The firewater Ringmain is a header network of pipes that transfers the water from the pumps to the fire.Continue Reading

Average Daily Demand (ADD) is the total volume of water delivered to the system over a year divided by 365 days.Continue Reading

Q = 29.84(cd)(d^2)*(sqrt(p)) 29.84 is a constant derived from physical laws relating to water velocity, pressure, and conversion factors. In short, this number keeps the answer in GPM. cd = the coefficient of discharge, which represents friction loss. d = the actual inside diameter of the hydrant orifice in inches. p = the pressure in...Continue Reading

Sprinkler demand, expressed in gpm, is the amount of water per unit time that is required for adequate sprinkler protection. Theoretically, sprinkler demand is equal to density (gpm/ft^2) multiplied by the demand area (ft^2).Continue Reading

A type of protection in which an enclosure can withstand the pressure developed during an internal explosion of an explosive mixture and that prevents the transmission of the explosion to the explosive atmosphere surrounding the enclosure and that operates at such an external temperature that a surrounding explosive gas or vapour will not be ignited...Continue Reading

Locations in which flammable gases or vapours may or may not be in sufficient quantities to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures.Continue Reading
