Fire sprinklers are rated by gpm per square foot, plus the temperature at which they are triggered, plus the diameter of the spray (angle of the cone), among other things.

How many gallons of water does a sprinkler use per minute?

almost 400 GPM


What is the maximum gallons per minute (GPM) capacity of a sump pump?

The maximum gallons per minute (GPM) capacity of a sump pump typically ranges from 30 to 100 GPM, depending on the model and size of the pump.


How do you calculate gpm?

The easiest way would be to capture the sprinkler water and fill a 5gallon bucket and time your self. When the buckets full then divide the time it took by 5 and you have your GPM.


How much does it cost to run a sprinkler?

$3.15 per/hour I just did calculation based on: -- City water price of 0.015 cents per gallon of water (water & sewer) -- A GPM rating of 3.5 gallons per minute on the single sprinkler --TOTAL it costs me $3.15 per hour to run a single standard hose-type sprinkler **note: there is a large variation of in garden sprinklers. Some have GPM of 0.5 all the way up to 8. Average sprinklers run 3-4 GPM. I split the difference of the average.


What is the capacity of the fuel tank on the 350 GPM pumping assembly?

How many gpm does a commercial fire sprinkler put out?

There are many variables. The sprinkler heads come in different sizes. Rate of flow will be determined by the head-size, the frictional losses in the supply pipework, and the head of water available. In a single building example, sprinkler heads of exactly the same type, and fed by exactly the same bore pipework, on three different floors will give three different flow rates. Simple answer? "It varies"

What is the critical velocity of 2.5 inch fire hose?

300 GPM


What is the friction loss in 100feet of 5 inch fire hose?

It depends on flow. 2 PSI for 500 GPM 8 PSI for 1000 GPM 18 PSI for 1500 GPM 32 PSI for 2000 GPM This is per 100' ft If your flows are big, ie. defensive conditions, you must relay for anything over a couple hundred feet in length. Capt. Ridgeway Tumwater Fire


How do you measure gpm on a 2.5 in fire hose without a nozzle?

Sprinkler coverage area for extra hazard heads?

Extra hazard occupancies require densities of either 0.30 gpm/sq ft or 0.40 gpm/sq ft, for which the maximum head layout is 100 sq ft per NFPA 13. There are some sprinkler heads in the market that allow coverages up to 196 sq ft with a special listing. Tyco EC-25 and EC-17, and Reliable MBEC-14 are some of the heads that can be used with certain restrictions.
