1.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Furnish piping offsets, fittings, and any other accessories as required to provide a complete installation and to eliminate interference with other construction. Install sprinkler system over and under ducts, piping and platforms when such equipment can negatively effect or disrupt the sprinkler discharge pattern and coverage. Provide wet pipe sprinkler system in all areas of the building. Except as modified herein, the system shall be designed and installed in accordance with UFC 3-600-01 , NFPA 24 , and NFPA 13 . Pipe sizes which are not indicated on Drawings shall be determined by hydraulic calculation. Design any portions of the sprinkler system that are not indicated on the Drawings including locating sprinklers, piping and equipment, and size piping and equipment when this information is not indicated on the Drawings or is not specified herein.

The design of the sprinkler system shall be based on hydraulic calculations, and the other provisions specified herein.

1.2.1 Hydraulic Design

Hydraulically design the system to discharge minimum densities indicated on the Drawings. Hydraulic calculations shall be in accordance with the Area/Density Method of NFPA 13 . Water velocity in the piping shall not exceed 20 ft/s.

1.2.1.1 Basis for Calculations

Perform a hydrant flow test, and incorporate this test into the hydraulic calculations. Hydrant flow testing shall be in accordance with NFPA 291 , and the results of the testing shall be submitted as indicated in NFPA 291 figure 4.11.2. The calculations shall be based on operation of the fire

SECTION 21 13 13.00 10 Page 3 pump provided in Section 21 30 00 FIRE PUMPS.

1.2.1.2 Hydraulic Calculations

Submit hydraulic calculations, including a drawing showing hydraulic reference points and pipe segments and as outlined in NFPA 13 , except that calculations shall be performed by computer using software intended specifically for fire protection system design using the design data shown on the Drawings. Software that uses k-factors for typical branch lines is not acceptable. Calculations shall be based on the water supply data obtained from Section 1.2.1.1 to substantiate that the design area used in the calculations is the most demanding hydraulically. Although the backflow preventer may not have pressure loss of 12 psi, include a 12 psi pressure loss across the backflow preventer. Water supply curves and system requirements shall be plotted on semi-logarithmic graph paper so as to present a summary of the complete hydraulic calculation. Provide a summary sheet listing sprinklers in the design area and their respective hydraulic reference points, elevations, actual discharge pressures and actual flows. Elevations of hydraulic reference points (nodes) shall be indicated. Documentation shall identify each pipe individually and the nodes connected thereto. Indicate the diameter, length, flow, velocity, friction loss, number and type fittings, total friction loss in the pipe, equivalent pipe length and Hazen-Williams coefficient for each pipe. For gridded systems, calculations shall show peaking of demand area friction loss to verify that the hydraulically most demanding area is being used.

Also for gridded systems, a flow diagram indicating the quantity and direction of flows shall be included. A drawing showing hydraulic reference points (nodes) and pipe designations used in the calculations shall be included and shall be independent of Shop Drawings.

1.2.2 Sprinkler Coverage

Sprinklers shall be uniformly spaced on branch lines. Sprinklers shall provide coverage throughout 100 percent of the facility. This includes, inside the trainer aircraft and below the trainer aircraft wings and fuselage. See Drawings for further information. Coverage per sprinkler shall be in accordance with NFPA 13 , except extended coverage sprinklers are not permitted.

1.3 SUBMITTALS

Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" designation;

submittals not having a "G" designation are for information only. When used, a designation following the "G" designation identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government. Shop Drawings shall include the necessary parts of SD-02, SD-03, and SD-05 to create a single complete package in accordance with NFPA 13 for Working Drawings (Chapter 23).
