In this series of tutorials, we cover the basics of hydraulics calculations as it relates to fire protection engineering. It coves some of the more useful hydraulic formulas such as discharge from a sprinkler head ( K-Factor), Bernoulli's Theorem, Water Density and the pressure loss formula Hazen-Williams.

It is important for fire protection engineers and designers to understand the hydraulic calculations and analysis principles to be fully gain the benefits of using full hydraulic calculations in fire protection systems such as fire sprinklers, water mist and other types of water-based extinguishing systems.
