SPRINKLER WATER TANK CAPACITY CALCULATION:

PROJECT:

1. Minimum effective storage capacity required for a sprinkler s 135 c.m

2. Tank size as follows:


Length: 24 ft 7.32 m
Width: 20 ft 6.10 m
Height: 12 ft 3.66 m

3. Outlet pipe size: 200 mm

Based on outlet pipe located at base of tank non effective height of the water is 620mm, for a
200mm outlet pipe

4. Assue height to air space at top of tank to be 300mm.

5. Effective height of water = Tank height - Non effective Height - air space height
= 3660 mm - 620 mm - 300 mm - 200 mm - 150 mm
= 2390 mm
= 2.39 m

Therefore, Effective capacity of Water Tank = 7.32 m x 6.10 m x 3.66 m


= 106.58 cu.m
SPRINKLER WATER TANK CAPACITY CALCULATION:
PROJECT:

1. Minimum effective storage capacity required for a sprinkler system is 70 cu.m

2. Tank size as follows:


Length: 20 ft 6.10 m
Width: 20 ft 6.10 m
Height: 8 ft 2.44 m

3. Outlet pipe size: 150 mm

Based on outlet pipe located at base of tank non effective height of the water is 500mm, for a
150mm outlet pipe

By using the vortex inhibitor for 150mm outlet pipe, therefore the non effective height of the water is red

4. Assue height to air space at top of tank to be 300mm.

5. Effective height of water = Tank height - air space height - Non effective Height
= 2440 mm - 300 mm - 75 mm
= 2065 mm
= 2.065 m

Therefore, Effective capacity of Water Tank = 6.10 m x 6.10 m x


= 76.74 cu.m
s 500mm, for a

height of the water is reduced from 500mm to 75mm.

fective Height

2.07 m
