Thanks Matt. That's what I was looking for.

When I have looked at it (usually for pre-engineered metal buildings)- the
lbs/sf is just the weight of the water-filled pipe divided by the are it
'covers'. Similar to the coverage of a sprinkler head.
Each structural member then has an allowable point-load formula based on how
the connections are spaced and how much load it can handle.
Most of the PEMB designs I come across have a 5 lbs/ft "collateral load"
design. We have never had a sprinkler system exceed that.

Offices.
I'm looking for a table that an architect or engineer would use to figure roof
loading.
I don't think they're that detailed.

Hello forum -
Does anyone have tables of how much weight per square foot a typical
sprinkler system adds
to a building?
thanks, Vince
