Fire Flow Calculation Sheet and Hydrant Curve

FIRE FLOW CALCULATION SHEET

Project No. 2778.03
Date: February 13, 2014
Project Name: Rosalie's Village
Prepared by: Bruce Crawshaw

• Type of Construction: WOOD
• Co-efficient (C) based on type of construction = 1.5
• Ground Floor Area: [blank] sq.m.
• No. of Stories = 4
• Total Floor Area: 2700 sq.m.
• Fire Flow Formula (F=220C(A)^1/2): 17147 L/min; 285 L/sec (a)

• Type of Occupancy: Apartment
• Hazard: Low [ ] X High [ ] Other [ ]
• Hazard Allowance: Add or subtract: -15 % x (a) = 42 L/sec
• Sub Total: 243 L/sec (b)

• Automatic Sprinklers: Y (yes/no)
• Sprinkler Allowance: Subtract (max 50%): 40 % x (b) = 97 L/sec (c)
• Sub Total: 146 L/sec (d)

Exposures: Distance/ Hazard (meters)

1. Front: 8 m Add 20 %
2. Left: >45 m Add 0 %
3. Rear: >45 m Add 0 %
4. Right: 6 m Add 20 %

• Exposure Allowance (max 75%): Add 40 (e) % x (b) = 97 L/sec (f)

• TOTAL FIRE FLOW REQUIRED: 243 L/sec (g)

• REQUIRED PRESSURE: 138 kPa

• AVAILABLE FIRE FLOW (@ 138 kPa): >243 L/sec (h)

Available Flows @ 138kPa
