Height in metres
Pressure in Kg./cm2
Height in meters
Pressure in Kg./cm2
1 0.1 15 1.5
2 0.2 20 2.0

10 1.0 60 6.0
NOTE: - In applying this table the height of the Highest Sprinkler above the Pressure Gauge must be ascertained and the pressure to be allowed for such height will be obtained by reference to the table. For example, if the gauge records a pressure of 4.25 Kg./cm2, and the highest sprinkler is 28 m above the gauge, there will be a pressure of, say, 1.45 Kg./cm2 on the highest sprinkler.
