1.6 PHILOSOPHY
Our work to verify the pump capacity and head are sufficient to supply the site and meet the minimum requirement by NFPA or not. The calculation is three stage: o
o
To check the given capacity and head of the pump with the remotest area of the Operation Area. To check the given capacity and head of the pump with the remotest landing valve.
Sequence of hydraulic calculations: o
Sprinkler and fire hose cabinet:
Inside Hose stream allow will be 100 gpm (as per item Table 11.2.3.1.2 Hose Stream Allowance and Water Supply Duration Requirements for Hydraulically Calculated Systems page 13-123, NFPA 13, 2013 Edition). Determine the remotest operation area which located in the Roof floor (mechanical room) of work shop building. Determine the hazard of the operation area (Ordinary Hazard as per item A.5.5 page 13-266 NFPA 13-2013 Edition). Default K Factor of sprinkler will be 5.65 gpm/psi^½ (Selected for Light Hazard). Minimum Desired Density will be 0.1 gpm/ft² (as per item 11.2.3 page 13-122 NFPA 13-2013 Edition). Sprinkler system type will be wet system. Max area per sprinkler will be 130 ft² (as per Table 8.6.2.2.1(a) Protection Areas and Maximum Spacing of Standard Pendent and Upright Spray Sprinklers for Ordinary Hazard page 13-35 NFPA13, 2013Edition).

The number of calculated sprinklers will be 11 sprinklers (as per FIGURE A.23.4.4 Example of Determining the Number of Sprinklers to be calculated. page 13-395 NFPA 13, 2013 Edition) )(this number of sprinkler may be increase according to architectural drawing to cover selected area from Density/area curve)
Design area will be 1500 ft² (as per item 11.2.3 page 13-122 NFPA 13-2013 Edition, Find attached file).
Area per sprinkler will be 13.77949 ft *942.8.9 ft = 136 ft². Total Sprinkler to Calculate = 1500 / 136 = 11 sprinklers. Number of sprinklers on branch line = (1.2 √1500)/14 = 3 sprinklers. Landing Valve Calculation: Class of hose is I (as per item 7.3.2 Class I Systems page 14-18 NFPA 14, 2013 Edition). Residual Pressure for Class I will be 100 psi (6.9 par) (as per item 7.8.1 Minimum Design Pressure for Hydraulically Designed Systems page 14-19 NFPA 14, 2013 Edition). Flow will be 250 gpm (as per item 7.10.1.2 Hydraulic Calculation Requirements page 14-20 NFPA 14, 2013 Edition). Calculated K-Factor Will be as per formula (K=Q/√P) where Q is Flow of the landing valve (250 gpm) and P is the Pressure (100 PSI) So the K=250√100 = 25 (as per item 23.4.2.5 K-Factor Formula page 13-236 NFPA13, 2013 Edition).

A.5.1 Occupancy examples in the listings as shown in the various hazard classifications are intended to represent the norm for those occupancy types. Unusual or abnormal fuel loadings or combustible characteristics and susceptibility for changes in these characteristics, for a particular occupancy, are considerations that shouldbe weighed in the selection and classification. The light hazard classification is intended to encompass residential occupancies; however, this is not intended to preclude the use of listed residential sprinklers in residential occupancies or residential portions of other occupancies. A.5.2 Light hazard occupancies include occupancies having uses and conditions similar to the following:
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (12) (13) (14) (15) (16)
Animal shelters Churches Clubs Eaves and overhangs, if of combustible construction with no combustibles beneath Educational Hospitals, including animal hospitals and veterinary facilities Institutional Kennels Libraries, except large stack rooms Museums Nursing or convalescent homes Offices, including data processing Residential Restaurant seating areas Theaters and auditoriums, excluding stages and prosceniums Unused attics
Note that it is not the committee’s intent to automatically equate library bookshelves with ordinary hazard occupancies or with library stacks. Typical library bookshelves of approximately 8 ft (2.4 m) in height, containing books stored vertically on end, held in place in close association with each other, with aisles wider than 30 in. (762 mm) can be considered to be light hazard occupancies. Similarly, library stack areas, which are more akin to shelf storage or record storage, as defined in NFPA 232, should be considered to be ordinary hazard occupancies.

