FireCalc Pro implements the hydraulic calculation requirements of all major Australian and international fire protection standards. Select the applicable standard per project — the correct friction method, hazard classes, and remote area rules are applied automatically.
Sprinkler Systems
Fire Hydrant Systems
Hose Reel Systems
Water Mist Systems
The primary Australian standard governing the design, installation, and commissioning of automatic fire sprinkler systems. FireCalc Pro fully implements Part 1 (General systems), with hydraulic design per Section 10, remote area selection, hazard classification, and K-factor discharge calculations.
Governs fire hydrant system design for Australian buildings and sites. Covers pipe sizing, booster pump requirements, simultaneous outlet demand, and water supply adequacy. FireCalc Pro calculates the full hydrant main from supply point to most remote outlet per this standard.
Australian standard for water mist systems used in suppression, control, and extinguishing applications. Requires Darcy-Weisbach friction method for small-bore, high-pressure pipework. FireCalc Pro applies this method with Reynolds-number-dependent friction factors.
The New Zealand equivalent of AS2118, with minor differences in hazard classifications and remote area requirements. FireCalc Pro supports NZS4541 alongside AS2118 and automatically applies the correct parameters based on the selected standard.
The world's most widely adopted sprinkler standard, published by the National Fire Protection Association. Frequently referenced for design-only projects in Australia and New Zealand where the local authority permits its use. FireCalc Pro supports NFPA 13 density-area method and the hydraulic calculation procedure.
Covers standpipe systems, hose connections, and combined sprinkler-standpipe configurations. FireCalc Pro calculates standpipe hydraulics per NFPA 14, including pressure requirements at each hose connection and pump selection.
The NFPA standard governing water mist systems, covering system types, pipe materials, nozzle performance, and hydraulic design. Used in conjunction with AS4587 for international projects or where the local authority accepts NFPA references.
Singapore's national standard for automatic fire sprinkler system design, based substantially on BS EN 12845 with local amendments. FireCalc Pro supports SSPC52 for engineering firms with Singapore projects, applying the correct hazard classifications and remote area requirements.
FireCalc Pro is updated as standards are revised. Engineers should verify that the version of each standard referenced in their jurisdiction is the version implemented. For critical projects, always confirm compliance requirements with the relevant Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) or fire authority.
