Summary
Steps of a hand calculation of sprinkler or heat detector response with the Alpert correlations, including the checks on their validity. Based on Iqbal and Salley (2004), pp. 10-9 to 10-12, and Alpert (2002), pp. 2-19 to 2-20.
Original illustration for Alpert correlations, level 4 Expert.
- Source basis: Iqbal and Salley (2004), p. 10-9 (activation time equation, series of steady fires), p. 10-10 (correlations and regions), p. 10-12 (assumptions); Alpert (2002), p. 2-19 (regions, unconfined ceiling) and p. 2-20 (2Q and 4Q); Stroup et al. (2016), pp. 6-17 to 6-18 (under-prediction with a hot gas layer)
- Alt text: Flowchart from fire inputs through checks for walls and a hot gas layer to the ceiling jet temperature, velocity and activation time.
