Sometimes we are so concerned about the hydraulically remote area that we become complacent about the water supply.

The company is offering 18 classes in such subjects as ProPress, MegaPress and PureFlow PEX, as well as radiant, fire sprinkler and flushing systems training.

Understanding how the design of fire suppression systems relates to the SFPE recommended minimum technical core competencies for fire protection engineering.

ASSE 15000 Certification applies to field technicians who provide inspection, testing, and maintenance for water-based fire protection systems. Before we get too far into the requirements of the certification, it is important to understand where these requirements come from and why.

Automobile design has continuously been evolving since cars were invented, and now modern vehicles contain significantly more plastic.

Building performance during an emergency event is highly reliant on the accurate design and reliable operation of automatic sprinkler systems on of the account exceptions, reductions or omission of other design elements these systems permit.

When the water supply doesn’t have enough pressure, a fire pump can be an excellent solution to the problem, as long as the pump is sized correctly.

This month, Kevin Hall from the National Fire Sprinkler Association joined this column to help us better understand preaction systems, one type of fire sprinkler system. There are three types of preaction systems and understanding their differences can aid in making an informed decision on the kind of system to use in different scenarios.

Early suppression fast response (ESFR) sprinklers provide fire protection professionals a powerful tool, especially in preventing warehouse losses.
