FIRE PUMP FLOW TEST REPORTS

                                                 FIRE PUMP FLOW TEST REPORTS Fire pumps are an essential component of many water-based fire protection systems. They are used in instances where a building’s demand pressure exceeds the pressure that can be provided by the water supply. NFPA 25 describes the different testing methods that can be utilized for this test. Three separate scenarios occur during the annual flow test:=No-flow (Churn): This represents the pump at minimum flow which should not exceed 140% of the rated pressure =100% rated flow: This represents the pump’s rated flow at its rated pressure=150% rated flow: This represents a pump’s flow at 65% of the rated pressure These flows are achieved by discharging specific amounts of water through the fire pump test header using approved testing devices that measure the flow and pressure coming from each test port.

Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguishers (CO2) According to NFPA

  Carbon Dioxide Agent: Carbon dioxide is a compressed gas agent and is commonly referred to as CO2, the agent is retained as a liquid at 800 to 900 psi at temperatures below 31°C, and is self-expelling. Matching Hazard to carbon dioxide extinguishers: Although rated for use on Class B and C fires, it is often effectively used on small Class A fires. How Carbon Dioxide Extinguishes Fire? Carbon dioxide prevents combustion by displacing the oxygen in the air surrounding a fire. Cooling the fuel, The rapid expansion and pressure reduction of the pressurized liquid carbon dioxide in the cylinder results in the cooling and refrigeration effect. Advantages: CO2 extinguishers don't leave a residue, a consideration that may be important in laboratories and in areas in which food is prepared or electronic equipment is present. Disadvantages CO2 extinguishers have a relatively short range because the agent is expelled in the form of a gas/snow cloud. CO2 extinguishers are affected by wind o

WHAT IS FIRE RATED GYPSUM DRYWALL?

Gypsum is approximately 21 percent by weight chemically combined water which greatly contributes to its effectiveness as a fire resistive barrier. When gypsum drywall is exposed to fire, the water is slowly released as steam, effectively retarding heat transmission. Fire rated gypsum drywall is more fire resistant because it contains glass fiber reinforcement and other additives within its specially formulated gypsum core to help it hold up longer to a fire exposure. Fire  rated drywall is referred to as “Type X” and must be third-party certified by an independent testing and listing agency such as UL (Underwriters Laboratories Inc.) and ULC (Underwriters’ Laboratories of Canada) to meet the fire performance requirements prescribed in the ASTM C1396 (CAN/CSA-A82.27) Standard Specification for Gypsum Board. Types of Fire Rated Gypsum: Type X fire rated gypsum drywall that is 5/8 -inch (15.9mm) thick and installed on each side of nominal 2-inch x 4-inch (38x89mm) wood

Fire Safety Engineering Related Question & Ans:

1) What are the types of pump sets used and why in fire fighting? Jockey pump – used when there is a pressure drop. Electric pump – Main pump starts instantly in case of fire and will cutoff. Diesel pump – used in case of power shut down & Stand by Pump. 2) What is fire alarm check valve? It allows flow in one direction and prevents backward flow and with this gives signal to BMS with alarms. 3) What is FM-200 and where is it used? Heptafloropropane is colorless, liquefied compressed gas. It is stored as a liquid and dispensed into the hazard as a colorless, eclectically non-conductive vapor that is clear and does not obscure vision. It is used in communication rooms, electrical rooms, computer rooms etc.. 4) Types of detectors? Smoke, Heat & Multi detectors etc... 5) Do we use strainers in fire pumps? Why? No, we don’t use it because the water coming is portable usually only in cases where we are using river or lake water then we require strainers. Else we prefe

Fire Fighting Systems and Equipment in Buildings

General Fire Fighting Equipment Fire fighting systems and equipment vary depending on the age, size, use and type of building construction. A building may contain some or all of the following features: fire extinguishers fire hose reels fire hydrant systems automatic sprinkler systems. Fire extinguishers Fire extinguishers are provided for a 'first attack' fire fighting measure, generally undertaken by the occupants of the building before the fire service arrives. It is important that occupants are familiar with which extinguisher type to use on which fire. Most fires start as a small fire and may be extinguished if the correct type and amount of extinguishing agent is applied whilst the fire is small and controllable. The principle fire extinguisher types currently available include: Extinguishing Agent     Principle Use Water wood and paper fires - not electrical Foam flammable liquid fires - not electrical Carbon dioxide electrical fires Dry Che
