Artisi, thanks very much. Well one of the parameter or code of NPFA, if I am on the right track, in fire pump selection is the pump should produce 65% of that pressure which would than be 65% x 9 = 5.85 bar and 150% of the flow which then would be 150% x 7000 = 10500 lpm. Am I going on the right...
