KF 5.6 – Upright, Pendent & Recessed Pendent

Description

Micro Automation provides upright, pendent-type sprinkler heads.

A fire sprinkler or sprinkler head is a part of a fire sprinkler system that releases water when the effects of a fire are detected, such as when a predetermined temperature is reached.

K-factor is used to compute the discharge rate from fire sprinkler heads. It is computed in imperial units for the United States by multiplying the flow in gallons per minute (GPM) by the pressure in PSI. A sprinkler with an imperial K factor of 5.6 produces a flow rate of 15.0 US GPM and a pressure drop of 7.2 psi. Alternatively, for a given flow rate through the sprinkler, the pressure loss can be estimated using the K value.

The Sprinklers, Glass Bulb Type), Standard Orifice, Upright, Pendent, and Recessed Pendent types, use cutting-edge, heat-responsive, frangible glass bulb design (standard or quick response) for quick, precise operation.
