This will depend on the standards followed, whether nfpa or bs or indian or... Generally head calculation will involve the friction loss in piping + minimum required head at the hydrant / sprnkler as suggested by standards.
Hai,
For fire fighting system consisting of stand pipe systems, NFPA-14 std is applicable. Required end pressure is almost 5-6bar. U can use darcy weisch back's eqn for calculating the pressure loss.this formula is accurate in all cases. For average sized buildings, 10-11bar pump will be sufficient..
I have parking 2 basement and 6 floor the fire tank in basement 1 and the are of each floor 6800m2 the height of each floor 3.4 I need the pump flow and head.
