deluge sprinkler system
employing open sprinklers that are attached to a piping system that is
connected to a water supply through a valve that is opened by the operation
of a detection system
installed in the same areas as the sprinklers. WHEN IT OPENS, water flows into
the piping system and discharges from all sprinklers attached.
Early suppresion fast response sprinklers
fast response sprinkler that is listed for its capability to provide fire
suppression of specific high challenge fire hazards
extra large orifice sprinklers
= or > 1 inch less pressure to achieve a given discharge density
extended coverage sprinkler
400 max square feet discharge 20 foot by 20 foot spacing between sprinklers
,fire pump
a provider of liquid flow and pressure dedicated to fire protection. A fire
pump is a part of a fire sprinklers system water supply and can be powered by
electric, diesel or steam. connected to public water source or tank. provides
higher pressure to sprinkler system
Glass bulb sprinkler
operated by heat breaking a glass bulb filled with a non freezing liquid with
diameters that vary form 3 mm for quick response to 5 mm for standard
response
hose valve
valve to additional hose connection
hydraulic placard
sign attached to a hydraulically calculated sprinkler system indicating the design
density, required gallons per minute and pressure for the system to operate
properly
hydraulically calculated systems
method of sizing auto sprinkler piping using a prescribed amount of water to
be distributed over a specific area.
impairment coordinator
in charge of safety during out of service systems
,intermediate level sprinkler
sprinkler equipped with integral shields to protect the operating elemtn form
discharge from sprinklers installed at higher elevations
large orifice sprinkler
sprinkler head with orifice size equal or greater than 3/4 and less than 1 inch
listed device
A fire protection component that has been tested to perform under parameters
specified for its use by a nationally recognized testing agency. Underwriter's
Laboratory (UL) and Factory Mutual (FM) are the two most common.
Master Pressure Reducing Valve
A pressure reducing valve installed to regulate pressures in an entire fire
protection system and/or standpipe system zone.
Main Drain
The primary drain connection located on the system riser and also utilized as a
flow test connection.
Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC)
Corrosion caused by the presence of microbes in the water supply that over
time attack the interior of metallic piping and cause leaks, pitting, and
blockages.
, Old-Style/Conventional Sprinkler
A sprinkler that directs 40% to 60% of the water initially in a downward direction
and is designed to be installed with the deflector in either the upright or
pendent position.
Pendent Sprinkler
A sprinkler designed to be installed in such a way that the water stream is
directed downward against the deflector.
Pintle Screws
A visual indicating device required for sprinklers manufactured prior to 1999
identifying small orifice sprinklers and large orifice sprinklers where orifice size
is different than the nominal thread size of the sprinkler head.
Pipe Schedule Systems
A method of sizing piping based upon the number of sprinkler heads and the
occupancy of the protected area.
Preaction Sprinkler System
A sprinkler system employing automatic sprinklers that are attached to a
piping system that contains air that may or may not be under pressure, with a
supplemental detection system installed in the same areas as the sprinklers.
