Sprinkler Design Guide

Sprinkler Design Guide:

The NFPA 13 is a comprehensive and detailed fire protection standard. Due to its nature, finding and following the design requirements can be complicated.

The design requirements, such as the type of applicable sprinklers, area of coverage and spacing, design area, number of design sprinklers, density, flow rate, minimum operating pressure, hose stream allowance, and duration, depend on several parameters such as the classification of occupancies and commodities, packing material, type of storage, the height of storage, ceiling, and others.

While numerous helpful hydraulic calculation software options are available for performing calculations, it’s important to note that these tools are only effective when the input data is accurate. Finding valid input for these software programs can be difficult and time-consuming.
