Speakers
Description
This presentation focuses on the design and implementation of standpipe system zones in accordance with the NFPA 14 Standard for the Installation of Standpipes and Hose Systems. It provides detailed guidance on the necessary calculations for flow and pressure, explores the constraints and allowances within the standard, and discusses the practical considerations for ensuring system compliance and effectiveness. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the criteria and methodologies for designing standpipe systems that meet the latest industry standards and regulatory requirements.
At the completion of this presentation, you should be able to:
- Explain the fundamental requirements and constraints of the NFPA 14 standard as they pertain to standpipe system zones, including maximum pressure limits and required flow rates.
- Conduct precise calculations for determining the necessary flow rates and pressures within various parts of a standpipe system, ensuring compliance with NFPA 14 guidelines.
- Design standpipe systems that adhere to the specified pressures and flow requirements, including the implementation of pressure-regulating devices where necessary.
