Cl. 1.1 - Scope
• This document establishes the minimum requirements for the
periodic inspection, testing, and maintenance of water-based fire
protection systems, including land-based and marine applications and
the actions to undertake when changes in occupancy, use, process,
materials, hazard, or water supply that potentially impact the
performance of the water-based system are planned or identified.

What is the Scope of NFPA 25
• Establishes MINIMUM requirements for ITM at set frequencies.
• Applies to only properly installed system in accordance with generally
accepted practice.
• NFPA 25 is not intended to address installation deficiencies
• Requires ITM of all water based fire protection systems regardless of
quality of the design and installation.
• NFPA 25 does not require any system modifications to bring an old system
up to present standards
• Not a design Evaluation
• Wear and Tear Driven
• MOC ( Management of Change-Occupancy) is Owner Driven

What is the INSPECTION..?
• A visual examination of a system or portion thereof to verify that it
appears to be in operating condition and is free of physical damage.

What is the Testing..?
• A procedure used to determine the operational status of a
component or system by conducting periodic physical checks, such as
waterflow tests, fire pump tests, alarm tests, and trip tests of dry
pipe, deluge, or preaction valves.
• These tests follow up on the original acceptance test at intervals
specified in the appropriate chapter of this standard.

What is the Maintenance..?
• In water-based fire protection systems, work performed to keep
equipment operable
• Does not include repair activities.

What is the Corrective Actions..?

SPRINKLER SYSTEM

What is a Sprinkler System

Summary of Type of Sprinkler Systems

Summary of Types of Sprinkler Systems

INSPECTION
• Sprinklers shall be inspected from the floor level annually.
• Visually inspected for
(1) Leakage
(2) Corrosion detrimental to sprinkler performance
(3) Physical damage
(4) Loss of fluid in the glass bulb heat-responsive element
(5) Loading detrimental to sprinkler performance
(6) Paint other than that applied by the sprinkler manufacturer

Min. Clearance to Storage
Storage shall be maintained 2 ft (0.61 m) or more from the ceiling in nonsprinklered

areas of buildings
This clearance is necessary to maintained non

sprinklered building so that fire department
can gain access for hose streams & stope
spread of fire.
Min 24 Inch must be maintained This 2 ft. clearance doesn’t apply for storage
(non-Spr Bldg) against wall !!!

Min. Clearance to Storage
• The clearance between the deflector and the top of storage shall be
18 in. (457 mm) or greater ( 36” or greater for special sprinkler & tire
storarge)
This clearance is applicable to SPRINKERED

building and where storage is not against wall.
Cl . 10.18.3.3. allows storage height to be

extended beyond the plane located at 18 inch
provided it is stored against wall and not
directly below the sprinkler head.

Spare Sprinklers
Stock of Spare Sprinklers
A supply of at least six spare sprinklers shall be maintained on the premises so that any
sprinklers that have operated or been damaged in any way can be promptly replaced.
The sprinklers shall be kept in a cabinet located where the temperature to which they are
subjected will at no time exceed 100°F (38°C).
The stock of spare sprinklers shall include all types and ratings installed and shall be as
follows:
(1) For protected facilities having under 300 sprinklers—no fewer than six sprinklers
(2) For protected facilities having 300 to 1000 sprinklers — no fewer than 12 sprinklers
(3) For protected facilities having over 1000 sprinklers — no fewer than 24 sprinklers

TESTING
• Where required by this section, sample sprinklers shall be submitted
to a recognized testing laboratory acceptable to the authority having
jurisdiction for field service testing.

TESTING – Plunge Test

• The sprinkler is inserted (or plunged) into a device known as a plunge
test apparatus where it is exposed to an airflow that has a controlled
velocity and temperature.
• The temperature in the device is considerably higher than the
operating temperature of the sprinkler
• The sprinkler is pressurized with 7 psi (0.5 bar) of air pressure
• The amount of time taken for the fusible element or glass bulb to
activate is measured. If the sprinkler fails to operate in the specified
amount of time, the sprinkler fails the test and all sprinklers
represented by the test sprinkler must be replaced
• A measurement is made of the time, in seconds, required to raise the
temperature of the heat responsive element to approximately 63% of
the temperature of the heated air stream.
• This measurement is called a “tau factor.”
• Multiplying this factor by the square root of the velocity provides the
number which is the RTI of the sprinkler
• RTI= τ*υ^1/2
• τ= tau factor
• υ= air velocity

STANDPIPE AND HOSE SYSTEM

What is a Standpipe & Hose System

Types of Standpipe
System – Class 1
Class I systems are used for full-scale fire

fighting and provide 2. in. (65 mm) hose
connections at designated locations for use by
the fire department. The most typical location
for these is within the stairwell of a building.

