Fire Protection Piping Design

Fire Protection Piping Design

Fire Protection Piping Design

(OP)
What are the design guidelines or criteria in the design of Fire Protection Piping?

RE: Fire Protection Piping Design

You need to look at NFPA 13 for above gound piping and NFPA 11 for undergound piping.  If you are out buying NFPA books you may want NFPA 30 and NFPA 35 while you are at it.  They deal with flamable liquid handling.

Goodluck
