Example Project Fire Sprinkler Reports

This document provides a summary of a fire sprinkler system design project for a test building owned by Amalgamated, Inc. located at 1234 Main Street in Harrisburg, PA. The project involved calculating sprinkler requirements for an ordinary hazard Group 1 occupancy with a 600 square foot design area and 5.65 K-factor sprinklers. Water supply data from a fire hydrant test indicated a static pressure of 20 psi and flow of 202 gpm. The calculation used an 8-node model of the sprinkler system piping network to determine flows and pressures would meet design requirements.
