The Hazen Williams formula for use in fire sprinkler systems - Canute LLP
Listed in the table bellow are typical values for the coefficient C, which can be used in the Hazen-Williams formula for different fire sprinkler design standards. The value of C represents the pipes roughness with higher values of C giving lower friction losses. The values given in the design standards allow for degradation of the pipe, for instance new cast iron pipe has a C coefficient of 130 and EN 12845 gives the value of 100, this is equivalent to a pipe, which is about 20 years old
