Changes in elevation must always be taken into account in calculating a sprinkler system. All of us(?) have learned somewhere along the way that a cubic foot of water weighs 62.4 lb. (Actually, 62.4 is the weight of water at 52.72°F. It weighs slightly less at higher temperatures, slightly more at lower temperatures. 52.72°, however, is a reasonable temperature). If you think of a cubic foot as a cube one foot square and one foot high, it should be apparent that when you divide 62.4 by the number of square inches in a square foot, the result is the weight of a one-square-inch column of water one foot high, or the pressure, in pounds per square inch, exerted by one foot of water.
