BlazeMaster® CPVC Hydraulic Calculation Guide

How Hydraulic Calculation Can Save Time and Money Designing Fire Protection Systems

When designing fire sprinkler systems, BlazeMaster® Fire Protection Systems recommends using hydraulic calculation.

According to the NFPA, “A sprinkler system designed using hydraulic (calculation) is preferable over those systems designed using a pipe schedule approach.”

For those comparing the advantages of both design methods, our team of experts put together the following guide. In it, we:

  • Explain the difference between hydraulic calculation and the Pipe Schedule System.
  • Detail the Hazen-Williams formula and how it’s used in hydraulic calculation.
  • Provide access to free online Hazen-Williams formula online calculators.
  • Showcase how builders can save significant time and money using a hydraulically calculated BlazeMaster Fire Protection System.
