Course Description: This webinar builds upon the Fire Sprinkler Design and Hydraulic Calculations Basic Formulas courses to demonstrate conducting hydraulic calculations for a simple tree system. The exercise will include the determination of the required end head pressure, calculation of friction loss using the Hazen Williams formula, inclusion of appropriate fitting equivalent lengths, and the use of equivalent K factors and balancing pressure for a combination of sprinklers and piping. The proper use of hydraulic calculation forms for conducting such calculations will be presented. Finally, a comparison of the calculated demand will be made with the available water supply to demonstrate adequacy of the design.
Learning Objectives:
•Calculate the required end head pressure for an operating sprinkler
•Calculate the friction loss using the Hazen Williams formula
•Understand the appropriate inclusion of fittings for purposes of determining pressure loss
•Calculate an equivalent K factor for a combination of operating sprinklers and connected piping and balance with calculated pressure
•Understand the use of hydraulic calculation forms
•Conduct an evaluation of the available water supply against the calculated demand
