Fire water consumption for oil storage facilities and actual on-site sprinkling intensity
Thread Content
Regarding the amount of water required for fire fighting in the new design specifications for oil storage facilities, a new requirement of 120 L/s for mobile fire-fighting systems has been added. How can I conduct on-site tests to verify that the intensity of the fire sprinkler system and the amount of water used meet the specified requirements? Does the new regulation specify that the flow rate from fire hydrants should be at least 45 L/s? When I’m checking whether the spray intensity meets the requirements, do I need to turn on 4 nozzles and use two fire trucks as well, with spraying taking place simultaneously, in order to determine the actual conditions on site and see if they meet the standards? I don’t know how to test it
If I want to verify whether the design is reasonable, do I need to test all the data on-site? Should the flow rate of the foam mixture from the foam generator be calculated using the value indicated on the nameplate, or should it be determined by measuring it on-site?
