    Pump Head Calculation

    Uploaded by

    kenoly123
    A fire pump increases the pressure of water from a water supply, such as an underground tank, for a fire protection system. The fire pump head is calculated as the sum of the static head, residual head, friction loss head in pipes, and friction loss head in fittings. An Excel sheet can perform all hydraulic calculations to estimate the required fire pump size and pipe sizing for a fire sprinkler system based on factors like hazard classification, sprinkler coverage area, design density, total design area, and pipe material.

    A fire pump is a part of a fire protection system’s water supply.

    It is
    important to know that a fire pump does not create water, it takes
    water that is given to it from a water supply such as underground
    water tank and increases the pressure (energy) of the water.

    Head of fire pump = Hs + Hr + HLF + HLP

    Hs: Static Head


    Hr: Residual Head
    HLF: Friction Loss Head
    Friction Loss Head = Friction Loss in Pipes + Friction Loss in Fittings

    All these calculations of fire pump head are performed in the


    following excel sheet.

    Fire Pump Tables

    This excel sheet calculator performs all hydraulic


    calculations for fire sprinkler system. Fire protection systems
    design engineers always perform hydraulic calculation for fire
    fighting systems so as to estimate fire pump size and network pipe
    sizing

    The fire pump size is basically depends on head loss in pipes and
    the required flow rate for the system.

    This xls calculator contains all formulas that required for


    calculating head loss and estimating fire pump size according to:

    1. Hazard classification
    2. Coverage area per sprinkler
    3. Design density
    4. Total design area
    5. Material of pipe (c value)
