How much does it cost to run a sprinkler?

$3.15 per/hour I just did calculation based on: -- City water price of 0.015 cents per gallon of water (water & sewer) -- A GPM rating of 3.5 gallons per minute on the single sprinkler --TOTAL it costs me $3.15 per hour to run a single standard hose-type sprinkler **note: there is a large variation of in garden sprinklers. Some have GPM of 0.5 all the way up to 8. Average sprinklers run 3-4 GPM. I split the difference of the average.

How is a fire sprinkler is rated by capacity in gpm or what?

Fire sprinklers are rated by gpm per square foot, plus the temperature at which they are triggered, plus the diameter of the spray (angle of the cone), among other things.


How to convert meters into gpm?

You need to know the linear density.


What are the automatic sprinkler requirements for an ordinary-hazard group 1 occupancy?

Ordinary Hazard Group 1 density is 0.15 gpm/sq ft over 1500 sq ft if wet pipe system Ordinary Hazard Group II density is 0.20 gpm/sq ft over 1500 sq ft if wet pipe system (according to NFPA 13) There are factors that can change the density and area requirements depending on variou sfactors, but in general the above densities/area are correct.


How many gpm does a commercial fire sprinkler put out?

There are many variables. The sprinkler heads come in different sizes. Rate of flow will be determined by the head-size, the frictional losses in the supply pipework, and the head of water available. In a single building example, sprinkler heads of exactly the same type, and fed by exactly the same bore pipework, on three different floors will give three different flow rates. Simple answer? "It varies"

How do you calculate gpm?

The easiest way would be to capture the sprinkler water and fill a 5gallon bucket and time your self. When the buckets full then divide the time it took by 5 and you have your GPM.
