Arlington Pre Action Fire Sprinklers

Arlington Fire Sprinkler Tests & Inspections

Single Interlock Pre Action Fire Sprinklers

Single interlock pre action fire sprinkler systems generally are activated by a heat detector, smoke detector, or fire alarm. The pre action system activates and fills the fire sprinkler pipes with water and sprays the water from the fire sprinkler heads. The desired effect is to essentially convert a dry pipe fire sprinkler system into a wet pipe fire sprinkler system. If any air pressure is lost in the pre action fire sprinkler system a trouble alarm generally alerts you of the issues.

Double Interlock Pre Action Fire Sprinkler Systems

Double interlock pre action fire sprinkler systems generally are activated by a heat detector, smoke detector, or fire alarm. The double interlock pre action system activates and fills the fire sprinkler pipes with water and sprays the water from the fire sprinkler heads. The desired effect is to essentially convert a dry pipe fire sprinkler system into a wet pipe fire sprinkler system. If any air pressure is lost in the pre action fire sprinkler system a trouble alarm generally alerts you of the issues. The main difference is that all fire sprinkler heads remain open similar to a deluge fire sprinkler system.

Arlington Fire Sprinkler Tests & Inspections

NFPA 13D has created a standard for the installation of fire sprinkler systems, detailing information for the combined dry pipe and pre action system. “1.1* Scope. 1.1.1 This standard shall cover the design, installation, and maintenance of automatic sprinkler systems for protection against the fire hazards in one- and two-family dwellings and manufactured homes. 1.1.2 This standard assumes that the sprinkler system is designed to protect against a fire originating from a single ignition location.”

Foam Fire Extinguishing Materials

· AFFF (aqueous film forming foam) used on A and B fires and for vapor suppression. The most common type in portable foam extinguishers, It contains fluoro ten sides [12] which can be accumulated in human body. The long-term effects of this on the human body and environment are unclear at this time.
· AR-AFFF (Alcohol-resistant aqueous film forming foams), used on fuel fires containing alcohol. Forms a membrane between the fuel and the foam preventing the alcohol from breaking down the foam blanket.
· FFFP (film forming fluoroprotein) contains naturally occurring proteins from animal by-products and synthetic film-forming agents to create a foam blanket that is more heat resistant than the strictly synthetic AFFF foams. FFFP works well on alcohol-based liquids and is used widely in motorsports.
· CAFS (compressed air foam system) Any APW style extinguisher that is charged with a foam solution and pressurized with compressed air. Generally used to extend a water supply in wildland operations. Used on class A fires and with very dry foam on class B for vapor suppression.
· Arctic Fire is a liquid fire extinguishing agent that emulsifies and cools heated materials more quickly than water or ordinary foam. It is used extensively in the steel industry. Effective on classes A, B, and D.
· FireAde, a foaming agent that emulsifies burning liquids and renders them non-flammable. It is able to cool heated material and surfaces similar to CAFS. Used on A and B (said to be effective on some class D hazards, although not recommended due to the fact that fireade still contains amounts of water which will react with some metal fires).

Included are the water supplies that are part of these systems, such as private fire service mains and appurtenances, fire pumps and water storage tanks, and valves that control system flow. The document also addresses impairment handling and reporting. This standard applies to fire protection systems that have been properly installed in accordance with generally accepted practices. Where a system has not been installed in accordance with generally accepted practices, the corrective action is beyond the scope of this standard. The corrective action to ensure that the system performs in a satisfactory manner shall be in accordance with the appropriate installation standard. 1.1.3 This standard shall not apply to sprinkler systems designed and installed in accordance with NFPA 13D, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in One- and Two-Family Dwellings and Manufactured Homes.

If you are required to install a fire sprinkler system in Arlington it might be a good idea to get a few estimates from fire sprinkler companies or fire sprinkler contractors that carry active licenses with the State and City of Arlington.

The design of your commercial fire protection system will be completed by a fire safety engineer or State licensed Arlington fire sprinkler contractor or fire sprinkler company. They evaluate the fire risks present, fire hazards and hazardous or flammable materials that are stored in your home, office or building. The design of your fire sprinkler system must meet or exceed the City of Arlington and any applicable Federal, State and Municipal fire codes, rules, health and regulations.

Before a fire sprinkler company or fire sprinkler contractor begins the design process, make sure that you are aware of any permits that must be applied for and obtained from the City of Arlington. Many fire sprinkler companies or fire sprinkler contractors will apply for permits, assist in all “Dots and Spot Inspections” and help to get permits signed off, through the installation of your fire sprinkler system.
