The lessons in this self-guided online training Fire Sprinkler Locations, System Design Approaches and Calculations -- based on the 2019 edition of NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems -- provide you with a greater knowledge of selecting and applying design approaches and calculations.
You'll learn about the basic requirements that apply to sprinkler systems, including how to locate sprinklers and the protection area limitations for different ceiling and construction configurations, such as exterior projections, cloud ceilings, and concealed spaces. These lessons also cover basic hydraulic principles such as remote areas, elevation pressures, equivalent lengths, and friction loss concerns.
Upon completion, you should be able to:
- Select and apply design approaches and calculations
- Describe factors affecting friction loss related to the Hazen–Williams formula
Who Will Benefit:
Anyone whose job involves designing, reviewing, evaluating, or installing water-based fire protection systems, including: designers, installers, engineers, electrical contractors, technicians, project managers, fire marshals, and architects
