Sprinkler sizing

[ticku]

Hello

I need to install a sprinkler with 3/8'' orifice, min discharge density of 0.5gpm/ft^2. We have a 2'' 150# firewater header with 4 sprinklers already connected to it. Can we add more sprinklers to this system, how do we go about determining the max capacity in that 2'' header.

Thanks
nik

You've got to do a hydraulic analysis of your firewate distribution system.
