Fire Pump Head Calculation Guide

This document summarizes the calculations to determine the required head of a fire pump. It includes parameters like pipe diameters, lengths, and flow rates. It also defines abbreviations for static head, residual head, and friction loss head. The calculations show the friction loss head in pipes and fittings is 27.84 feet and 5.57 feet respectively. Adding these values to the static head of 0 feet and residual head of 230.86 feet gives the required fire pump head of 114.55 Psi or 264.26 feet.
