Hydraulic Equations
where: Q = USGPM AOP = Area of Sprinkler operations
1500 – 3000 ft2 for light hazard
Density = USGPM/ft2 or water/square foot
Q AOP Density for first sprinkler flow

Hydraulic Example
Ordinary Hazard group 1 we get 0.15 USGPM/ft2
If each sprinkler is covering 130 ft2 we have:

Hydraulic Example
Q = Area x Density = 130 ft2 x 0.15 USGPM = 19.5 USGPM

Q2 = K P2 + Q1

preaction systems are full of compressed air until a fire is detected
then they fill with water to get ready

Sprinkler Arrangements Tree systems
Only one path to each sprinkler head
Grid systems At least two
paths to each sprinkler head

Loop systems There are two paths to
each sprinkler head but the system can also be used to circulate heating or cooling water
