you can use what ever kind of paint you want to
Just regular latex paint. Just don't paint the sprinkler heads or they will have to be replaced.
To calculate how much paint needed for pipe painting, the pipe must first be measure for area. After the area is calculated, the amount of paint needed can easily be found out by figuring out how much area each can covers.
Yes. They have a paint for exterior metal surfaces.
You can use any kind of enamel paint, but I would recommend an oil based paint, remove all oil, dirt, grease, dust and simply paint. (spray painting will give you a better finish)
A Corncob pipe.
Three to four gallons, depending on condition of the surface and how heavily the paint is applied.

Automatic Sprinkler of Connecticut LLC specializes in the simplest and most cost-effective types of automatic fire sprinkler systems, wet pipe sprinklers. Wet pipe sprinklers are the most common type of sprinkler system and are very reliable. They use water from a pressurized supply line to activate the sprinklers in case of smoke or heat detection, quickly suppressing any fires while minimizing damage.
plumbing school teaches you about pipe-laying , where when and how to lay a pipe, how to fix it. The American Fire Sprinkler Association deals with such kind of training for information you can go for Wikipedia
it depends on the size of the pipe,but usually two or more.
25-150 gallons per minute is standard depending on the type of sprinkler head. Residential sprinklers will be closer to 25. That flow is for a SINGLE sprinkler head. Typically the fire will be extinguished by just activating one sprinkler head.
It is less expensive then black steel pipe. And heat ratings allow it to be aprroved for residential application.
Some fire sprinkler systems have a valve for testing the water-flow alarm by allowing water to flow to the alarm, or through the alarm-sensing pipe, without activating any sprinklers in the rest of the system.

Fire sprinklers have two major components that operate in response to a fire: the fire sprinkler heads which are connected via a series of pipes to a fire pumps. Water pressure is kept in the head by a series of valves in the pump. and is kept in the heads by little vials of colored liquid. During a fire, the liquid inside the sprinkler heads heats up and starts to expand, eventually causing the vial to burst. Water that was kept in the pipes pours out of the sprinkler heads. The water pouring out of the sprinkler heads causes the pressure in the fire pump to drop. In response, the pump kicks on and pumps more water from the municipal water supply to keep the sprinkler flowing. NOTE: this is how "wet pipe" fire sprinklers, the most common types of fire sprinklers, work. Other sprinklers (dry pipe, deluge and pre-action) are slightly different.
The term sprinklers typically refers to devices that discharge water for irrigation or fire control applications. Irrigation sprinkler systems can be either manual or automatic. Three common types of irrigation sprinkler heads are sprays, rotors (impact or gear drive), and multi-stream rotators. Fire sprinkler systems types include wet pipe, dry pipe, deluge, pre-action, foam water, and water spray. Common types of fire sprinkler heads are bulb, upright, pendant and side wall.
