  • Evaluation and Planning

    2022 NFPA 20, Stationary Fire Pumps — Evaluation and Planning Online Training

    Taking a methodical and informed approach to determining factors that could dictate the need for a stationary pump is a critical part of the installation process. In this module, you will learn how to identify different water supply options and account for the impact of elevation in system design. The module covers the many types of stationary pumps for fire protection and looks at the earliest considerations of planning your fire pump system design.

    Upon completion, you should be able to:

    • Explain the need to determine system demand
    • Analyze available water supplies
    • Determine the available power source and its usability
    • Acceptance testing
    • Select an appropriate fire pump based on the system demand and available water supply
  • Sizing and Performance

    2022 NFPA 20, Stationary Fire Pumps — Sizing and Performance Online Training

    Learn about the different fire pump ratings and key performance characteristics for centrifugal pumps. Sizing and Performance Online Training provides a detailed overview of why a certified pump curve is important and the three points used to create the curve. The module also covers the impeller characteristics associated with fire pumps, such as width, angle of vanes, number of vanes, and size of impeller eye, and how they impact the performance of the fire pump.

    Upon completion, you should be able to:

    • Determine sizing
    • Associate fire pump impeller characteristics with their effects on performance
    • Compare and contrast fire pump performance based on water supply type
  • Enclosures

    2022 NFPA 20, Stationary Fire Pumps — Enclosures Online Training

    Understanding the guidelines and special safety provisions for the construction and protection of fire pump enclosures such as pump rooms, buildings, and houses is a crucial competency for many professionals who use and enforce NFPA 20.
