Hydraulic Calculations for Fire Sprinkler Systems - 8hr Course - Ellensburg, WA - June 14, 2023 Course Details Instructor CEUs/Additional Info Format: Live Classroom Training Date: June 14, 2023 (8:00am-5:00pm Pacific) Location: Kittitas Valley Fire & Rescue, 400 E Mountain View Ave, Ellensburg, WA Registration: If you are a Washington State resident you may register at no charge through Washington State Fire Marshal's Office. Course Description: This course introduces the participants to hydraulic calculations including sprinkler operating pressure, elevation pressure, and friction-loss. This course will examine the density/area approach to determine design criteria including water demand for sprinklers and hose allowance. A review of the common system configurations is conducted examining the benefits of each. The requirements for performing hydraulic calculations as per NFPA 13 are discussed including the required forms, C-values, and equivalent lengths. Further, participants with review hydraulic principles for calculating specific application sprinklers using minimum K-factors and pressure, the principles for determining the hydraulically most demanding area, and changing the sprinkler area of coverage, density, and orifice size to find the most efficient system layout and configuration. The calculation concepts for using looped and gridded configurations are examined. Russ Leavitt, SET, CFPS Russ Leavitt is the Executive Chairman of Telgian Holdings.
