1.

Drawings- Plan, Elevation, Section

2. Schematic drawing
3. Pipes based on manufacturing - ERW- Electric Resistance Welding , Seamless
4. Schedule of Pipes – SCH5, SCH10, SCH20, SCH40, SCH80 pipes.
5. Pipes 5.8m = 1 unit pipe and 6m = 1 unit pipe
6. Pipe materials: Mild steel and Stainless Steel
7. Air release valve
8. FFL – Finished Floor Level, SSL – Structural Slab Level
9. RV- Room voids CV- Ceiling void or false ceiling, FV- Floor void or raised floor.
10. Terminology for pipe , NPS- Nominal Pipe Size in inches
NB – Nominal Bore in mm
DN- Diameter Nominal always in mm
50 NB – Does nt mean diameter 50mm.
2 NPS pipe – means 2”
11. Valves- Types of valves
12. End connection- flanged, grooved and threaded- threaded limitation upto 2”
13. Threaded connection- NPT and BSPT , male and female thread
NPT – National Pipe thread
BSPT- British Standard Pipe thread
1” NPT, 1” BSPT, 1 ½” NPT
14. Flanged connection – 2” ASME B16.5 / ASME B16.1 standard
15. Grooved connection – only in inches
16. Pressure conversion : unit in bar, also in psi- pounds per square inch
1 bar = 14.5 psi
17. Remember parameters of valve- End connection, Working pressure, MOC, and Size
18. Isolation valves:
OS & Y valve – Outside screw and Yoke Gate valve – Tamper switch
NRS – Non Rising Stem Gate valve
Butterfly valve – tamper switch
Ball valve- usually used for sizes less than 2”.
Globe valve

Check valve – Swing check valve

Pressure reducing valve
Pressure relief valve
Pressure switch and tamper switch
ITC- Inspector Test connection

19. Breeching inlet – 4 way (6” ) and 2 way (4”)

20. PN rating in bar, PN- Pressure Nominal PN16 16 bar.
 Pumps

1. 3 pumps, Electrical motor driven pump, Diesel engine driven pump and jockey pump.
2. End suction pump ( upto 500 GPM) and horizontal split case pump.
3. Denoted using (capacity/ discharge/ flow ) and pressure ( E.g. 1500 GPM @ 12 bar)
4. Gallons per minute – GPM

Firefighting system:

1. Fire Hose cabinet – 3 types : Class I, Class II, Class III

2. Class I : only landing valve
3. Class II : Only hose rack/ Hose reel
4. ClassIII : Hose rack/ hose reel and landing valve

Discussed later:

1. MOC of differerent equipment

2. Pressure reducing valve and also pressure relief valve
3. Test and drain valve
4.

Intelligent questions:

1. Pump capacity and pressure

2. Calculation .
3. Types of fire
4. More ant hose reel
