Elite Software Fire is Windows software for hydraulic calculations of automatic sprinkler and standpipe systems that follows NFPA 13 and 13R for residential and commercial projects. It handles systems with up to 1,000 sprinkler heads across trees, grids, loops, and hybrid networks, using English or metric units and including a Tree and Grid Pipe Network Builder. The program computes flow rates, velocities, and pressure drops, automatically sizes pipes, analyzes standpipe systems, supports fire pumps, and calculates fitting equivalent lengths for all pipe materials. Outputs include a water supply/demand graph and comprehensive NFPA‑style, high‑quality color presentation reports, supported by a printed 250‑page user manual.
