Depends on the available pressure If you have 60 PSI coming into a structure then you will get 60 PSI out of the sprinkler Just look at the "K" factoring for friction losses

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"


How many fire sprinkler heads are needed for a fire department connection to be installed?

In the past the FDC was optional. NFPA 13: Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems now requires the connection except for systems of 20 sprinkler heads or less, or when permission has been obtained from the authority having jurisdiction. Sources- Brannigan & Corbett- Building Construction for the Fire Service (4th Ed) 2008. The above is a direct quote on page 288 if you so need it for a paper. So when you have more than 20 sprinkler heads, or when you have obtained permission. Doug E.

Does a fire alarm set off the sprinkler system?

Most standard fire sprinklers are activated by heat. There's a small bulb of liquid that keeps the water back in the pipes before a fire begins. When a fire breaks out, that liquid will heat up and eventually cause the bulb to burst, releasing the water from behind it.

How does heat move from a fire to a fire sprinkler?

Standard wet-pipe fire extinguishers (the kind that you'll find in most buildings) have 2 components: the fire pump and the pipe system. Within the pipes there is pressurized water, held in place by the sprinkler heads. This water is supplied to the pipes by the fire pump.If you look carefully at a fire sprinkler head, you'll notice what appear to be glass bulbs filled with a colored liquid. The liquid in these bulbs is extremely heat sensitive, and the heat from a fire in the building will cause it to expand and burst the bulb. This releases the pressurized water from the pipes into the room with the fire. Another type of sprinkler valve uses a "fusible link" that is calibrated to melt and open the valve when it is hot enough.The release of water by the sprinkler head causes a drop of water pressure in the fire sprinkler system, which sends a signal to the fire pump that it needs to kick on and supply more water pressure to the sprinklers so they can continue to put out the fire. Once the fire is extinguished, the only way to turn the sprinklers off is to shut them off at the pump. This is usually only done with permission of the fire department.Some fire sprinklers work by turning on the whole system at the signal of smoke or fire and dousing the entire area with water.Fire sprinklers are often found in public buildings. They are connected to smoke detectors, so when the detectors go off, the fire sprinklers do as well.Standard wet-pipe fire extinguishers (the kind that you'll find in most buildings) have 2 components: the fire pump and the pipe system.

How do you turn off a fire sprinkler tamper alarm?

First you locate the source of the alarm, undo the condition (e.g., valve closed, inadequate pressure, etc), then reset the alarm condition on the sprinkler control panel and reset the alarm on the fire alarm control panel (assuming they're connected, as required by many fire codes).
