sheet as well as the applicable installation Standard being
utilized.
Globe Residential Sprinkler Installation Guide
When conditions exist that are outside the scope of the pro
-
vided criteria, refer to the Globe Residential Sprinkler Instal-
lation Guide (Document GFS-380) for recommendations
that may be acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction.
Hydraulic Design (NFPA 13D and 13R)
For systems designed to NFPA 13D or NFPA 13R, the min
-
imum required sprinkler flow rate is given in Table A for the
coverage areas shown. The sprinkler flow rate is the min
-
imum required discharge from each of the total number of
“design sprinklers” as specified in NFPA 13D or NFPA 13R.
Hydraulic Design (NFPA 13)
The minimum required discharge from each design area
sprinkler shall be the greater of the following:
(1)
In accordance with minimum flow rates indicated in
TABLE A.
(2) In rooms or compartments greater than 800 ft
2
(74.3 m
2
), calculated based on delivering a minimum
of 0.1 gpm/ft
2
(4.1 mm/min) over the coverage area of
each sprinkler, calculated in accordance with the
S x L Rules for density area sprinklers.
(3) In rooms or compartments 800 ft
2
(74.3 m
2
) or less
(Defined as “Small Rooms”) calculated based on
de-
livering a minimum of 0.1 gpm/ft
2
(4.1 mm/min) over
the room or compartment using the area of the room
divided by the number of sprinklers in the room.
