NOTES:
1. Design data obtained from tests in still air.
2. Design data applies to a residual (flowing) pressure range at the nozzle inlet
of 1,4 to 4,1 bar (20 to 60 psi). For pressures up to 12,1 bar (175 psi) consult
Tyco Fire Protection Products Technical Services.
Refer to the authority having jurisdiction for their minimum required residual
pressures.
3. The shapes of the Design Spray Profiles remain essentially unchanged over
the maximum Axial Distances shown in Tables E and F.
4. For axial distances of 0,6 meters (2 feet) and less and for nozzle spray angles
of 90° to 140°, the Design Spray Profile is the same as the nominal spray angle.
5. The maximum Axial Distances shown in Tables C and D are based on exposure
protection.
