General Assumptions:
1- The calculation presented here below are for reference and guidance only,
as foam system is a pre-engineered system to come complete from the supplier.
2- The system used is an automatic sprinkler systems utilizing
foam/water sprinkler heads, integrated into a complete deluge system.
