1.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Provide wet pipe sprinkler system(s) in areas indicated on the drawings.

Except as modified herein, the system must meet the requirements of NFPA 13 .

Pipe sizes which are not indicated on the Contract drawings must be determined by hydraulic calculations.

1.2.1 Hydraulic Design

1.2.1.1 Basis for Calculations

A waterflow test was performed on July 27, 2021 at the hydrant nearest the existing sprinkler tie-in while flowing the hydrant in front of the B20652 parking area. It resulted in a static pressure of 91 psi with a residual pressure of 89 psi while flowing 475 gpm. It is believed that there is an issue with the hydrant used for flow and it has been indicated to the base.

Perform a fire hydrant flow test prior to Hydraulic Calculations submittal, if required, in accordance with NFPA 291 . Results must include hydrant elevations relative to the building and hydrant number/identifiers for the tested hydrants, including which were flowed, which had a gauge.

If the issue with the other hydrant has not been corrected, use different test hydrants. This information must be presented in a tabular form if multiple hydrants were flowed. The results must be included with the hydraulic calculations. Hydraulic calculations must be based on flow test noted in this paragraph, unless approved by Contracting Officer.

Hydraulic calculations must be based upon the Hazen-Williams formula with a "C" value noted in NFPA 13 for piping, and 120 for existing underground piping.

1.2.1.2 Hydraulic Calculations

a. Hydraulic calculations are not required if the number of new sprinklers (not including those swapped out in a ceiling, using the existing outlets) does not exceed 20 sprinklers. If hydraulic calculations are not provided, then pipe sizing is to be consistent with the pipe schedule method.

SECTION 21 13 13 Page 2

b. Water supply curves and system requirements must be plotted on semi-logarithmic graph (N^1.85) paper so as to present a summary of the complete hydraulic calculation.

c. Provide a summary sheet listing sprinklers in the design area and their respective hydraulic reference points, elevations, minimum discharge pressures and minimum flows. Elevations of hydraulic reference points (nodes) must be indicated.

d. Documentation must 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.

e. Where the sprinkler system is supplied by interconnected risers, the sprinkler system must be hydraulically calculated using the hydraulically most demanding single riser. The calculations must not assume the simultaneous use of more than one riser.

f. All calculations must include the backflow preventer manufacturer's stated friction loss at the design flow or 8 psi for double check backflow preventer, whichever is greater.

g. All calculations must be performed back to the actual location of the flow test, taking into account the direction of flow in the service main at the test location.

h. For gridded systems, calculations must show peaking of demand area friction loss to verify that the hydraulically most demanding area is being used. A flow diagram indicating the quantity and direction of flows must be included.

1.2.1.3 Design Criteria

Hydraulically design the system, if hydraulic calculations are required per above, to discharge a minimum density of 0.20 gpm/square foot over the hydraulically most demanding 2,500 square feet of floor area. Hydraulic calculations must be in accordance with the Area/Density Method of NFPA 13 .

Add an allowance for exterior hose streams of 500 gpm to the sprinkler system demand at the point of connection to the existing water system.

1.2.2 Sprinkler Coverage

Sprinklers must be uniformly spaced on branch lines. Provide coverage throughout 100 percent of the area noted on the Contract drawings.

Coverage per sprinkler must be in accordance with NFPA 13 . Provide sprinklers below all obstructions in accordance with NFPA 13 .

1.3 SUBMITTALS

Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" or "S" classification. Submittals not having a "G" or "S" classification are for Contractor Quality Control approval. When used, a code following the "G" classification identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government. Partial submittals and submittals not fully complying with NFPA 13 and this specification section must be returned disapproved without review. SD-02, SD-03 and SD-05 must be submitted simultaneously.
