For full NFPA compliance, a detailed schematic drawing from PIPENET is required, showing pipe labels as well as node and nozzle labels
Reference Node at which flowrates calculated denoted by bold and with an asterisk and are always the flow outlets
To calculate Pt (2) from Pt (1) add elevation pressure and friction loss
K-Factor is considered for the nozzles only
Notes use actual labels for their pressure values

The hydraulic analysis was performed with the following assumption:

1. The density is equal to 0.1 gpm/ft2.

The room design method approach was used in the analysis of system. For this particular design, the
design area was chosen to be the six most remote rooms in the second floor relative to the pipe riser.
The sprinklers in the hallway separating the rooms were included as part of the communicating space –
as recommended by the NFPA 13, 2013, Article 11.2.3.3.5.

For a system designed by pipe schedule method, the minimum residual pressure of the highest
sprinkler is 15 psi (see Table 11.2.2.1 of NFPA 13, 2013). Using this value, we can find the demand
which meets the 15 psi minimum requirement for each sprinkler analyzed on the second floor.

Results of the hydraulic analysis show that a flow of 270 gpm against a static pressure of 151.7 psi
provide the sufficient flow and pressure requirement.

Consequently, the hydraulic horsepower of the pump can be estimated by the following equation:

Thus,

Assuming the pump has an over-all efficiency of 80% (including the motor), the actual HP is

Therefore, the pump could be chosen as 30 hp.
