1.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

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 NFPA 13, UFC 3-600-01 and ETL 02-15. Pipe sizes 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. 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.

1.2.1 Hydraulic Design

Hydraulically design the Maintenance Bay wet pipe system to discharge a minimum density of 0.20 gpm/square foot over the hydraulically most demanding 5000 square feet of Hangar Bay. Support area design densities and areas are indicated on the drawings. The minimum pipe size for branch lines in gridded systems shall be 1-1/4 inch. 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 above grade and 10 ft/s below grade.

1.2.1.1 Basis for Calculations

The design of the system shall be based upon the water supply identified in Section 21 13 39 HIGH EXPANSION FOAM (HEF) FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM operating with the supply from the fire pumps provided in Section 21 30 00. Hangar Bay sprinkler systems shall have a corresponding HEF system discharging concurrently in a single calculation. Hydraulic calculations shall be based upon the Hazen-Williams formula with a "C" value of 120 for steel piping, 150 for copper tubing and PVC, 140 for new cement-lined ductile-iron piping, and 100 for existing underground piping.

1.2.1.2 Hydraulic Calculations

Prepare hydraulic calculations 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 substantiate that the design area used in the calculations is the most demanding hydraulically. 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 for both supply curve and demand curve. Computer generated water supply curves will not satisfy requirement. Provide a summary sheet listing sprinklers and foam generators in the design area and their respective hydraulic

SECTION 21 13 13.00 10 Page 3 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. Provide a friction loss curve for each friction loss device.

Indicate the diameter, length, flow, velocity, friction loss, number and type of fittings, total friction loss in the pipe, equivalent pipe length and Hazen-Williams coefficient for each pipe. Maximum velocity for above grade piping shall be 20 fps. 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. Hangar Bay wet pipe system shall be calculated to discharge concurrently with HEF system as described in Section 21 13 39 HIGH EXPANSION FOAM (HEF) FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM. Demand hydraulic calculations shall be based on the weakest combined water supply curve when the fire water tank is at the low level; supply hydraulic calculations shall be based on the strongest combined water supply curve when the fire water tank is at the high level.

1.2.2 Sprinkler Coverage

Sprinklers shall be uniformly spaced on branch lines. Sprinklers shall provide coverage throughout 100 percent of the building. This includes, but is not limited to, telephone rooms, electrical equipment rooms, boiler rooms, switchgear rooms, transformer rooms, and other electrical and mechanical spaces. Coverage per sprinkler shall be in accordance with NFPA 13, but shall not exceed 100 square feet for extra hazard occupancies, 130 square feet for ordinary hazard occupancies, and 225 square feet for light hazard occupancies.
