    Pitot tube vs hydrant cap gauge

    The advantage for a pitot tube would be when you need to measure a larger volume of flow than one single 2-1/2" hydrant outlet can provide.

    Room Design / Less than 4 sprinklers / Residential heads

    Material Recycling Center - Tipping Area - Extra Hazard 2 or Solid Pile Storage?

    Material Recycling Center - Tipping Area - Extra Hazard 2 or Solid Pile Storage?

    Hi, We are working on a design-build project for an existing recycling facility that has a tipping area with a ceiling height of 39'-0". The existing sprinkler system in-place which is rotted out was designed as solid-pile plastics to 5'-0" max storage height (0.2GPM/sq.ft over 1950sq.ft)...
