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.
The Flotec Pressure Switch is designed for use with submersible well pumps or as a replacement switch. The switch features a low-pressure cut-off for safety. For use with water-supply systems. For use with submersible well pumps or as a replacement switch. Turns on at 30 psi and off at 50 psi. Adjustable up to 40/60 psi or down to 20/40 psi. Includes low-pressure safety cutoff to shut off the pump when the system pressure drops to 10 psi.
