Thank you, so If follow OBC requirement of 65 psi, water supply need not to be more than 30 L/s and I can not follow the NFPA minimum flow rate requirement.
Thanks for replying. The building has automatic wet standpipe system. The water will be supplied from pump house. To calculate minimum pressure required at building grade level, Do I need to take 65 psi or 100 psi into consideration?
Hi All,
I am an EIT working on fire protection system. We are having class III standpipe system along with sprinkler system. I have previously done the hydraulic calculations based on NFPA 14 (residual pressure as 100 psi) as this building did not have sprinkler system before. Now the customer...
