| This one-day program
is designed to concentrate on one portion only of the design phase of water
based fire protection systems, the hydraulics. This seminar discusses
theory and application of hydraulic calculations to prove the design of
the system will meet the water supply available as describe in NFPA 13.
This is an intermediate level class.
Overview – Provides the
attendees with the knowledge of the theory of hydraulics and how it is
applied when designing water based fire protection system.
Goals – Increase the
level of knowledge of the attendee in applying and/or reviewing calculations
for water based fire protection system.