Types of Standpipe
System – Class 2
Class II systems are intended to be used

by trained personnel or the fire
department during initial response and
consist of 1. in. (40 mm) hose
connections, hose, nozzle, and hose rack
or reel at designated locations.

Types of Standpipe
System – Class 3
Class III systems are used for both full-scale fire

fighting and first-aid fire fighting. In order to
achieve this, the hose connections are typically
a 2. in. (65 mm) hose valve with a removable 2.
in. to 1. in. (65 to 40 mm) adapter or equipped
with both a 2. in. (65 mm) hose valve and a 1.
in. (40 mm) hose valve either with or without a
hose, nozzle, and hose rack or reel.

Hydraulic Design Information
Sign
A hydraulic information sign is required by
NFPA 14, Standard for the Installation of
Standpipe and Hose Systems, regardless of
whether the standpipe system piping is sized
by hydraulic calculations or pipe schedule. This
is not the case for sprinkler systems that are
designed in accordance with NFPA 13

Flow Testing – Every 5 Years
• A full flow test is required on every Class I and Class III standpipe
system at least once every five years.
• The test needs to be conducted at the standpipe system demand (500
gpm from the most remote standpipe and 250 for the next standpipes
until a maximum of 1000 gpm for sprinklered buildings or 1250 gpm
for unsprinklered buildings is achieved)
• The pass/fail criteria for this flow test are to achieve the system design
pressure while the waterflow demand is flowing through the system.

• While the pressure demand at the most remote outlet today is 100
psi in NFPA 14, this has not always been the case.
• Many standpipe systems are still in service that were designed for a
pressure of 65 psi at the most remote hose connection while the
system flow is moving through the system.

PRIVATE FIRE SERVICE MAINS

What is Private Fire Service Mains…?

Types of Fire Hydrants
Dry Hydrants Wet hydrants

People Generally get confused
between this Two
Wet Barrel
According to NFPA 1142 Standard on Water Supplies for
Suburban and Rural Fire Fighting:
Key Sentence
“Dry hydrant is an arrangement of pipe permanently connected to a
water source other than a piped, pressurized water supply system that
provides a ready means of water supply for fire-fighting purposes and
Dry Barrel
that utilizes the drafting (suction) capability of a fire department pump”
DRY FIRE HYDRANTS
In dry hydrant water has to be drawn from the supply
(lake, pond, reservoir, tank) by a fire pumper through a
pipe that is typically located underground
WET FIRE HYDRANTS
Private vs Public Fire Hydrants
Everything after street valve will be maintained by
Property owner Fire Hydrant
Public
Fire Line private
to building
Street Valve
8” Water mains
Why Underground Flow Test- 5 Years
Firefighters need to know how much water a hydrant will deliver. This
tells them how much fire can be extinguished using that particular
hydrant.
Knowing the capacity of a hydrant is just as important as knowing the
capacity of a pumper.
If the hydrant cannot supply enough water, the pump capacity does
not mean as much.

Office Planning Prior to Field Testing
Set up
 Decide which hydrant will be your pressure hydrant and which will be your flow hydrant(s). The
pressure hydrant will be used to measure static pressure and residual pressure.
 Decide how many flow hydrants to use. As a rule of thumb, you should flow enough hydrants at
the same time such that the residual pressure drops at least 25% from the static pressure.
@ Test Hydrant(Static/Pressure/Residual Hydrant) :

 Attach gauge cap to test hydrant tighten all other caps
 Open test Hydrant, Vent Air from hydrant body through valve on the gauge assembly. Close it when air is vented.
 Open the hydrant slowly and fully;
 Read and record the pressure. This is the Static Pressure.
Set up
 @ Flow Hydrant:
• Measure and record the inside diameter (ID) of the outlet nozzle from which the
flow is measured. The inside diameter (ID) measurement is taken to the nearest
1/16 in. (0.159 cm).
• Insert a hand into the nozzle opening and feel the entrance shoulder to determine
the nozzle coefficient (0.9 for a smooth rounded shoulder, 0.8 for a square
shoulder, and 0.7 for a nozzle that protrudes into the barrel).
• Install and arrange any hoses or diffusers necessary to minimize effect on traffic
or landscaping.
FIELD PROCEDURE FOR FLOW TESTS
1. Make provisions for minimizing interruptions to traffic and for adequate

