This training is open to all fire sprinkler contractors only and AHJ's in Texas.

AGENDA:

                         7:30am - Doors Open
                         8:00 - 10:00 - NFPA 25 Roles and Responsibilities
                        10:00 - 12:00 - NFPA 25 Beyond the Annual Inspection
                        12:00 - 12:30 -  Lunch
                        12:30 - 4:30 - Hydraulic Calculations for Sprinkler Systems (Workshop)

Learning Objectives:
1. Define and describe the stakeholders referenced in NFPA 25
2. Locate and explain the roles and responsibilities for each stakeholder
3. Explain the characteristics and duties of the individual inspector
4. Identify the ways in which stakeholders interact to ensure the mission and
purpose of NFPA 25 is delivered
5. Discuss situations where the NFPA 25 standard is misunderstood or
misapplied such as: sprinkler testing; internal inspections; hydrant testing;
standpipe systems; hydrostatic testing of piping and fire department
connections.
6. Identify equipment and methods to address common problems found during
the inspection and testing of water-based fire protection systems.
7. Evaluate the application of automated inspection and testing and its impact
on the industry.
8. Identify occupancy classifications and minimum design criteria
9. Determine the available water supply and compare to system demands
10. Determine minimum starting flow and pressure.
11. Identify forms of pressure loss.
12. Apply the Hazen-Williams formula by changing variables (flow, roughness,
and pipe size) to improve system performance.
13. Apply hydraulic principals to balance flows and pressures at junction points

Registration includes training, lunch,  and CEU certificates (8 hours)  from AFSA
