Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Fire pump field data Collection and analysis

Publication: Quincy : The Fire Protection Research Foundation, 2012Notes: Sumario: Fire pumps are relatively complex electro-mechanical devices that perform a vital emergency function on an infrequent basis. They are an integral and essential component of built-in fire protection systems, and to assure reliability they are tested periodically. However, the type and frequency of these tests is the subject of on-going debate that extends to the earliest days of the NFPA Technical Committee on Fire Pumps established in 1899. This study seeks to provide credible and statistically valid fire pump performance data that substantiates testing frequencies and protocols. The tasks of this project are being addressed in two parts: Part I focuses on clarifying the landscape of existing field data and establishing a sampling component for subsequent project tasks; and Part II establishes a framework and clarifies the details on how this data will ultimately be handled and used in a credible manner. The deliverables in this report address both parts of this overall projectMateria / lugar / evento: Seguridad contra incendios Sistemas de protección contra incendios Bombas de incendios Otros autores: Fire Protection Research Foundation