drainage of water.
2. At this point it would be helpful to have one or more assistants and a
reliable method of communication such as two-way radios to perform an
efficient test.
3. Open each flow hydrant slowly and fully. Open one hydrant at a time to
avoid a pressure surge
4. Wait for the pressure at the pressure hydrant to stabilize, read and
record this pressure. This is the Residual Pressure. Then signal the
persons stationed at the flow hydrants to take Pitot readings. The
readings for residual pressure and the Pitot readings should be taken at
the same time for an accurate flow.
5. To take a Pitot reading, hold the Pitot gauge approximately ½ of the

diameter away from the nozzle in the center line of the nozzle. Read
and record this pressure. This is your Pitot or velocity pressure.
6. For an accurate reading, hold the Pitot tube in the center of the
nozzle, with the axis of the Pitot tube opening parallel to the direction
of flow. The Pitot tube should be held away from the end of the nozzle
at a distance of about half the nozzle diameter.
7. If sediment appears, continue to flow water until the main has been
flushed
8. Close each flow hydrant, one at a time, very slowly. Closing a
hydrant too fast will cause damage to the hydrant or to water mains.
9. For reasonably accurate test results, the pressure drop between the static
and the residual pressures should be at least 10 psi (70 kPa).
10. If the distribution system is strong (as it should be near a supply main)
and the pressure drop is less than 10 psi (70 kPa), an additional flow hydrant
should be added to the test.
11. Enough hydrants should be opened to drop the Static pressure by at least
10 psi (70 kPa); however, if more accurate results are required, the pressure
drop should being the Residual pressure as close as possible to 20 psi (138
kPa). The flow available at 20 psi (138 kPa) can be determined by dropping
the Residual pressure to exactly 20 psi (138 kPa) or can be determined at any
Residual pressure by graphical analysis, or by formula calculations.
Equations
Qr=29.83 X CdX D^2 X Sqrt(Pp) ----------------(Eqn.1)
Qf=Qr X ((Ps-20)/(Ps-Pr))^0.54 ----------------(Eqn.2)
where:
 Qr is the residual flow at the Pitot pressure measured in gpm
 cd is the friction loss coefficient (usually 0.9 for a smooth 2½” opening)
 D is the diameter of the opening in inches
 Pp is the Pitot pressure in psi
 Qf is the FIRE FLOW in gpm at 20 psi
 Ps is the static pressure in psi
 Pr is the residual pressure in psi
Example
You Perform a Hydrant Test and gain the following results:
1. Ps (Static pressure) = 140 psi

2. Pr (Residual pressure) = 125 psi
3. Pp (Pitot pressure) = 120 psi
4. cd = 0.9 because the inside of the nozzle was smooth.
5. D = 2.5 inches
Example
Calculate Qr (residual flow):
= 29.83 × 0.9 × (2.5)2 × square root of 125
= 29.83 × 0.9 × 6.25 × 11.18
= 1,876 gpm
Calculate Qf (fire flow):

= 1876 x ((140- 20)/(140- 125))^0.54
= 1876 x (8)^0.54 (raise 8 to the 0.54 power)
= 1,876 × 3.07375
= 5,766 gpm
Result
 Thatsystem has the capacity to flow 5,766

