The 2016 NFPA 13: Water Supplies and Design Approaches for Fire Sprinkler Systems Online Training is a building block of the CFPE Learning Path and CFI-I Learning Path—a series of web-based training that can help you plot a successful journey to advanced certification.
This course highlights water supplies and design approaches for automatic sprinkler systems.
NFPA 13: Water Supplies and Design Approaches for Fire Sprinkler Systems—based on the 2016 NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems—provides you with a greater understanding of the importance of water supplies in successful sprinkler system operation as well as water supply analysis. You'll learn about the different design approaches that are used to determine the water supplies required for sprinkler systems, as well as how to make adjustments to sprinkler areas of operation when certain conditions are present.
Upon completion you should be able to:
- Differentiate between types of water supplies.
- Understand and identify the steps for determining water supply demands used in hydraulic calculations.
- Calculate estimated water supply demands needed in sprinkler system designs.
- Understand and identify the common design approaches.
- Describe the density/area method for hydraulic calculations.
