S13 STANDPIPE TEST 2026- WELL REVISED
ASSESSMENT EXAM WITH PERFECTLY
ANSWERED QUESTIONS
Pressure Relief Valve - correct-answer -A valve designed for the purpose of
releasing excess air or water pressure from the Fire Protection Piping System.
Pressure relief valve is not a pressure reducing valve.
Pressure Tank - correct-answer -A tank using air pressure to supplying water for
water-based fire protection systems. Tank contents to be maintained at one third
air to two thirds water.
Service Test - correct-answer -Hydrostatic test conducted by users on all in-service
hose to determine suitability for continued service.
Standpipe, Multi-Zone - correct-answer -A standpipe system that is vertically
subdivided as required by the construction codes, including the Building Code,
into zones to limit the maximum operating pressure in the system. Each zone will
have its own individual automatic water supply.
,2
Standpipe System - correct-answer -An arrangement of piping, valves, hose
connections, and allied equipment installed in a building or structure, with the
hose connections located in such a manner that water can be discharged in
streams or spray.
Combination Standpipe and Sprinkler System - correct-answer -A system where
the fire protection piping services both outlets for fire department use and outlets
for automatic sprinklers.
Static Pressure - correct-answer -The measurement of system pressure under non
flow conditions
Strainer - correct-answer -A device capable of removing from the water all solids
of sufficient size that are obstructing water spray nozzles.
Supervisory signal - correct-answer -signal indicating the need for action in
connection with the supervision of guard tours, fire extinguishing systems or
equipment, fire alarm systems or the maintenance features of related systems.
, 3
Supervisory signal-initiating device - correct-answer -an initiating device, such as a
valve supervisory switch, water level indicator, or low-air pressure switch on a dry-
pipe system, that triggers a supervisory signal.
What is testing? - correct-answer -A procedure used to determine the status of a
system.
Water Hammer - correct-answer -The surge in pressure when a high-velocity flow
of water is abruptly shut off. The pressure exerted by the flowing water against a
closed system can be seven or more times that of the static pressure
Water Spray - correct-answer -Water in a form having a predetermined pattern,
particle size, velocity, and density discharge from specially designed nozzles or
devices.
Water Tank - correct-answer -A tank supplying water for water-based fire
protection systems.
Water Supply - correct-answer -A source of water that provides the flows and
pressures required by the water-based fire protection system.
