Determine fire flow requirements in GPM based on building type, area, and hazard level. Uses NFPA and ISO formulas for accurate water supply planning and code compliance.
Calculate the required water flow rate for firefighting based on building characteristics. Enter the building type, size, and fire hazard level to determine the necessary gallons per minute (GPM) for effective firefighting operations.
Fire flow is calculated based on building type, size, and hazard level. For residential buildings, we use a square root formula, while commercial and industrial buildings use exponential formulas with different factors to account for their higher fire risks. The result is rounded to the nearest 50 GPM as per standard practice.
