What
is FIRE?
Fire is a complex set of chemical
reactions in which fuel combines
with oxygen and an ignition source
to produce heat.
Heat
The Fire Triangle: (Ignition
)
Three elements - fuel,
oxygen and heat - are
required to start a fire.
The oxidation process
will not be possible
without any one of these
Oxygen Fuel (Fire
elements.

fire as determined by generally recognized and accepted test
methods. The length of time a material can withstand being
burned which may be one hour, two hours, three hours, four hours

operates automatically when its heat-activated element is heated
to its thermal rating or above, allowing water to discharge over a
specified area.
Fire Suppression. Sharply reducing the heat release rate of a fire and
preventing its re-growth by means of direct and sufficient
application of water through the fire plume to the burning fuel
surface.
Hydraulically Designed System. A calculated sprinkler system in

Friction Loss Calculations

Hazen-Williams Pipe Friction Loss Formula
(English Units)
Pf = (4.52) (Q)^1.85
(C)^1.85 (D)^4.87
Where
Pf = frictional resistance in psi/foot of pipe
Q = the flow rate of water in GPM
C = The Hazen-Williams coefficient of friction
D = the internal diameter of pipe in inches



Sample Problem Friction Loss Calculations
Calculate the friction loss incurred for a wet pipe
sprinkler system using a galvanized pipe schedule
40 at 150 equivalent length with 4 inch diameter
with the flow of 250 gpm.
Given:
Q = 250 GPM D = 4” with internal diameter
4.026”
C = 120
L = 150 feet
(4.52) (250)^1.85
Pf =
(120)^1.85 (4.026)^4.87
Pf = 0.02 x 150
Pf = 3 PSI
SPRINKLER HEAD K-FACTOR
K= Q
(P)^0.5
Where
K = Equivalent K-factor at certain node in GPM/(psi)^0.5
Q = the flow rate of water in GPM
P = Pressure in psi
SPRINKLER HEAD K-FACTOR
Sample Problem
Calculate the flow rate of certain sprinkler head
with a K-Factor of 8.0 (English) having an input
pressure of 20 psi.
Given:
K = 8.0
P = 20 psi
Q = K x P^0.5
Q = 8 x (20)^0.5
Q = 35.8 GPM

FIRE WATER FLOW CALCULATIONS (IFC)
STEPS IN DETERMINING THE FIRE FLOW (Residential Type):
Step 1: Select a building which has the largest fire flow area
Number of Floors = 4 (Typical)
Area per Floor = 4,133 sq. meters
Example Floor Plan (Four Storey)

R-2 = Occupancy Classification
IIB = Type of Construction
FLOW REQUIREMENT
Step 1: Select a building which
has the largest fire flow area
Roof Horizontal Area

Projections = 0 sq. meter
because it is a concrete roof
with parapet
Example Roof Plan
FLOW REQUIREMENT

Step 2: Classify the Building Occupancy
Building Occupancy Classification as per IBC = R-2
Step 3: Classify the type of Construction
Type of Construction Classification as per IBC = IIB
(As per Architectural Building Code Analysis)
Step 4: Determine the total fire flow area
Therefore, the fire flow area is equal to the total floor area of
all the floors only.
Fire Flow Area = 4,133 sq. m x 4 floors
Fire Flow Area = 16,532 sq. m or 177, 949 sq. ft
FLOW REQUIREMENT

Step 5: Refer to IFC Appendix B Table B105.2 & B105.1 (2):
Building Occupancy Classification as per IBC = R-2

FLOW REQUIREMENT

FLOW REQUIREMENT

Taking notes of data obtained from Table B105.1 (2):
GPM = 8000
Duration = 4 hours
Step 6: Apply the conditions cited at Table B105.2:

The building is provided with Automatic Fire Sprinkler
System, therefore apply the 25% value from the data
obtained from Table 105.1 (2):
`
GPM = 8000 x 0.25 = 2000 GPM
Duration = 4 hours
STORAGE REQUIREMENT
FIRE WATER STORAGE CALCULATIONS (IFC)
FIRE WATER STORAGE = Flow Rate x Time Duration

Flow Rate = 2000 GPM
Time Duration = 4 hours x 60 minutes/hr = 240 Minutes
FIRE WATER STORAGE = 2000 GPM x 240 Minutes
FIRE WATER STORAGE = 480,000 Gallons

FIRE WATER STORAGE = 1,816,998 Liters
FIRE WATER STORAGE = 1,816 Cubic Meters
Note: Add any sump volume capacity as per tank data sheet
FLOW REQUIREMENT
CLARIFICATIONS / QUESTIONS:
Q: WHAT IS THE MINIMUM REQUIRED FLOW RATE???

A: For One and Two-Family Dwellings, Group R-3, R-
4 and Townhouses = 1000 GPM at 1 Hour
Duration at 20 PSI. Refer to IFC Table B105.1 (1)
A: For Other building classifications = 1500 GPM
at 20 PSI.
