Fire Calculation1

This document provides calculations to determine the necessary components for a sprinkler system based on hazard level and number of sprinklers. It calculates discharge, pipe diameter, pressure loss, and pump head for ordinary hazard levels with between 20-100 sprinklers. The total pump head required ranges from 66.1-104.7 meters of water column depending on the specific scenario considered.
