Fire Pump Tools workflow
Use this category page as a workflow control surface: confirm entry conditions, run the tools, review quality gates, and keep the records.
| Phase | Workflow step | Inputs | Outputs | Quality gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Phase 1 Engineering | Start with sprinkler demand, hose allowance, elevation, and required pressure. | Pump flow, Total head, System demand | Rated flow, Discharge pressure, Horsepower | Inputs have been checked against drawings, device listings, field test records, or project criteria. |
Phase 2 Engineering | Check pump flow, pressure, horsepower, and suction condition screens. | Total head, System demand, Elevation | Discharge pressure, Horsepower, NPSH available | Outputs including Rated flow, Discharge pressure, Horsepower, NPSH available have been reviewed before project use. |
Phase 3 Engineering | Review outputs against project criteria, pump curves, and final hydraulic calculations. | System demand, Elevation, Efficiency | Horsepower, NPSH available, Review flags | Warnings, failed screens, or narrow margins are documented before moving to the next workflow. |
Entry conditions
- 1Use this workflow when the task belongs to fire pump tools and the controlling project condition is known.
- 2Collect Pump flow, Total head, System demand, Elevation before opening individual calculators.
- 3Confirm the values are project-specific, field-measured, manufacturer-listed, or selected from linked reference tables.
Records to keep
- 1Fire Pump Tools input source checklist.
- 2Reviewed output set: Rated flow, Discharge pressure, Horsepower, NPSH available.
- 3Linked reference values used for the calculation basis.
- 4Next-step review note for final calculation package, field review, or submittal check.
