300 gpm for a LH..? K=8..?

 

This happen when technocrats and their numbers crash with the reality, the 
reality are not numbers, people should put the reality over the numbers

I just didn’t use the entire number.  It seemed obscene for what’s being 
protected.

But, technocrats are on the job, so the actual number came in at 306 gpm.

 

 

Thank you,

Sqrt(7) * 8 = 21.16 gpm / sprinkler

21.16 * 14 = 296 gpm.  

 

Your 200 gpm seems low then.????

The spec is demanding 8.0K for the LH areas.

4.2k or even 2.8k can be your friend – if applicable.

Yep, it’s actually 14 sprinklers.  Bunch of small compartments.

That sounds correct.

 

It seems strange that your calculation is over-discharging by more than 100% 
though. Minimum discharge is 90 GPM and you’re discharging over 200 GPM? Do you 
have like 13 sprinklers jammed into this area?

So, in this case I’m discharging over 200 gpm due to the number of sprinklers 
in the area.  Based on this I shouldn’t need to add any additional flow, 
correct?

That is the way I read it as well. You would have to add the additional 6 GPM.

NFPA 13, 2016 ed. States:

the required minimum design area, an additional flow shall be

added at the point of connection of the branch line to the

This is kinda gray to me.  Does it mean that if I have a light hazard area that 
is only 884 sf (offices in a shop)

and the area modifier being applied will allow for a 900 sf area, then I would 
need a minimum discharge of 90 gpm over the entire area?

Then, if my calculations bare out 92 gpm nothing else needs done, but if they 
came out to 84 gpm an additional flow of 6 gpm would need to be added?

 

Sorry about the run on sentences, just confused.
