Need to specify sprinkler booster pump for one project. Hydraulic calculations show that 75gpm@50PSI will do the job. But in NFPA20 (Centrifugal pump capacities section) there are 50gpm and next capacity is 100gpm. Do I have to comply with this or for booster pump I can choose 75gpm (manufacturers, like ITT Pumps) provide this

Thank you for your feedback
