An es[imate of the fire flo�� required for a given fire area may be de- termined by [he formula: F = 18 C (q)0.5 where F = the required iire flow in gpm C = coefficient related to the type ef construction C = 1.5 for vood frame construction ' = 1.0 for ordi.nary constraction 0.9 Eor hea�•y timber [ype buildin�s = 0.8 for noncombustible cor.struction / = 0.6 fer f;re-resistive construction Note : For types of construction and/or materials [hat do not fa�l wi[hin the categories given, use a coefficient reflecting the difference. Coefficients shall not be greater than 1.5 nor less than 0.6 and may be determined by interpolation. Such intexpolation sh.zll be hetween consecutive types of construction as lis[ed above. Defini- tions of �tppes of construction are included in the Anpendix. A = tha �otal floor azea (including all stor.ies, bu[ er.cluding Uasements) in the buildine being considered. For fire-resis[ive buildin�s consider the 6 largest �u:cessive floor areas if the vertical. openings are unprotectr_d; if the vertical openings are properly prot=cted, consider only the 3 largest suc- cessi�e floor areas. The firz flow as determined 'oy the above shall not exceed R,0�0 gpm for �✓ood frame construction 8,000 gpm for ordi.na_ry and hea.r� timber construction ! 6,000 grm for noncombustible cons[ruction - 6,000 gpm fcr fire-resistive construct'on except that for a norcvtl 1-s[ory buildin�; of any type of constzuction [he ':ire flok shall not exceed 5,000 gpm. The fire flow shall not be less tha�i 500 gpm� For 1-family and smal.l 2-1:amily dwellings not exceeding 2 stories i,� height see note 10. 2. The value obt:ained in No. 1 above may be reduced by up to 25X for occupancies having a low fire ha�ard or may be increased by up to 25X for occupancies ha�•ing a high � hazard. As a guidz for deteroining loa or high hazard occupancies see t:he lists i � the. Appendix.
