Question 1

The contract document states that the fire sprinkler system must be capable of protecting Cartoned Nonexpanded

Group A plastic stored on wood pallets to a height of 25 ft (7.6 m) under a 35 ft (10.7 m) high ceiling using

K16.8 (240) ESFR sprinklers. What is the minimum operating pressure?



Answer : B

For K16.8 (240) ESFR sprinklers protecting high-piled storage of Cartoned Nonexpanded Group A plastic, a minimum operating pressure of 50 psi is commonly required. This pressure ensures an adequate sprinkler discharge to effectively suppress fires in highly combustible materials.


Question 2

A new office area located inside a warehouse space is being designed as a light hazard occupancy. This office area

may be protected with



Answer : C

A new office area designed as a light hazard occupancy can be adequately protected using standard-response spray sprinklers. These sprinklers are suitable for environments with low fire load densities, such as office spaces.


Question 3

An existing building with an existing sprinkler system is constructed with 26 in. (660 mm) beams framed into girders spaced on 7 ft (2.1 m) centers. What is the maximum distance permitted below the ceiling or roof deck if standard upright sprinklers are positioned in the center of each section?



Answer : C

When using standard upright sprinklers with beams framed into girders spaced on 7 ft centers, a maximum distance of 12 in. below the ceiling or roof deck is typically permitted. This ensures the sprinklers maintain effective coverage while accommodating architectural features.


Question 4

What K-factor would result with 65 gpm (246 lpm) flowing at 14.9 psi (1.03 bar)?



Answer : B

With 65 gpm flowing at 14.9 psi, a K-factor of approximately 11.2 (160) can be deduced using the K-factor formula, which relates flow, pressure, and the K-factor in sprinkler system calculations.


Question 5

Four sprinklers are in a 460 ft2 (42.7 m2) room of ordinary hazard, Group 1 occupancy. Each sprinkler coverage area

is 120 ft2 (11.1 m2). What is the minimum water required from each flowing sprinkler?



Answer : C

For four sprinklers in a 460 ft room of ordinary hazard, Group 1 occupancy, with each sprinkler covering an area of 120 ft, the minimum water required from each flowing sprinkler would be approximately 20 gpm, ensuring adequate coverage and density for the hazard classification.
