2.1.2. Sprinkler water demand calculation.

Example 4.2.1.2. :

Factory area ( hose connection/Hydrant) and warehouse ( Sprinkler).Fire

Hazard Classification is ordinary hazard group 2.

(1) Water Demand for hose ( Hydrant ) = 1,892 lpm (500 gpm)

(2) Water Demand For Sprinkler = 720 lpm. (190 GPM)

Total Water Deman (1) + (2) = 2,582 lpm. (690 GPM)

Fire Pump Selection : 2,893 lpm ( 750 GPM) comply with nominal Fire

Selection and Distribution of Fire Extinguishers

5.1. Selecting Extinguishers

• The size and type of portable fire extinguisher is based on the total amount of
Class A combustible materials, the total amount of Class B flammables, or, for
some occupancies, a combination of both.

• For many areas, the extinguishing agent also must be compatible with
energized electrical equipment.

5.2. Classification of Hazards

Light (Low) Hazard:

• Are locations in which the total amount of Class A combustible materials,

including furnishings, decorations, and contents, is minor.

• These occupancies may include buildings or rooms occupied as offices,

classrooms, assembly halls.

• Small amount of Class B flammables used in duplicating machines, art

departments, and the like are included.

Ordinary (Moderate) Hazard

• Are locations in which the total amount of Class A and Class B are present
in greater amounts than may be expected in light hazard occupancies.

• Dining areas, mercantile shops and their allied storage, light

manufacturing facilities, auto show rooms, parking garages, and
warehouses containing Class I or Class II commodities.
Extra (High) Hazards

• Are locations in which the total amount of Class A and Class B present in
storage, in production, or as finished products is over that expected in
ordinary hazard occupancies.

• Woodworking shops, vehicle repair areas, aircraft and boat servicing facilities,
cooking areas, painting, dipping and coating areas, also included is
warehousing or in-process storage of commodities other than Class I and II
commodities.

5.3. Distributing Extinguishers

• Extinguishers should be placed in locations provide easy access and are

readily free from temporary blockage.

• Near normal paths of travel, near exits and entrances.

• Mounted on walls, the operating instructions must face outwards, and can be
removed easily.

• Ext. with gross weight of no more than 40 pounds (18 kgs) should be installed
so that the top of the extinguisher is not more than 5 feet above the floor.

• Ext. more than 40 pounds (except wheeled types) should be installed so that
the top of the extinguisher is not more than 3.5 feet from the floor.

• In no case should the clearance between the bottom of the extinguisher and
the floor be less than 4 inches

40 A 75 11250 11250 11250

Example: Maximum Cover

Area = 450X150 = 67500 Ft²

• From the table:

• 67500 / 11250 = 6 fire ext.

• 6 x 4A light hazard

• 6 x 10A ordinary hazard

• 6 x 20A extra hazard

• The travel distance rule (75ft) has been violated.

Area 67500 Ft²

• 67500 / 6000 = 12 fire extinguishers

• 12 x 2A light hazard

• 12 x 4A ordinary hazard

• 12 x 6A extra hazard

• In this case both distribution and travel distance rules are fulfilled.
CEN System
Application of the Rated Extinguisher

• To determine the number of extinguishers required multiply the floor area of a

building in square meters by a factor of 0.065.
• The resulting number is the Class A cover requirement and should be divided
by achieved Class A fire extinguishing rating of the extinguisher

Example

• A room has an area of 1000 square meters, so 1000 x 0.065 = 65

• If you assume that 9 litre water extinguishers with a fire rating of 13A will be
used.
• By dividing 65 by 13 you will get the number of extinguishers required.
• 65/13 = 5 ext.

Application of the Rated Ext.

• The type of risk should be determined and the following rules should be
followed:

1. Each room or enclosure should be considered separately.

2. Risks more than 20 m apart should be considered separately.
3. Where containers are stacked less than 2 m apart they should be considered
undivided group.
4. A divided group comprises 2 or more containers more than 2 m but less than
20 m apart.

1. For single open topped containers see table 1, serial 1, the rating must be
reached by each extinguisher provided.

Example 1

• Take a single dip-tank with an area of 2 square meters. The recommended

rating of extinguisher is given by:
• Column2: 50x2.0 = 100 i.e. 113B (foam only)
• Column3: 80x2.0 = 160 i.e. 183 (any other type)
• The minimum aggregate rating is recommended as:
• Column4: 150 x 2.0 = 300B (The minimum aggregate rating of 300B is not
met by a single ext., therefore: 300 / 183 = 2 183B

Example 2

• Take a bund measuring 2.47 square meters (1.3 x 1.9 m).

• What is the minimum rating extinguisher recommended.

Distribution for CLASS C

• Installed where there is live electrical equipment.

• Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, and Halons

Distribution for Class D

• The amount of agent needed normally is figured according to the surface area
of the metal plus the shape and form of the metal which can contribute to the
severity of the fire.
• Travel distance 75 ft.
