This new edition features the most up-to-date references on fire protection water supply demands, aligned to match the requirements of the latest codes and standards. The book retains its class-tested presentation of concepts and applications for students of fire protection engineering and fire science and its importance as single source reference for practicing engineers, design professionals, fire marshals, and insurance industry personnel working in the areas of water supply or sprinkler analysis and design. The authors cover the characteristics of water and the principles of hydrostatics and hydrokinetics and explain how to determine friction loss within water systems, test water supply systems, and prepare hydraulics calculations. The text also gives methods for testing and inspecting fire pump installations.
