Course content

2 sections • 23 lectures • 1h 6m total length

  • Background of fire industries3:32

    Trace the history of firefighting from ancient Rome's fire brigade and bucket brigades to private insurers' brigades, Benjamin Franklin's fire company, Molly Williams, and the shift to public departments.

  • Background of standpipe/hydrant system1:50
  • Component of standpipe system6:24
  • Pipe2:51

    Explore hydrant system basics, focusing on pipe networks delivering water. Learn how NFPA standards guide underground and above ground pipe materials, and how hydraulic calculations set standpipe diameter.

  • Pump1:31
  • Pressure gauge1:16
  • Control valve2:17
  • Alarm0:56

    Explain how a water flow alarm, installed between the water supply and the initial hose connection, signals during a fire and must emit 15 to 110 decibels above ambient noise.

  • Drain system1:11

    Maintain a drain system on water supply pipes to remove water trapped in the pipeline, and ensure testing uses designated openings rather than standpipe or hydrant connections.

  • Fire hose cabinet1:08
  • Fire hose2:12

    Explore two fire hose types, focusing on type A rubber lined hoses, their sizes, and pressure ratings of 3.43 MPa working and 5.2 MPa burst.

  • Hydrant valve1:33
  • Fire extinguisher2:25
  • Fire-man axe0:53

Requirements

  • Student must have basic knowledge of fluid mechanics

Description

Hello!

Welcome to this course!!

Being in the MEP industry, I found many of the personal do not have proper knowledge of the fire hydrant system and their constraints set by the international codes. Hence, I decided to share my knowledge through the course making on this particular topic covering all the important concepts on very minimal price. I used to update and add the courses every week for the learners convenience and understanding.

This course is designed in such a way that everyone can understand the concepts easily. I tried to give live example with the help of images to make it easy to understand. However, if you have any doubts, you can send me question in group chat, I will answer your question as soon as possible.

First section of the course contains basic information about the component of wet-riser system like hydrant valve , hose, pipes pumps etc. All the required specifications & operational procedures has been discussing in the lectures. Second section contains design concepts and suggested formulas by NFPA 14. 


I hope that you would have a lot of question in your mind before taking the course but I am sure that those all will be answered after completing the course.


Thanks & Regards

Kundan Kumar
