This document provides an equation and definitions for calculating the required opening area (A) for an agent flow given the flow rate (Q), maximum pressure increase (Δp), specific volume of the agent (vAgent), and specific volume of the air/agent mixture (vHOM). It recommends using 200-300 Pascals for Δp if a value is not specified, and 0.137 m3/kg and 0.6 m3 respectively for the specific volumes when calculating for FM-200 at a 7.9% concentration.
