    NFPA 72: Audible appliance selection for public mode

    How should we select the audible appliance DB rating? I got a comment from client that product selection should not be based on Peak an-echoic DB value but based on UL 464 temporal value. I checked many products but could not come across such a thing. All datasheets of the products I checked...

    Design criteria for and extra hazard room of 96 sq.meter

    Thank you. That's good. If you are a graduate you can tell me if the online courses are good. For starters, should I consider taking the below course. Link Basic Principles Of Automatic Fire Sprinkler Protection Required Textbook: Fire Detection and Suppression Systems, 4th edition, ISBN...

    Design criteria for and extra hazard room of 96 sq.meter

    Thank you Travis for the clarification. You are right when you say its beyond my experience and expertise. I want to go beyond fire Detection which I currently do. I am trying to learn sprinkler systems by reading already designed systems, NFPA 13, and asking some designers whom I know. The...

    Design criteria for and extra hazard room of 96 sq.meter

    Thank you Travis. So, can we assume another hazard of EH1 in the same facility, Assume k=11.2. Now, demand = 2000 X .30= 600 GPM. For the sake of discussion consider actual hydraulic calculation gave 750 GPM. As explained to me earlier, the actual demand for the earlier discussed area would...

    Design criteria for and extra hazard room of 96 sq.meter

    Initially, I simply could not believe it that such a small room would require such a big cross main but I understand your explanation. Most people I spoke to just multiply the actual room area times the minimum density and had been doing the wrong designs all this time. So, in reality we don't...

    Design criteria for and extra hazard room of 96 sq.meter

    Thank you Travis. Can you please look at below. step 1: Design discharge= 1033 x 0.4= 413.2 gpm step 2: Minimum req. discharge= 2000 x 0.4= 800 gpm ( Considering k= 11.2) step 3: step 2 - step 1= 800-413= 386.8 gpm step 4: 413+386.8= 800 gpm The additional 386.8 gpm is added at the point of...

    Design criteria for and extra hazard room of 96 sq.meter

    I am new to sprinkler design. Can you guide me how to do a hydraulic calculation for an area less than the minimum required area? For example, for Extra Hazard group 2, min density and area =232m2 @ 16.3 mm/min. Consider my room is 96 m2. What will be the minimum flow for an area of 96 m2 ? The...
