Join us for a webinar to learn about the importance of coordinating fire flow requirements for manual fire suppression and fire protection systems, several of the more common methods of computing required fire flow, and what NFPA 13 says about water supply design.
In this webinar, sprinkler designers, contractors and code officials will obtain clarification regarding the language of locally adopted fire codes compared to internationally recognized performance standards found in NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems.
Upon completion of this webinar, participants should be able to:
- Identify the difference between water demand for manual suppression and sprinkler fire protection systems.
- Identify three common methods for computing fire flow for manual suppression.
- Explain the role hose stream allowances play in sprinkler system water supply design.
