(Also see Part 2 of this training course Fire Sprinkler Design Approaches Continued (Part 2).) This webinar will lay the foundation of the design approaches permitted by ‘NFPA 13 Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems’. Based on Chapter 19, participants will learn the primary design approaches and when they apply. Optimizing fire sprinkler areas of coverage and minimization of water and/or pressure demand using area/density curves will be explained. This presentation will go through several examples including sloped ceilings, use of quick response sprinklers and adjustments for dry systems and double interlock preaction systems. Emphasis on the allowable modifications and their potential advantages and disadvantages will also be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
•Learn the applicability of the design approaches permitted by NFPA 13 Chapter 19.
•Apply the area/density curves with a focus on the minimization of water and/or pressure demand.
•Explain the impact of certain unsprinklered combustible concealed spaces on the design area.
•Understand allowable design modifications tied to selection of appropriate design densities.
