When I've been assigned to teach NFPA 20 for AFSA the presentation
includes a very simple process for sizing a fire pump.

I did an article in Sprinkler Age way back in the 90s on sizing pumps.
The methodology hasn’t changed other than newer equipment like
variable speed drivers but it’s still a good starting for for the basics.

Is there an equation to specify an appropriate pressure when sizing a
fire pump? For example, when sizing gpm, I've always taken the GPM
available at 20 psi divided by 1.5 to give me the maximum GPM rating
of the pump. I'm inquiring to see if such a formula is available to
size the pressure correctly. Can anyone help?
