FIRE PROTECTION PIPING SYSTEMS
Industrial and commercial companies around the
world rely on products to protect their properties
from loss to hazards, Over 150 years ago, the concept
‘of making praperty improvements and other loss-
prevention efiorts that could lower the insurance risk
and therefore insurance premiums was realized by
the formation of a collection of companies known as
Associated Factory Mutual Fire Insurance Companies, or
Factory Mutuals, for short. Today, that evolution has led
10 FM Global, a well-known mutual insurance company
whose cap ta, scientific research canabilty and
engineering expertise are dedicated solely to property
risk management. I's known internationally for ts
‘capacity and coverage with property insurance and loss-
prevention engineering, Fire protection sysiems are a
key effort in hazard protection for industrial plants, ang
Usually require that all components have Factory Mutual
aporoval
Most state and federal agencies, and now
international entities, follow the guidelines developed
by the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) for fre
pro:ection service and other loss-prevention systems.
Even power and process plants with piping that falls,
lnder ASME B31.1 or ASME 831 3 wil design the
firemater system using the guidelines of NFPA 24:
Stangard for the Installation of Private Fire Service
Mains and Their Appurtenances, Since the installation
is subject to the author'ty having jurisdiction (AH),
firewater piping is typically subject to the fre code
regulations with a Fire Marshall having Jurisdiction.
Chapter “0 of NFPA 24 i itled Underground iping,
and deals with guidelines for buried piping andis
where HOPE piping requirements are found, since
HOPE is not allowed for abave ground service by most
‘codes and standerds. NFPA does not Ist certify, test or
inspect products far compliance to its documents but
rather defers to outside organizations for listings end
certifications,
FM Approvals, a member of the FM Global Group,
offers third party certification to help ensure quality of
products and services. Components for fre protection
‘systems are tested to make sure that the products
meet performance, safety, and quality standards.
Factory Mutual (FM) labeled products provide proof
‘that components meet the requirements of a ‘re
protection system now and will continue to meet these
requirements in the event ofa fire. The FM APPROVED
marks backed by scientific research and testing and is
aningication that the product conforms to the highest
standards,

EPC EDITION | Q3 2018,ISCO Industries, Inc. has HOPE fitting manufacturing,
facilities, in Louisville, KY and Houston, TX that have been
inspected and approved by FM Approvals. Our facilities
are inspected on an on-going bass. Our facilties pass
‘scheduled and unscheduled audits to ensure there is
‘quality control in manufacturing to deliver a uniform and
reliable product.
In adaition to providing pipe and fittings, ISCO
Industries offers factory spooling of prefabricated
sections to reduce on-site installation time, along with
manpower and equioment costs. ISCO also offers
butt fusion machines for the joining of HDPE pipe and,
fittings. [rained and certified butt fusion technicians
are available for training and to assist contractors with
Joining of HDPE FM systems during plant construction,
MATERIAL AND MANUFACTURING
STANDARDS
ISCO Industries fabricates FM approved fittings from
HOPE pipe produced from resin with a minimum cell
classification of 445474C per ASTM 03350.
In order to use the FM diamond, products made in
‘our manufacturing facilities must pass Factory Mutual
product tests and maintain records of testing and
‘quality control activites. At ISCO, we take pride in the
fact that we produce and test products that meet or
‘exceed the requirements of Factory Mutual. Additionally,
ISCO uses fusion DataLoggers to record the parameters.
‘and details of fusion welds to fabricate fitings made in,
‘our shops, This provides constant quality monitoring,
‘and addtional traceabilty of welds
ISCO nas obtained ISO 9001-2015 for a Certified
Quality Management System along with ASME NA
‘and NPT stamps that allow fabrication and supply of
HOPE products in Safety Water applications at Nuclear
Products. This further attests to the level of quality
‘that ISCO has reached, even for the most erkical
applications.
SERVICE PRESSURE RATINGS
‘As temperature increases, the pressure rating for
HDPE pipe decreases, The ratings for CL 200, 251
‘and 335 pipe and ftings are based upon ambient
temperature operation. Additionally, HOPE has
tolerance to intermittent and recurring surge events
‘that should be considered when matching a pressure
class of piping to the design operating and upset
conditions ina piping system. Icis important to develop
‘a pressure/temperature matrix when considering
‘the Operating and Design Conditions for HOPE in tne
various systems, and ISCO can assist with this effort.
