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.
What is normal water pressure for house Could someone please let me know what the normal water pressure should be for my house? We have city water. I have installed an open system radiant heat system that is heated by my hot water heater. In the system there is a pressure guage that is showing 100psi give or take a few pounds. There is an expansion tank in the system and this pressure reading is constant regardless of whether the system is hot or cold. Running hot water elsewhere in the house causes a drop in water pressure of 2-3 psi.
