Engineering Utilities 2 Flashcards
A fire protection system that is ideal for areas where flammable gasses and liquids are handled where a fire will quickly cause a large change in the surrounding temperature.
Heat Detectors
It is a pipe installed in buildings not as part of the water supply or waste disposal system but primarily for use as water conveyor in case of fire.
Standpipe
A measure which can assist to some extent occupants in the fire zone but are particularly needed for others in adjacent areas or compartments.
Smoke Control
A technique whereby air is blown into spaces which are designed to be kept clear of smoke.
Pressurization
What are the 3 types of fire extinguisher?
- Dry Chemical Extinguisher
- Halon Extinguisher
- Carbon dioxide Extinguisher
What are the 4 types of fire protection system using water for firefighting?
- Dry Standpipe System
- Wet Standpipe System
- Wet Standpipe System with Siamese Connection
- Automatic/Sprinkler system
What are the 3 types of Sprinkler heads?
- Upright
- Pendent
- Sidewall
Reducing the possibility of accidental ignition of construction materials, as well as fittings and fixtures.
Fire Avoidance
Containing fire prone areas by means of fire resistive enclosures.
Fire Containment
It is a rapid oxidation process accompanied by the evolution of heat, light, flame and the emission of sound.
Fire
Cover a range of passive or active system which permit the occupants to move or be moved to a place of safety within or to the outside of a building.
Escape Provisions
A fire extinguisher are most effective on Class B and C fires.
Carbon Dioxide Extinguisher
A technique of restricting the movement of smoke by the provision of fire resisting elements.
Smoke Containment/Barrier
Reducing the possibility of accidental ignition of construction materials, as well as fittings and fixtures.
Fire Avoidance
It is the amount of material which is able to burn and release heat and smoke.
Fire Load
