Distribution of Water Through a Vertical Plane from Automatic Sprinkler Heads
An investigation was conducted to evaluate the distribution of water through a vertical plane from automatic sprinkler heads as a function of water discharge rate and sprinkler spacing. Tests were conducted to simulate discharging an automatic sprinkler head in a corridor to determine the effectiveness of the sprinkler head in covering a doorway with water spray when positioned at various locations. Major differences in distribution characteristics between sprinkler heads produced by different manufacturers were observed. It was determined that only sprinklers installed on the centerline of the doorway and discharging water at a flow rate of 20 gallons-per-minute or more would cover the top of the doorway.
