For one of my classes in college, I need to make a model of something related to fire safety/physics. I need some info on how to make a model of a sprinkler system (what parts are needed and how to put it together). If anyone knows, or knows a website, please post. OR if you know how to do anything else related to fire safety/physics, please post as well. Thank you!

Well, I don't want it to be complicated. I don't care what kind it uses. I want something very simple. I just want to hook up a pipe of some sort to a sprinkler system and for it to spray water. That's all. It doesn't matter how it's done, as long as it sprays water. The simplest way is fine!

Sprinkler System? Depending on which standard you are refering. Could be NFPA 13 or LPC
Guideline for LPC standard.
1. Determine what kind of sprinkler system you want to use eg.
LH - Low Harzard
OH - Ordinary Harzard, which also divided into OH 1,2 and 3
HH - High Harzard
2. Determine the highest level of your sprinkler point.
3. Size the Tank accordingly.
4. Sprinkler system shall have the following
: Standing pressure of 12 bar
: Jockey Pump kicks in at 9 bar
: Duty Pump via electrical supply kicks in at 7 bar
: Standby Pump via diesle or geset supply kicks in at 4 bar
5. Size the main pipe to the first Alarm Valve.
6. From alarm Valve, determine which type of sprinkler system you want to use :
: Wet Type (General)
: Dry Pipe
: Deluge
: Preaction type
7. Design your main pipe after steps No. 6 whereby you have the following options :
: Tree type
: Ring type
8. Design the Sprinkler point spacking base on LPC recommendation
9. Determine which type of sprinkler you want to use eg.
: Sidewall
: Ceiling Concealed
: Up Right
: Downspray
10. Determine which temperature range of the sprinkler. normally 68 degree or 79 degree.
11. Perform hydraullic calculation from the alarm valve up to the most critical 48 sprinkler points so that your hydraullic losses won't be more than 0.5 bar
Things you need for your sprinkler.
- GI Pipe
- Sprinkler Head
- Duty, Jockey and Standby pump c/w accessories eg. valve, reducer, flexible, strainer, Pressure Switch and Pressure Gauge
- Tank
- Discharge or Testign Pipe c/w gauge
- Alarm Valve,
- Flow Switch,
- Branch Pipe
- Pressure relief valve if needed
- End of Line discharge pipe
Yupp, you need to do zoning as well.

Good timing: next week is National Fire Prevention Week. Below are websites for the American Fire Sprinkler Association and the National Fire Protection Association. They are the two major professional organizations for the fire sprinkler industry. Good luck on your project!

development code demands an anti-siphon (anti-syphon for you Brits) valve to keep away from the creation of backyard chemical components (which comprise weed killers, etc.) into the homestead's ingesting water. that is substantial
