  • Online- Fire Protection Hydraulics and Water Supply Analysis
    Length  CEU  Price
    16 Hours  1.6  $299

    Good fire protection requires an adequate water supply and the credibility of a fire protection specialist is tested when it becomes necessary to establish:

    • The quantity and pressure of water needed to provide adequate fire protection

    • The ability of existing water supply systems to provide fire protection in addition to domestic and industrial requirements.

    • The adequacy of a water supply in conjunction with a particular piping system to provide effective automatic sprinkler protection.

    • Alternatives for improving deficiencies.

    This course focuses on each of these points by applying the basics of fluid mechanics and the practical aspects of fire protection hydraulics. A solid foundation in fire protection hydraulics, with emphasis on testing and calculation procedures is provided by attending this course.
