the fire pump is intended to run if the fdas detects a fire. can this design work? the pipes will be totally empty no air or water inside. i think the designer design the system that way thats why it has no jockey pump.
Hi sir!
The system have a fire pump and the design of the standpipe is a dry type standpipe system (there is no water inside the pipe) it also have its own fire reserve. do i need to add jockey pump? or where do i need to add jockey pump if only standpipes will be the protection of the...
Hi folks,
Just want to confirm if i need a jockey pump when i only have to supply fire hose cabinets for a 4-storey office building. do i need jockey pump when i have automatic-wet or automatic-dry standpipes design? and what if i design a Semi-automatic dry type of standpipe? do i really need...
there is an existing fire protection system in the building with pumps and controls that serves the phase 1, phase 2 & phase 3 of the construction project using CPVC pipes. i believe that the designer of the fire protection system (which is not me) have calculated for for all the areas of the...
hi guys, can this one work? the contractor pass this drawing to me. we cannot find the designer of the existing fire protection where we are going to tap this few sprinkler. again cpvc pipes will be use. thanks...
thank you sir for all your replies, the existing fire protection system that the building has is using cpvc pipes. im only asking for the sizing of pipes if cpvc is going to be use, is there a table for Light hazard pipe schedules using cpvc pipes? just like table 8-5.2.2 in NFPA 13.
its an academic building, i have no knowledge on what considerations the original designer did. i just need to have additional sprinklers of the 10 new classrooms connected to the existing building.
Just a quick question, how can i size up cpvc pipes for sprinklers? is it same as sizing using B.I. pipes? thanks for your help. My situation is, there is already an existing fire pump for a building complex, im going to design sprinkler system for the 10 additional rooms i just need to tap my...
Good day, im a beginner in fire protection design. i know how to hand calc a simple branched fire protection system, i have a question regrading this new design that i was working on. For me its my first challenge as designer.You can look at the primary design that i have made (with architects...
im not really the designer of this fire protection system. its very difficult to continue a design, i already computed the requirement based on NFPA 14 i arrived @ 500gpm 100psi fire pump for the system. i consider 500gpm based on the minimum requirements of NFPA 14 for the standpipes to pass...
im think of using 1000gpm for the system. if you look at the drawing of it. and i think there is wrong with the design. and this buidling (basketball court) use only fire extinguisher?http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=c3ac834e-6a0c-4ec1-a5f3-9e978903aa60&file=PF.png
ohh thanks a lot, so my understanding i somehow right. ill check NFPA 14 again. but do you think i need to use 1250 gpm? i think of using 500gpm only .
For example i only have 6 FHC in a fireprotection system, how much gpm i need to supply them? what i understood in NFPA 14, 500gpm at the most remote standpipe (2 FHC operational) plus additional 250gpm per additional standpipes. (the system is looped by the way) that will give me 1500gpm? i...
