Hydraulic calculation information


Water transportation and distribution networks require hydraulic calculations to determination the flowrate and pressure characteristics at one or several consumption points and the water supply flowrate and pressures needed to meet the design requirements.[1]

In the context of fire safety, hydraulic calculations are used to determine the flow of an extinguishing medium through a piping network and through discharge devices (e.g., nozzles, sprinklers) to control, suppress, or extinguish fires.
