Axis Safety provides upright, pendent-type sprinkler heads.
A fire sprinkler or sprinkler head is the component of a fire sprinkler system
that discharges water when the effects of a fire have been detected, such as when a predetermined temperature has
been exceeded.
K-factor helps
to calculate the discharge rate from fire sprinkler heads. It's calculated in imperial units for the United
States by using the flow in gallons per minute (gpm) and the pressure in PSI.
A sprinkler with an imperial K factor of 5.6 would give a flow rate of 15.0 US gpm with a
pressure drop of 7.2 psi. Alternatively, for a given flow rate through the
sprinkler, the pressure loss can be calculated from the K value.
The
SHIELD Sprinklers, SD1010, SD1015, SD1030, SD1032 (Glass Bulb Type), Standard
Orifice, Upright, Pendent and Recessed Pendent type, design incorporates
state-of-the-art, heat responsive, frangible glass bulb design (standard or
quick response) for prompt, precise operation.
The
forged frame is more streamlined and attractive than traditional sand cast
frames. It is cast with a hex-shaped wrench to allow easy tightening from
different angles. This sprinkler is available in various temperature ratings
and finishes to meet many design requirements. The recessed pendent should be
utilized with a recessed escutcheon which provides up ¾” of adjustments. All
Sprinklers are manufactured using the time proven Belleville seal used
exclusively by all
