HYDRAULIC CALCULATION FOR Proposed CPU Central Catering

Proposed Proposed CPU Central Catering Building-- FF Pump Head Calculation

Sprinkler System - Hydraulic Data

Considered Area of Sprinkler Operation - Ground Floor -- Function Hall
Ordinary Hazard Group 1 Occupancy (taken from NFPA 13-2022 page 13-411 (A.4.3.3.1))
Actual Sprinkler Spacing = 3.0 meter ( 9.85 ft. say; 10 ft)
Min. Residual Pressure = 20 psi (taken from NFPA 13-2022, table 19.2.2.1)
Density = 0.15 gpm/ ft2 (taken from NFPA 13-2022, table 19.2.3.1)
Assume Area = 1500 ft2

Density Density & Area of Flow Requirement: 0.15 gpm/ ft2 over the remote area 1500 ft2
(from NFPA 13-2022, - Fig. 19.2.3.1.1)

End Sprinkler Flow = As x Density

= 130 ft2 x 0.15 gpm/ ft2
____
= 19.5 gpm say, 20 gpm
where:
As = Area Coverage per sprinker (taken from NFPA 13-2022, Table 10.2.4.2.1, page 13-81)
S = Distance of spinklers on branchline

Total sprinklers to calculate = Design Area = 1500 ft2 Pe = Q 2

2
Area per sprinkler 130 ft k

= 11.5 , calculate 12 sprinklers where:

k = 5.60 for upright/ pendent sprinkler
Number of Sprinklers on branchline = 1.2 A (from Manufacturer Tech Data sheet- see attachment)
S

= 1.2 1500
10
= 4.6 say 5 sprinklers per branchline

Fire Water Tank Capacity:

*** 750 GPM x 60 minutes = 45,000 Gallons (170,343 Liters or 170.343 cubic meters; say 170 cubic meters )

Fire Pump Capacity:

*** 750 GPM vs 115 psi Head ( 8 bars)
