Description

If you are looking to be a professional firefighting system designer this is the perfect course for you, this course cover all basis of fire protection systems. discussing fire extinguishing agents along with design and calculation methods all according to NFPA in a simplified manner that will make it easier for you to follow with examples.

-CO2

-FM200

-FOAM

All discussed in this course

I also handled the sprinklers in such an easy way with their specification and basic calculations

This course also covers fire system types manual and automatic and how to choose between them and their limitations.

-Manual hose line

-FDC

-Stand-pipe

All discussed in this course

Fire pipes and their types are also addressed in the course. You will also find their coating specification and method of connection between pipes according to their sizes. Also fire pipe configurations and all basic calculation for the flow rate and pressure loss using NFPA tables explained with example

Last design step is fire pump. Calculating their GPM and pressure losses and their method of drive.

Electric motor, diesel engine and steam turbine are all discussed.

From all above and to the last step which is pump selection this course will give you all what you need to be a professional designer
