随着住宅自动喷水灭火系统的安装变得越来越普遍，艾伯塔省埃德蒙顿市预见到需要更好地指导这些系统的设计和尺寸确定。该市建造了实验测试服务线，以获取铜、聚乙烯和聚氯乙烯管道以及相关仪表和阀门的水头损失的最新信息。本文介绍了试验结果和数据，以及可用于更准确地计算管道尺寸的方程式。包括10个参考文献、表格和图表。

With the installation of residential fire sprinkler systems becoming more widespread, the city of Edmonton, Alberta, foresaw a need for better guidelines for designing and sizing these systems. The city constructed experimental test service lines to obtain up-to-date information on head loss for copper, polyethylene, and polyvinyl chloride pipe, as well as associated meters and valves. Test results and data are presented here along with equations that can be used to more accurately calculate pipe sizes. Includes 10 references, tables, figures.
