Fire water: hydrant, sprinkler & fire pumps
Where does the pump flow come from?
From IS 13039:2014 by hazard and hydrant count, checked against the sprinkler remote area under IS 15105. The floors used here are 96 m³/h at 5.6 kg/cm², 171 m³/h at 7 kg/cm², and 410 m³/h at 8.8 kg/cm².
Which standard sizes the pump set?
IS 12469 and NFPA 20. Diesel sets on the catalogue also follow the TAC rules already printed on those listings.
How is the tank volume checked?
Volume in cubic metres is flow in litres per minute, times hours, times 60, divided by 1,000. A 3,400 L/min pump for 3 hours is 612 m³. Duration follows the hazard in IS 13039:2014 Table 4.
