Description
Created for Fitters. Join us for a course to learn about the required acceptance tests for fire sprinkler systems and the subtle changes to the requirements when applied to new systems/existing systems, aboveground/underground pipe, and systems filled with water vs. systems filled with air.
Objectives
Upon completion of this webinar, participants should be able to:
- Navigate NFPA 13 to determine the acceptance testing requirements for specific systems.
- Determine the appropriate pressures to hydrostatically test pipe.
- Understand allowable leakage rates for underground pipe.
- Identify additional tests required for underground and dry pipe systems.
