Sprinkler Hydraulic Calculation (Manual Worksheet)

This document contains a hydraulic calculation worksheet for a sprinkler system. It includes node information with flow rates, pressures, pipe sizes, and fitting details at each point in the system. The calculation shows the system can provide a flow of 197 gpm at a pressure of 41.40 psi at the end of the line. With a hose stream demand added, the total flow is 447 gpm at the same pressure. Diagrams show the layout of the sprinkler system and the area of coverage for each sprinkler type.
