This is the first in a series of blogs aimed at providing an overview of the basics of fire sprinkler design calculations (demand calculations) using the density/area design method found in the 2022 edition of NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems. Today we will focus on subsection 19.2.3, which addresses the water demand ...
How is a fire sprinkler system created? Learn about the design process, basic math, and system components used for fire sprinkler system design.
approved fire sprinkler systems are installed in buildings. They are applicable only to the fire areas or where the NFPA 13 fire sprinklers are installed throughout. They are also applicable even though NFPA 13 fire sprinklers are required by other sections of the building code.
Chapters 28 through 36 cover the hydraulic calculation of fire sprinkler systems, the sizing and selection of water supplies, pumps, and tanks, and discuss the interface of the sprinkler system with standpipe systems and alarm and supervisory systems.

Determine the proper sprinkler system layout and installation requirements and methods. Interpret sprinkler specifications, plans (shop drawings), manufacturer’s technical data sheets, and flow tests. Identify sprinkler types, system types, pipe types, hangers, fittings, system components, etc.
How NFPA 13 addresses wet, dry, preaction, and deluge sprinkler systems.
Learn about fire sprinkler system diagrams and how they are used to illustrate the layout and functionality of a fire sprinkler system. Understand the various components, including sprinkler heads, pipes, control valves, and alarms, as well as their placement and interconnections.
A fire sprinkler system is a simple, but key, active component of a domestic or commercial building’s fire protection system. Installed in ceilings or side walls, the system consists of a water supply, a water distribution piping system and sprinkler heads.
Fire sprinkler systems are designed to detect and suppress fires at their early stages, often before the fire department arrives. In many cases, a well-maintained fire sprinkler system can prevent significant damage, saving lives and protecting property.
