General Information
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS (Continued)
Flow Calculation Limitations (Continued)
• Maximum elevation difference in pipe runs:
– Statement No. 1. If nozzles are only located above the
tank outlet, then the maximum elevation difference
between the tank outlet and the furthest horizontal
pipe run or discharge nozzle (whichever is furthest)
shall not exceed 100 ft. (30.5 m). See Figure 1.
– Statement No. 2. If nozzles are only located below the
container outlet, then the maximum elevation differ-
ence between the tank outlet and the furthest horizon-
tal pipe run or discharge nozzle (whichever is furthest)
shall not exceed 100 ft. (30.5 m). See Figure 1.
– Statement No. 3. If nozzles are located both above
and below the tank outlet, then the maximum eleva-
tion difference between the furthest horizontal pipe
runs or discharge nozzles (whichever is furthest) shall
not exceed 100 ft. (30.5 m). See Figure 1.
Note: If a system design violates these limits, contact Ansul
to determine what action has to be taken.