gallons per minute at 20 psi residual pressure.
Why…? Marking of Hydrants
The marking of hydrants is important for two reasons.
1. It immediately tells fire crews the number and capacity of the fire
main system they are hooking into.
2. It shows that the owner is complying with this program.
Historically, fire crews have trusted public hydrants above private ones,
because the City hydrants are on a routine maintenance schedule, and,
generally, the likelihood of running into problems is lessened.
Marking of Hydrants
Classification of Hydrants. Hydrants should be classified in accordance
with their rated capacities [at 20 psi (1.4 bar)residual pressure or other
designated value] as follows:
1. Class AA — Rated capacity of 1500 gpm (5700L/min) or greater
2. Class A — Rated capacity of 1000–1499 gpm (3800– 5699L/min)
3. Class B — Rated capacity of 500–999 gpm (1900–3799L/min)
4. Class C — Rated capacity of less than 500 gpm (1900 L/min)
Marking of Hydrants
The tops and nozzle caps should be painted with the following capacity-indicating
color scheme to provide simplicity and consistency with colors used in signal work
for safety, danger, and intermediate condition:
1. Class AA — Light blue
2. Class A — Green
3. Class B — Orange
4. Class C — Red
NFPA 291 recommends that only the bonnet and caps be color coded. The rest of
the barrel should be a different color
For rapid identification at night, it is recommended that the capacity colors be of
a reflective-type paint.
Marking of Hydrants
Why Hydrant Test - Annually
The purpose of completing a hydrant test is to exercise the hydrant
valves through the full range of operation, clear the hydrant of any
built-up debris, and to ensure proper operation of the barrel drainage
for dry barrel and wall hydrants.
Additionally, the test verifies operation, addresses repair issues, and
verifies reliability of the hydrant with a reasonable assurance that the
water supply is connected and available for use.
FIELD PROCEDURE FOR TEST
• Remove a hydrant cap from the hydrant. Ensure the nonflowing caps are
secured and tight.
• Open the hydrant fully and allow the flow to continue until all foreign
material has cleared, with a minimum flow period of 1 minute. Note that
the flow of fire hydrants supplied by a fire pump will result in the operation
of the fire pump.
• Slowly close the hydrant to avoid water hammer.
• Allow any fire pumps that might have automatically operated to run for 10
minutes, for an electric fire pump, or 30 minutes, for a diesel fire pump.
Follow this with a shutdown of the fire pump and restoration of automatic
operating condition.
FIELD PROCEDURE FOR TEST
• For dry barrel or wall hydrants, check the barrel for proper drainage,
noting the time required for full drainage.
• Dry barrel or wall hydrants that fail to drain within 60 minutes must
be pumped out.
• Replace the hydrant cap on the hydrant.

TESTING
Item : No Flow Testing- Diesel Fire Pump/Electric Fire Pump
Frequency : Weekly/Monthly ( or as established by approved RA)

TESTING – NO FLOW TEST
PUROPOSE : The purpose of completing a no-flow condition test of a
fire pump is to verify that the fire pump will start under automatic
conditions and run without overheating or developing unacceptable
operating conditions. In meeting this objective, a variety of normal
operating conditions are to be observed during the test.

NO FLOW TEST – Tools & Equipment's
Tool/Equipment Description Image for Representation
Tachometer A handheld tachometer is required to measure the
operating speed of the fire pump.
Wrenches/Spanners The various wrenches and tools necessary to facilitate

any required adjustments during the test are required.
Timer A timing device is needed to measure the fire pump run
time duration.
Notepad A form for recording test data is required.

NO FLOW TEST – Procedure
1. Automatic Start : Test Automatic Start by opening a test line to reduce
the system pressure.
2. Combustion Driver : Run the engine at rated speed at least for 30
minutes while the pump discharges water through the circulation relief
valve to an open drain. It takes at least 30 Min. to lubricate the engine
and see what problem develop, if any.
3. Electric Driver : Check operation of starting devices and allow the pump
to run at least for 10 Min.
4. Pressure Relief: Verify that relief valves operate properly. Usually this
means water should not be discharging through them. Relief valves are
designed to prevent pressure from exceeding system design pressure.

4. Water Flow: Check water flow to packing in the stuffing box. Slight
leakage usually means lubrication is adequate. Check the pump
temperature, feel the pump casing and bearing for overheating and
signs of excess friction.
5. Water Supplies: Overflow the suction and check them visually.
Check all valves in suction line.
6. Pump room Temperature: It should be min. 40 F(4C). For IC Engine
min recommended temperature is 70 F( 21C).
7. Diesel Engine : Make sure engine is clean, dry and smooth running.

ANNUAL FLOW TEST – Apparatus

ANNUAL FLOW TEST – Procedure
Step -01
Calculate the Expected Pitot Tube Pressure for 100 %, 150% and at
rated flow by algebraic Expression given by

Step -02
Connect All hoselines and Nozzles. Make sure that all nozzles are
securely fastened in place. All the hose valves should be closed, the
control valve in the pipe to the test header should be close.
Step -03
Close off indicating control valve that separate pump from Fire system.
This will allow testing of the pump without subjecting system to
possible water hammers.

Step -04
Connect ammeter and voltmeter to the test lead in controller or at any
other appropriate location.
Step -05
• If hand held revolution counter is used to measure pump speed, the
end plate of the motor should be removed to access motor shaft.
• Since the Motor and the pump will be rotating at the same speed
measutig motor speed will give pump speed.
• Proper attention to safety is critical with respect to any rotating
equipment. Loose fitting cloth or ties should not be used.

