Hydraulic calculations for Wet & Dry risers systems

A useful research report has been published by ODPM to provided information on the limitations of fire rising mains such as wet and dry risers complying with BS 5306 part 1 : 2006.  The report looks at a number of different pumps and nozzle and hydraulic calculates the pressure loss through the pipe.
