Having a clear understanding of the factors and considerations involved in selecting the appropriate size and characteristics of a fire pump is an essential skill set for engineers, designers, and a variety of other water-based systems professionals. The Sizing and Performance Online Training guides you through the process of identifying the right pump for a project based on requirements detailed in NFPA 20, Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection. From unit sizing to the effects of impeller characteristics and water supply types on performance, you get the skills you need to set the foundation for a properly functioning fire protection system.
Upon completion, you should be able to:
- Determine sizing (pump rating) using system demand
- Associate fire pump impeller characteristics with their effect on performance
- Compare and contrast fire pump performance based on water supply type
Who Will Benefit:
Water-based systems engineers, designers, plan reviewers, installers, maintenance personnel, inspectors, manufacturers, and insurers.
