Horizontal Standpipes and Lateral Piping

5/22/2012 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM

Intermediate Level
Instructor: Kenneth E. Isman, P.E.

 

Horizontal standpipes are treated differently than lateral runs of pipe to standpipe outlets by NFPA 14. This seminar will cover the differences between these two situations for both layout considerations and hydraulic calculations. In addition, this presentation will cover the different protection rules for these different piping situations.

Acceptance Testing of Standpipes

6/5/2012 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM

Intermediate Level
Instructor: Karl Wiegand, E.I.T.

 

System acceptance tests are important for making sure that a newly installed system is working correctly and establishing a baseline of performance for all future system tests. This seminar will serve as a walk through for acceptance test requirements of NFPA 14.

Periodic Inspection, Testing & Maintenance of Standpipe Systems

6/19/2012 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM

Basic Level
Instructor: Bernie Arends

 

Standpipes are often neglected in the periodic inspection, testing, and maintenance of fire sprinkler systems. However, this key component is crucial to the firefighting tactics in multi-story structures and can dramatically impede efforts if the standpipe system is not functioning properly. This seminar will review the requirements of NFPA 25, Chapter 6, that deal with the upkeep for standpipe systems to operate effectively.
