1- Abbreviations:
Hs = Static Head (m)
Hr = Residual Head (m)
HL = Friction Loss Head (m)
Q = Flow rate (gpm)
C = Hazen-Williams C value
d = Diameter of pipe (inches)
P = Frictional resistance (psi /ft of pipe)

2- Parameters:
Q1 = 602 gpm
Q2 = 390 gpm
Q3 = 180 gpm
d1 = 6 inch
d2 = 4 inch
d3 = 2.5 inch
L1 = 20 m
= 65.62 ft
L2 = 20 m
= 65.62 ft
L3 = 10 m
= 32.81 ft
C = 120 (see NFPA13 - Table 22.4.4.7)
P = 4.52 * (Q)1.85/C1.85 * d4.87 (see NFPA13 - Enc# 22.4.2.1.1)
3- Static Head:
Hs = 39 m
= 127.95 ft

4- Residual Pressure:
Hr = 3.4 bar (see NFPA13 - Enc# 11.2.2.5)
= 113.76 ft

5- Friction Loss Head:

1- Friction Loss in Pipes:
P1 = 0.01450 Psi/ ft
P2 = 0.04678 Psi/ ft
P3 = 0.11039 Psi/ ft

HL1 = 0.95132 Psi

HL2 = 3.06977 Psi
HL3 = 3.62180 Psi

HLT = 7.64 Psi

= 0.5269769 bar
= 17.63 ft

2- Friction Loss in Fittings and valves:

HLF = 3.53 ft (20% of pipes)

6- Head of fire pump:

H = Hs + Hr + HLF + HLP
= 262.87 ft
= 80.12 m
= 7.86 bar
= 113.95 Psi
