Just want to know a little idea as to how many sprinkler heads can one i connect with a 4" dia line, 3" dia line, 2" dia line and so on. Would be great if someone could share it in a tabulated form, like making a table and putting different dia lines and sprinkler heads against each. I am after a small warehouse firefighting designing and intend to install a fire sprinkler system there. Thanks

Is this in the US???

Most systems are hydraulically designed
 
The following is from NFPA 13 for an extra hazard pipe schedule system. The maximum head spacing is 100 ft.².
Pipe size: number of heads
1" :1
1.25:2
1.50:5
2:8
2.50:15
3:27
3.50:40
4:55
5: 90
6:150

BUT as CD said the system should be hydraulically calculated
