Sprinkler Hydraulics
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-02594-6 (ISBN)
- Includes the latest developments in automatic sprinkler design, as well as going beyond the NFPA 13 Standard to explain everything needed to know to professionally design a system;
- Starting with a general discussion of the mathematics involved, the discussion proceeds to define sprinkler density, including several examples which explain how to determine discharge areas;
- Explains flow phenomena to help the reader evaluate calculated sprinkler systems.
The Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE) was established in 1950 and incorporated as an independent organization in 1971. It is the professional society representing those practicing the field of fire protection engineering. The Society has over 4,600 members and 92 chapters, including 17 student chapters worldwide. The purpose of SFPE is to advance the science and practice of fire protection engineering and its allied fields, to maintain a high ethical standard among its members and to foster fire protection engineering education.
