In fire protection engineering, the K-factor formula is used to calculate the discharge rate from a nozzle. Spray Nozzles can be fire sprinklers or water mist nozzles, hose reel nozzles, water monitors and deluge fire system nozzles. K-Factors calculated in Metric units; The flow rate of a nozzle is given by , where q is the flow rate in litres per minute ( l/min ), p is the pressure at the nozzle in Bar and K is the K-factor is given in units of . Care should be exercised not to intermix K-factors from Metric and Imperial/US units as the resulting factors are not equivalent or interchangeable.
