Read our latest engineering insights and software updates. We offer deep dives into hydraulic calculations, NFPA standards, and the future of fire protection engineering.
When a fire sprinkler designer receives architectural, reflected ceiling (RCP), and MEP drawings, step one is almost always cleaning up the background. Stripping away furniture layouts, hatch patterns, and interior elevations keeps the fire protection shop drawings crisp and readable.
In the Rack Storage – Ceiling-Only Option video, we discussed the NFPA 13 requirements for protecting storage using only ceiling sprinklers. A decision tree was introduced to help designers quickly identify the correct table in a few simple steps, speeding up the design process and reducing the like
