Hydraulic Calculations for Fire Protection: What They Are and Their Importance

Recorded On: 10/27/2019

Hydraulic calculations measure the water flow and pressure in a system. The calculations allow engineers to size piping to ensure that the required flow and pressure are met to operate the system. In this lecture we will go over the basics of the process, including equations and tables, to all of the applications the calculations can be used on and how to ensure they are correct.
