Hydraulic Calculation:

1- Determine the area of sprinkler operation (ft2)

Hazard Type Minimum area of sp. Operation

ft2 m2
Light 1500 139.4
Ordinary 1500 139.4
Extra 2500 232.3

2- Select a hydraulic design density (gpm/ft2) from chart

3- Calculate minimum flow and pressure at the hydraulically most demanding sprinkler

Flow = Design Density x Area Covered by Sprinkler QK P
