Hydraulic calculations of fire suppression systems according to NFPA standards.
Hydraulic calculations are an integral part of designing effective fire suppression systems that ensure reliable protection of facilities. The standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) set strict requirements for calculations aimed at optimizing system performance in emergency situations.
What’s included in the service
Water flow rate calculation
Pressure determination
Pipe selection
Pressure loss assessment
Hydraulic balancing
Key aspects of NFPA-based calculations:
Water flow rate – accurate calculation of the required water volume for fire suppression based on facility type and risk classification.
System pressure – ensuring sufficient water pressure for the effective operation of sprinklers, hydrants, and other system components.
Pipe sizing – selecting the optimal pipe diameter to minimize hydraulic losses and ensure even water distribution.
Pressure loss compensation – accounting for resistance from pipes, fittings, and shut-off valves to ensure proper system functionality.
Load balancing – distributing water flow between different components of the system to maintain operational stability.
✔ Increased reliability and performance of the fire suppression system ✔ Compliance with international safety standards ✔ Reduced risk of system failure during a fire ✔ Optimized material and operational costs