ANNEX A
A.5.3 For purposes of these definitions, Class I, Class II, Class III, and Class IV commodities would be considered to have moderate rates of heat release, while Group A plastics would be considered to have high rates of heat release. Stockpiles are considered to include display merchandise (mercantile) and arrangements of combustibles ancillary to operations within the occupancy as opposed to dedicated storage areas where the fire loading is generally more severe. A.5.3.1 Ordinary hazard (Group 1) occupancies include occupancies having uses and conditions similar to the following: (1) Automobile parking and showrooms (2) Bakeries (3) Beverage manufacturing (4) Canneries (5) Dairy products manufacturing and processing (6) Electronic plants (7) Glass and glass products manufacturing (8) Laundries (9) Restaurant service areas A.5.3.2 Ordinary hazard (Group 2) occupancies include occupancies having uses and conditions similar to the following: (1) Agricultural facilities (2) Barns and stables (3) Cereal mills (4) Chemical plants — ordinary (5) Confectionery products (6) Distilleries (7) Dry cleaners (8) Exterior loading docks (Note that exterior loading docks only used for loading and unloading of ordinary combustibles should be classified as OH2. For the handling of flammable and combustible liquids, hazardous materials, or where utilized for storage, exterior loading docks and all interior loading docks should be protected based upon the actual occupancy and the materials handled on the dock, as if the materials were actually stored in that configuration.) (9) Feed mills (10) Horse stables (11) Leather goods manufacturing (12) Libraries — large stack room areas (13) Machine shops (14) Metal working (15) Mercantile (16) Paper and pulp mills (17) Paper process plants (18) Piers and wharves (19) Plastics fabrication, including blow molding, extruding, and machining; excluding operations using combustible hydraulic fluids (20) Post offices (21) Printing and publishing (22) Racetrack stable/kennel areas, including those stable/ kennel areas, barns, and associated buildings at state, county, and local fairgrounds (23) Repair garages (24) Resin application area (25) Stages (26) Textile manufacturing (27) Tire manufacturing (28) Tobacco products manufacturing (29) Wood machining (30) Wood product assembly A.5.4.1 Extra hazard (Group 1) occupancies include occupancies having uses and conditions similar to the following:
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10)
Aircraft hangars (except as governed by NFPA 409) Combustible hydraulic fluid use areas Die casting Metal extruding Plywood and particleboard manufacturing Printing [using inks having flash points below 100°F (38°C)] Rubber reclaiming, compounding, drying, milling, vulcanizing Saw mills Textile picking, opening, blending, garnetting, or carding, combining of cotton, synthetics, wool shoddy, or burlap Upholstering with plastic foams
A.5.4.2 Extra hazard (Group 2) occupancies include occupancies having uses and conditions similar to the following:
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8)
Asphalt saturating Flammable liquids spraying Flow coating Manufactured home or modular building assemblies (where finished enclosure is present and has combustible interiors) Open oil quenching Plastics manufacturing Solvent cleaning Varnish and paint dipping
A.5.5 Other NFPA standards contain design criteria for fire control or fire suppression (see Section 5.5 and Chapter 2). While these can form the basis of design criteria, this standard describes the methods of design, installation, fabrication, calculation, and evaluation of water supplies that should be used for the specific design of the system. Other NFPA standards contain sprinkler system design criteria for fire control or suppression of specific hazards. This information has been either referenced or copied into Chapter 22 using NFPA’s extract policy. A.5.6 Specification of the type, amount, and arrangement of combustibles for any commodity classification is essentially an attempt to define the potential fire severity, based on its burning characteristics, so the fire can be successfully controlled by the prescribed sprinkler protection for the commodity class. In actual storage situations, however, many storage arrays do not fit precisely into one of the fundamental classifications; therefore, the user needs to make judgments after comparing each classificationto the existing storage conditions. Storage arrays consist of thousandsof products, which make it impossible to specify allthe acceptable variations for any class. As an alternative, a variety of common products are classified in this annex based on judgment, loss experience, and fire test results. Table A.5.6 provides examples of commodities not addressed by the classifications in Section 5.6. Table A.5.6.3 is an alphabetized list of commodities with corresponding classifications. Table A.5.6.3.1 through Table A.5.6.3.4 and Table A.5.6.4.1 provide examples of commodities within a specific class. A.5.6.1.1 Commodity classification is governed by the types and amounts of materials (e.g., metal, paper, wood, plastics) that are a part of a product and its primary packaging. However, in a storage or warehousing situation, classification is also affected by such factors as the primary storage or shipping container material, the amount of air space, and the location
