Hydrostatic Test - ANSWER-A test of a closed piping system and its attached
appurtenances consisting of subjecting the piping to an increased internal
pressure for a specified period of duration to verify system integrity and leak
rates
Impairment - ANSWER-A condition where a FPS or unit or portion thereof is
out of order due to unplanned occurrence or is discovered during an inspection
and can cause the system to not function during a fire event
Emergency Impairment - ANSWER-A condition where the FPS is out of order
due to an occurrence or is found during ITM activities
Preplanned Impairment - ANSWER-A condition where the FPS is out of order
due to work planned in advance
, Inspection - ANSWER-A visual examination of a system or a portion thereof to
verify that it is in operating condition and free of damage
ITM Service - ANSWER-A service program provided by a qualified contractor
or owner's representative in which all components unique to the system are
inspected, tested, and maintained
Maintenance - ANSWER-In water-based FPS, work performed to keep systems
operable or to make repairs
Name six signs of a fire sprinkler that would require replacement - ANSWER-1.
Leakage
2. corrosion
3. Physical Damage
4. Loss of Fluid in glass bulb heat-responsive element
5. Loading
6. Painting- other than by fire sprinkler manufacturer
At what minimum interval should expsoed pipe, fittings and sprinkler heads be
visually inspected - ANSWER-Annually
From what position or level should fire sprinkler piping, fittings and sprinkler
heads be visually inspected - ANSWER-From the floor level
Dry pipe systems are allowed to be kept wet during non freezing weather under
what circumstances? - ANSWER-If the only option is to leave the system out of
service while waiting for repair parts.
