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.
It should only be used with a low pressure water supply (5 PSI or less). If you use it with a standard residential water supply you MUST USE A LOW PRESSURE REGULATOR between your water supply and this waterer. Alternatively, you may connect the waterer directly to a low pressure gravity feed system or a bucket.Maximum allowed water supply pressure is 5 PSI.f you use it with a standard residential water supply you MUST USE A LOW PRESSURE REGULATOR between your water supply and this waterer.
