API RP 2030 (4th Edition, 2014) provides guidelines for designing, installing, and maintaining fixed water spray systems for fire protection in petroleum and petrochemical facilities. It defines minimum application rates—typically 0.10 to 0.50 gpm/ft²—and outlines system design for cooling and protecting equipment from heat radiation. The standard is available for purchase or review through the API Publications Store and authorized technical document providers.
