PROJECT NO: P13216

Design Data:
Building Administration Ground Floor
Equipment Training Room No 3 & No 4
Occupancy Classification Ordinary Hazard
Density 0.15 gpm/ft2
Area of Application ft2
Coverage per Sprinkler 113 ft2
Special Sprinklers -
No of Sprinklers Calculated 9
In Rack Demand -
Hose Streams 0 gpm
Total Water Required 57 gpm
including Hose Streams

Sprinkler/Nozzle Data:
Manufacturer Tyco
Model D3 (Std Coverage Pendent)
K-Factor 5.6

DESIGN PARAMETER
1. Please refer to Appendix 1 for the symbol and abreviation used for this calculation.
2. Equivalent length is based on on Pipe Schedule 40 which has been extracted from NFPA 13 (Appendix 2).
3. For this calculation, Hazzen-William formula is used to determine the pipe loss. As for galvanised pipe,
the C factor is 120 (Refer Appendix 3)
4. NFPA-13-Par 5-2 : System Protection Area Limitations. (Ordinary hazard) The maximum floor area on any
one floor to be protected by sprinklers supplied by any one sprinkler system riser or combined system riser
is 52,000 ft2 (4831 m2)
5. NFPA-13- Table 5-6.2.2(b) : Protection Areas and Maximum Spacing (Standard Spray Upright/Standard
Spray Pendent) for Ordinary Hazard is 130 ft2 and maximum spacing is 4.6 m
6. NFPA-13-Par 5-6.3.3 : Minimum Distance from Walls. Sprinklers shall be located a minimum of 4 in.
(102 mm) from a wall.
7. NFPA-13-Par 5-6.3.4 : Minimum Distance Between Sprinklers. Sprinklers shall be spaced not less than 6 ft
(1.8 m) on center
8. NFPA-13-Par 5-5.3.2 : Maximum Distance From Walls. The distance from sprinklers to walls shall not
exceed one-half of the allowable maximum distance between sprinklers. The distance from the wall to
the sprinkler shall be measured perpendicular to the wall.

CONCLUSION
Based on calculation that has been performed, the required pressure at existing fire water header is
1.17 bar which is exceeding the minimum residual pressure of 7 barg.
(7 bar is the minimum distribution pressure for fire water system)
