Fire resistance tests provide valuable information about the performance of passive fire protection systems and help ensure that buildings and structures meet regulatory requirements for fire safety. 🔥 Additionally, the results obtained from these tests can be used to improve the design and implementation of fire protection measures in buildings and other facilities. 🏢 In the standard fire resistance test we measure the behaviour of the test specimen to its insulation, integrity and load bearing properties. The heat flux values are also measured as per various standards. Afiti Global Fire Testing Private Limited is one of the largest state of the art fire testing facility for testing vertical and horizontal products to its resistance to fire properties. 🔥 #firetesting #fireprevention #firesafety #firetesting #firedoors #firerated #passivefireprotectio #passivefire #firetesting #reactivepaints

A fire pump is a part of a fire sprinkler system’s water supply and powered by electric, diesel or steam. The pump provides water flow at a higher pressure to the sprinkler system risers and hose standpipes. The fire pump starts when the pressure in the fire sprinkler system drops below a threshold. The sprinkler system pressure drops significantly when one or more fire sprinklers are exposed to heat above their design temperature, and opens, releasing water. Alternately, other fire hoses reels or other firefighting connections are opened, causing a pressure drop in the fire fighting main. Fire pumps are needed when the local municipal water system cannot provide sufficient pressure to meet the hydraulic design requirements of the fire sprinkler system. This usually occurs if the building is very tall or in systems that require a relatively high terminal pressure at the fire sprinkler to provide a large volume of water. Fire pumps are also needed if the fire protection water supply is provided from a ground-level water storage tank. The main code that governs fire pump installations is the National Fire Protection Association’s NFPA 20 Standard for the Installation of Stationary Fire Pumps for Fire Protection. #fireprotection

"Boosting Fire Safety with the Right Centrifugal Pumps" As dealers of fire safety systems, we at Ocean Technologies understand the critical role that centrifugal pumps play in fire protection. In our latest installment of the Fire Series, we're shedding light on the different types of centrifugal pumps that can make all the difference in an emergency. Types of Centrifugal Pumps: 1. Horizontal Split-Case Pumps: Perfect for larger systems, these pumps provide high flow rates, ease of maintenance, and flexibility in design. 2. Vertical Split-Case Pumps: Suitable for high-pressure applications, these pumps offer reliable performance, minimal space requirements, and reduced vibration. 3. End-Suction Pumps: Ideal for small to medium-sized systems, these pumps offer high efficiency, compact designs, and easy installation. 4. Multistage Pumps: Designed for high-pressure and high-flow applications, these pumps provide increased efficiency and reliability through multiple stages of pumping. Key Considerations: - Flow rate and pressure requirements - System design and layout - Space constraints and installation challenges - Maintenance and upkeep needs Choosing the right pump for your fire safety system can be a daunting task. That's why our experts at Ocean Technologies are here to guide you every step of the way. Stay tuned for more valuable insights and expert tips on fire safety and protection! #FireSeries #OceanTechnologies #FireSafety #CentrifugalPumps #FireProtection #FirePrevention

A deluge system is a type of fire protection system used to protect large areas, high-hazard areas, or facilities with high fire risks. It consists of a network of open nozzles or sprinklers connected to a piping system that is filled with water or other firefighting agents. When a fire is detected, a deluge valve opens, allowing water to flow through all the nozzles simultaneously, rapidly soaking the area to control or extinguish the fire. Deluge systems are often used in environments where fires can spread quickly, such as in industrial facilities, power plants, or warehouses.

#Process_Safety #SIS #FireHazards #Extinguishing_system #ENGCB #SST #Deluge_system....... A #Deluge_system is a type of fire protection system designed to quickly release a large volume of water or another extinguishing agent over a specific area to control or extinguish a fire. Unlike traditional sprinkler systems, where individual sprinklers activate based on heat, a deluge system releases water through all open sprinklers or nozzles simultaneously when the system is triggered. 👉 Components of a Deluge System: 1- Deluge Valve: The heart of the system, it controls the flow of water and remains closed until the system is activated. 2- Open Sprinklers/Nozzles: Unlike standard sprinklers, these are open and ready to discharge water when the deluge valve is activated. 3- Detection System: Typically includes smoke, heat, or flame detectors that, when triggered, send a signal to open the deluge valve. 4- Water Supply: A dedicated water source, such as a fire pump or pressurized water tank, ensures immediate and adequate water supply. 👉 How It Works: 1- Activation: The detection system (e.g., heat or smoke detectors) senses a fire or other triggering event. 2- Valve Operation: The detection system sends a signal to the deluge valve, which opens to release water. 3- Water Discharge: Water is discharged through all open sprinklers or nozzles, flooding the area to suppress or control the fire. 👉 Applications: Deluge systems are commonly used in high-hazard areas where fire could spread rapidly, such as: ** Industrial Sites: Chemical plants, refineries, and other facilities with flammable materials. **Aircraft Hangars: To protect aircraft and equipment from fire damage. **Storage Tanks: Particularly for flammable liquids. **Power Plants: Protecting critical areas like transformers and turbine enclosures. 👉 Advantages: ** Rapid Response: Delivers a large amount of water quickly to prevent the fire from spreading. ** Comprehensive Coverage: All sprinklers or nozzles activate simultaneously, providing full coverage of the protected area.

What Is Passive Fire Stopping? Put simply passive fire stopping is the method of reinstating the fire-separating elements of a building such as the walls, floors, or doorways where they have been breached by linear construction gaps or penetrating items such as: - Pipes - Combustible Pipes - Cables - Ducts - Vents - Escape Corridors - Door Openings Tested and certified single manufacturer systems are used to reinstate the elements to stop or slow down the passage of fire, heat, smoke and toxic unseen gasses. This is carried out by offering a stable product to ensure the integrity of the element to achieve its fire performance. Containing a fire is the single most effective way to ensure people have those vital minutes to escape safely without fear of toxic smoke impeding their view and ability to breathe. Passive fire protection also gives you the means to gain vital time to sensibly put out the fire, stop the fire from breaking through into other areas, and give you the ability to reoccupy your building sooner.

Transformer Fire fighting system ( Water Mist ) #Transformers_Fire_System Water mist systems are fire suppression systems that use very small water droplets to extinguish or control fires. These droplets are effective at controlling fires while using less water and having smaller piping than a standard sprinkler system due to the increased cooling effects, oxygen displacement and pre-wetting that the droplet size and distribution provide. Some additional benefits of water mist fire protection systems include reduced water damage and low environmental impact, while one of the trade offs include higher system pressure. This blog will review some of the basics about these systems to help add these systems as an option in your fire protection design portfolio. The droplet size for water mist systems can vary between 1000 microns and 10 microns. This small droplet size decreases the required application rate, enhances evaporation, and helps reduce oxygen levels to extinguish visible and hidden fires. #NFPA
