Book excerpt: This well illustrated, step-by-step approach is a vital reference for every inspector and designer of fire protection, sprinkler, architectural or engineering systems. Hydraulic calculations for the most commonly-encountered water-based fire protection systems are covered in detail. Manual hydraulic calculations are thoroughly covered and a computer disk is included providing the reader with the opportunity to calculate a wide variety of systems. Factors of successful design such as quality assurance, coordination, and ethical practice are covered to provide a realistic perspective on professional application of the methods presented. The latest technology, including the design of high speed water spray systems and water mist systems, is presented to reinforce the advances in water-based fire protection systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addition to architects, engineers, and design professionals, fire fighters also need to understand fire protection systems in order to manage the fire scene and minimize risks to life and property. Fire Protection Systems, Second Edition provides a comprehensive overview of the various types of fire protection systems, their operational abilities and characteristics, and their applications within various types of structures. The new Second Edition meets the latest course objectives from the Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education’s (FESHE) Fire Protection Systems model curriculum and covers: • Water supply basics, including sources, distribution networks, piping, and hydrants. • Active fire protection systems and components, their operational characteristics, and installation, inspection, testing, and maintenance requirements. • Passive fire protection systems such as firewalls, fire separation assemblies, and fire dampers • Smoke control and management systems, gas-based suppression, access and egress control systems, and the code requirements for installation of these systems. Ensure that you are completely up-to-date on the latest fire protection systems and their operational characteristics and abilities with Fire Protection Systems, Second Edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important new manual goes beyond the published NFPA standards on installation of standpipe systems to include the rules in the International Building Code, municipal fire codes, the National Fire Code of Canada, and information on inspection, testing, and maintenance of standpipe systems. Also covered are the interactions between standpipe and sprinkler systems, since these important fire protection systems are so frequently installed together. Illustrated with design examples and practical applications to reinforce the learning experience, this is the go-to reference for engineers, architects, design technicians, building inspectors, fire inspectors, and anyone that inspects, tests or maintains fire protection systems. Fire marshals and plan review authorities that have the responsibility for reviewing and accepting plans and hydraulic calculations for standpipe systems are also an important audience, as are firefighters who actually use standpipe systems. As a member of the committees responsible for some of these documents, Isman also covers the rules of these standards and codes as they are written, but also provides valuable insight as to the intent behind the rules. A noted author and lecturer, Professor Isman was an engineer with the National Fire Sprinkler Association (NFSA), is an elected Fellow of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE), and currently Clinical Professor in the Department of Fire Protection Engineering at University of Maryland. /div
