Standard for Installation of Fire Safety Devices based on Use and Occupancy Article 58

The water source installed as prescribed in the preceding article shall be connected to the pressurized type water supply system, and installed pursuant to one of the following conditions:1.Where a gravity tank is used, the following requirements shall apply:(1)The system shall be equipped with a water level gauge, drainage pipe, overflow drainage pipe, water supply pipe, and man hole.(2)The required drop height of the tank shall be higher than that obtained from the formula provided below:Required drop height =friction loss head of piping + 10 (unit: meters)H = h1 + 10m2.Where a pressure tank is used, the following requirements shall apply:(1)The system shall be equipped with a pressure gauge, water level gauge, drainpipe, water supply pipe, air supply pipe, air compressor, and man hole.(2)It is imperative that at least 1/3 space of the water tank shall be allotted to hold air, and pressure shall be more than adequate to maintain the prescribed pressure necessary to discharge or spray water from a sprinkler located at the highest point of a building. Automatic pressurization shall be effected whenever air pressure and water level inside the tank decreases. The air compressor and the pressurizing pump shall be connected to emergency power source.(3)The essential water tank pressure shall be above the minimum pressure, as obtained from the equation set below:Essential pressure = friction loss head of piping + drop height + 1 (Unit: kgf/cm2)P = P1 + P2 + 1 kgf/cm23.Where a fire pump is used, the following requirements shall apply:(1)Fire pump capacity shall be the sprinkler quantity prescribed in the foregoing article multiplied by 90 L/min (for high rack warehouse, 130 L/min). Where sprinklers for small compartments are used, sprinkler quantity shall be multiplied by 60 L/min. Where discharge nozzles are used, the capacity shall be prescribed based on the recognized computation formula of the central fire regulating authority.(2)The total head of the pump shall be set above that determined through the following equation:Total head of the pump = friction loss head of piping + drop height + 10 (Unit: meters)H = h1 + h2 + 10m(3)Fire pumps shall be used dedicatedly. However, this requirement is not applicable where other fire extinguishing equipments are available for use, providing that simultaneous usage of varying equipments do not negatively affect equipment performance.(4)Fire Pumps shall be connected to the emergency power source.The aforesaid pressurized type water supply system shall comply with the requirements set forth in Article 37 Paragraph 2 Subparagraph 1, 2 and 5. Moreover, it is imperative that the sprinkler discharge pressure shall not exceed 10 kg/cm2 or 1 MPa.
中文原文 各類場所消防安全設備設置標準第58條
依前條設置之水源應連結加壓送水裝置,並依下列各款擇一設置:
一、重力水箱,應符合下列規定:
(一)有水位計、排水管、溢水用排水管、補給水管及人孔之裝置。
(二)水箱必要落差在下列計算值以上:必要落差=配管摩擦損失水頭+10(計算單位:公尺)H=h1+10m二、壓力水箱,應符合下列規定:
(一)有壓力表、水位計、排水管、補給水管、給氣管、空氣壓縮機及人孔之裝置。
(二)水箱內空氣占水箱容積之三分之一以上,壓力在使用建築物最高處之撒水頭維持規定放水水壓所需壓力以上。
當水箱內壓力及液面減低時,能自動補充加壓。
空氣壓縮機及加壓幫浦與緊急電源相連接。
(三)水箱必要壓力在下列計算值以上:必要壓力=配管摩擦損失水頭+落差+1(計算單位:公斤/平方公分)P=P1+P2+1kgf/c㎡三、消防幫浦,應符合下列規定:
(一)幫浦出水量,依前條規定核算之撒水頭數量,乘以每分鐘九十公升(設於高架儲存倉庫者,為一百三十公升)。
但使用小區劃型撒水頭者,應乘以每分鐘六十公升。
另放水型撒水頭依中央消防機關認可者計算之。
(二)幫浦全揚程在下列計算值以上:幫浦全揚程=配管摩擦損失水頭+落差+10(計算單位:公尺)H=h1+h2+10m(三)應為專用。
但與其他滅火設備並用,無妨礙各設備之性能時,不在此限。
(四)連接緊急電源。
前項加壓送水裝置除應準用第三十七條第二項第一款、第二款及第五款規定外,撒水頭放水壓力應在每平方公分十公斤以下或1MPa以下。
