The bachelorâs degree in engineering is a challenging program that requires a substantial amount of coursework in mathematics and natural sciences in addition to the core and elective engineering classes.
Fire Sprinkler Head - Minimum Pressure Requirement. I am reviewing Hydraulic Calculations for a wet type fire sprinkler system to be installed in an existing building. The new sprinkler system will connect to an existing fire pump fed by a 25,000 gallon underground water storage tank (the tank is dedicated to fire protection). From the hydraulic calculations, it appears that the designer is using a minimum pressure of 14 psig at the sprinkler heads located in the Hydraulic remote zone.
If the system will be installed using. city water, follow the steps below. If the water will be drawn. from a lake or well, your Hunter dealer or the pump installer. will have the specifications for pressure and volume. 1. Water pressure (bar; kPa) To check the water pressure, attach a pressure gauge to. the outside faucet closest to the water meter. Figure 1. Make sure that no other water is flowing at the. residence. Turn on the faucet and record the number on. the first line in the right hand column below. This is the.
