What is K factor nozzle?

In fire protection engineering, the K-factor formula is used to calculate the discharge rate from a nozzle. Spray Nozzles can be fire sprinklers or water mist nozzles, hose reel nozzles, water monitors and deluge fire system nozzles.

What do the numbers on sprinkler nozzles mean?

By referring to the Hunter PGP performance chart you will note the following: • As the nozzle size goes up the flow rate goes up. I.e. the flow rate on a Number 1 nozzle is. AT 206 KPA is 1.8 Litres per Minute (LPM), while a number 6 nozzle at the same pressure (206 KPA) has a flow rate of 7.4 LPM.

What is K-factor 8?

Description. The LIFECO Standard and Quick response sprinklers are thermo sensitive glass bulbsprinklers available in different finishes and temperature ratings to meet design requirements. These sprinklers are sidewall standard spray pattern to meet approval agencies requirement.

How do you read a nozzle chart?

On a standard nozzle chart, the top column that runs left to right is the pressure that you want to obtain. The left column top to bottom is the nozzle orifice size designation. The top to bottom column next to the orifice size column indicates the actual orifice measurement.

How do I know what size sprinkler nozzle to get?

Take the sprinkler head watering DIAMETER and multiply it by 0.6 to get the absolute maximum distance that should ever occur between any two adjacent sprinklers. (Remember most manufacturer’s give you the radius of the sprinkler, you need to multiply by 2 to get the diameter.)

Are rotary nozzles better?

Generally, rotor heads are the better choice for larger areas of turf. They have a low precipitation rate, so they will evenly cover more area over a longer period of time. This is ideal for sloped areas because it allows more time for water absorption.

What is K value for sprinkler?

The k-factor for a fire sprinkler is the discharge coefficient, or in normal human terms just relates to the amount of water that is permitted through the sprinkler. The k-factor is dependent upon the orifice diameter of the sprinkler – a low k-factor (such as K2.

What K factor is 17 32?

8.0 GPM/psi1/2
In contrast, a 17/32” sprinkler with a K-factor of 8.0 GPM/psi1/2 (115,2 LPM/bar1/2), which will only discharge 67 gpm (253,6 lpm) or only a . 67 gpm/ft2 (27,2 mm/min) over a coverage area of 100 ft2 (9,29 m2) per sprinkler.
