Comparing sprinkler demands to water supplies.(a)For Level 1 design certification, the applicant must: (i) Have. Combining fire pumps and water supplies A certificate application will not be processed without the fire protection sprinkler.Necessary water densities, pressures, etc.Determining availability of water supply.Well-known industry leaders teach many NFSA courses. Special situations including concealed spaces, vertical shafts, vertical openings end exterior projections Ranging in length from seven to 56 minutes, they cover topics that include: NFSA prides itself on being a premier resource for fire sprinkler training and education, with the most training opportunities available on the widest array of sprinkler-related subjects.Application of standard upright and pendent spray sprinklers, side wall sprinklers and extended coverage sprinklers.Review of system protection areas and limitations.Where each sprinkler can be used and why you would use it.Overview of spacing, location and position of sprinklers.Suitability of different types of sprinkler systems to a certain hazard classification.NFPA 13 classifications: light hazards, ordinary hazards, extra hazards, and storage hazards.Components: heads, valves, check valves, fire department connections, wall hydrants, cabinets, hoses and nozzles, switches, pipe fittings, hangers, drains, and test connections.Types: wet, dry, deluge, pre-action, and anti-freeze loop.Types of Sprinkler Systems and their Components Welcome, Introduction, Course Preview and Learning Outcomesīuilding Area/Building Height and Sprinkler Systems Overview Building and Fire Inspectors More Information Time: 9:30 AM - 1:15 PM Eastern Time.Sprinkler System Designers and Engineers Sprinkler system and fire alarm systems.Inspection and maintenance requirements.
We also provide inspection and maintenance plans to ensure the fire sprinkler is in perfect working order and offer excellent support throughout the process, while ensuring that all applicable insurance and code requirements are also met. The NFPA Certified Water-Based Systems Professional (CWBSP) was created in 2018 after discussions with leaders in the field of water-based systems design who indicated a strong desire for a credential that will assess and verify demonstration of the knowledge and expertise necessary to be a water-based systems designer.
This course is designed to provide participants with the tools needed to design, install and maintain sprinkler systems in accordance with building and fire codes. Tragic and costly fires and the requirements of building and fire codes are reasons designers, building owners and operators must be familiar with sprinkler systems. Understand the inspection and maintenance requirements of sprinkler systems.Develop system design criteria using hydraulic calculations.Select the most suitable type of system for your project.Use hazard classifications to design sprinkler systems.This course is held online over 5 days on the following schedule (All times in Eastern Time Zone):ĩ:30 am to 1:15 pm Eastern (Will include a 15 minute break daily)Īfter participating in this course, you will be able to: A level III senior technologist will ensure the scope of the fire protection system is fully compliant with local codes and ordinances, as well as effectively communicate to installation personnel plans and details necessary to install a complete and working fire protection system.Please note, This instructor-led course has specific dates and times: Local jurisdictions and federal agencies require that fire sprinkler systems are designed by a minimum level III certified fire sprinkler designer (or sprinkler planner), accredited by the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies. A properly installed and maintained automatic fire sprinkler system can save lives by dramatically reducing heat, flames, and smoke that is produced in a fire. While there has been an increase in the nation's Fire Death Rate, the good news is there is something that we can do about it. There were 1,319,500 reported fires with 14,670 injuries that totaled at least $23 billion in losses, and that statistic is 12.0% higher than 2008.
In 2017, there were 3,400 fire deaths in the US and surprisingly, that number is 9.6% higher than in 2008.
