Concept explainers
A 62 m by 80 m room in a warehouse will be protected by individual fire sprinklers
spaced throughout the ceiling. Each sprinkler head covers a 4 m by 4 m area and will
discharge approximately 180 liters/minute (L/min). Sprinkler heads are located in straight
rows spaced at 4 m on center. For preliminary design, approximate the following:
a. The minimum number of sprinkler heads required
b. The minimum number of rows of sprinkler heads, if rows run transversely
(widthwise) through the building
c. The minimum number of rows of sprinkler heads, if rows run longitudinally
(lengthwise) through the building
d. The flow rate of the system, in L/min, based on the number of sprinkler heads

- While planning a future expansion, a water distribution pipe will be replaced as shown in Figure 2. The current plan is for the new configuration to have the same head-loss between points A and B once the new pipes are laid. Considering that the physical characteristics of these new pipes will be identical to the previously laid pipe (L, D, CHW), (A) what will the new operational flow be? After years of wear and tear while operating above the required flow, the pipes have prematurely degraded. The Hazen-Williams coefficients have dropped to: CHW₁= 130, CHW2= 135, CHW3= 125. You must now (B) quantify the head-loss between points A and B for an operational flow of 200 l/s.