Step -6
• If the end of the shaft is not accessible a strobe type tachometer shall
be used. To establish speed of the pump using the tachometer, the
shaft may be marked with piece of chalk and strobe impulse will be
adjusted until rotating chalk mark is appeared to be standing still.
• The Pump speed can then be read from the tachometer dial.

Step -7
• With Everything ready pump can be started. Initially, the pump should be
operating against a closed system with no valves open and with no water flowing.
• This is churn or shut off phase.
• The Pump can be started manually or equipped to start automatically, by
bleeding off the water pressure.
• Once the Pump is operating both suction and discharge pressure can be read and
recorded, the rpm measured, voltage and current reading taken.
• While the Pump is operating at churn circulation relief valve should have opened
automatically and flowing a solid stream of water. If water is not flowing the relief
valve can be adjusted with crecent wrench until the water flows.

Step -8
• Open the control valve in line leading to test header and open the
hose valves for the first GPM measurement.
Step -9
• Sufficient lines must be opened and adjusted so that exact required
pitot pressure for 100% flow is read on the pitot gauge.
• When the first line is opened, the circulation relief valve should be
again checked. When the first line was opened, the relief valve should
have closed off. If it continuous to flow further adjustment is needed.

Step -10
• When all Reading are complete and recorded, the additional
hoselines are opened and adjusted to the exact required pitot
pressure for 150% of the rated flow. It will usually require flowing of
all hoselines to achieve 150% of rated flow

Final Step
• Data Collected during the test shall be used to construct performance

curve which are compared with manufacturer’s certified curve.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION
• None of the components should become hot to touch.
• Although mechanical seals are available but fiber packing is more
common seals are available, a fiber seal at both side of the shaft is to
seal the shaft.
• This fiber packing is water cooled and lubricated and some water will
drip from the shaft at both ends.
• If the packing gland is adjusted too tightly, it will prevent water from
cooling fiber packing and packing will heat up.
• It is often necessary to adjust it to achieve ONE DROP EVERY SECOND
is pass through packing.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION
• Another Consideration is the large volume of water that will be
discharged during test. A 1000 GPM pump operated for 1 hour can
discharge more than 60,000 gallon of water.
• Attention shall be given to where the water is flowing and draining.
• Care should be taken to avoid erosion or other property damage.
• It is better to discharge water back to the source to conserve water.

Q&A
If an existing system is found to contain installation deficiencies,
where in the standard does NFPA 25 require corrective action?
NFPA 25 is not intended to address installation deficiencies. In fact, Section 1.1

states "Where a system has not been installed in accordance with generally
accepted practices, the corrective action is beyond the scope of the standard"

Q&A
Are bags (paper or plastic), acceptable to protect sprinklers from
accumulation of dust or other potential contaminants?
• Bags are only permitted when sprinklers are protecting spray coating areas.
Plastic bags must have a minimum thickness of 0.003 in. (0.076 mm) or small
paper bags may be used. Sprinklers protecting areas other than spray coating
hazards are not permitted to have bags placed over the sprinklers.

Q&A
How many sprinklers must be removed from a system for testing?
• Section 5.3.1.2 requires that one percent (or no less than four) be removed and
submitted to a testing laboratory for evaluation. If a system contains 500
sprinklers.
• for example (400 upright and 100 pendent) then a total of eight sprinklers must
be removed; 400X.01=4 and 100X.01=1 (but not less than 4).

Q&A
Chapter five of NFPA 25 requires a weekly fire pump test to be
conducted without flowing water. Does this include the circulation
relief valve?
• No. The standard says "without flowing water" so no one flows water at
minimum, rated and peak flows each week as required for the annual flow test.
The circulation relief valve must flow water anytime the pump is running to
provide proper cooling of the pump. Without this small flow of water, the pump
will overheat resulting in damage to the pump shaft or other components.

Q&A
During the annual test of our fire pump it was noted that pump
performance was slightly less at peak flow, than the results obtained
during the original acceptance test. Is this a problem?
• This may not be a problem. First, you should verify that all valves on the suction
side of the pump and in the test header are open fully. Some decrease in
performance can be expected due to slight wear of the pump or its components,
this is normal. The annual test is intended to ensure that the pump is capable of
supplying the maximum system demand. The test results from the annual test are
not required to meet the original pump curve as in the original acceptance test.
