maintenance by a licensed contractor, or by any specialized and approved technical body.

Types of extinguishers 2/1/3

Manual extinguishers are divided according to the type of extinguishing agent into the following main types:

Water extinguishers, 1/2/1/3

which are extinguishers in which water is used as a medium to extinguish fire, and they include the following types:

(a) Gas cylinder water extinguishers

It is a cylinder filled with water under normal pressure, inside which a cartridge containing carbon dioxide gas is

installed, and in the event of its operation, the head of the cartridge is pierced to release the compressed gas,

pushing the water strongly through the ejection nozzle.

(B) The stored pressure water extinguishers,

which is a cylinder filled with two-thirds of it with water, and the rest with air, or nitrogen gas at the required pressure.

When operating, the valve opens and the water comes out flowing by the pressure action of the stored gas, see (1-1/3)

Dry chemical powder extinguishers 3/1/2/4

are extinguishers in which dry chemical powder is used as a medium to extinguish fires, and there are two

types in terms of the method of operation:

(A) Extinguishers operated by

gas pressure, and the powder is pushed by the pressure of carbon dioxide gas kept in a small cylinder

(cartridge) under the required pressure.

(b) Extinguishers operated by stored pressure

Where the powder is pushed by air pressure or compressed nitrogen into the cylinder with the powder,

Q. (c) The amount of water must be sufficient for 1

(D) The required flow must be 2000 LD /L for each riser pipe, with an increment of 1000 LD /L regardless of the number of

rising tubes.

(e) In the event that another firefighting system is involved with the wet riser system, when calculating the amount of flow, the

need for both systems is taken into account, and when calculating the pressure, the network is designed on the basis of the

higher pressure of the two networks, provided that the other system is provided with means to reduce the pressure.

(f) The pressure required to be available in the water source is calculated on the basis that the minimum pressure at the

farthest outlet is 5.4 bar at a flow of 950 d/L, in addition to the pressure loss due to the effect of friction and the height difference.

The floors of the building can be divided into low pressure areas (g) in buildings whose height is more than 80 for the lower

floors, and high pressure areas for the upper floors, and each area must be fed by an independent main riser pipe , as in Figure

( 3/3-5).

(h) In buildings with a large floor area and divided into separate fire zones , each fire shall be fed

Design principles 6/4/3

The following factors are taken into account when designing the system:

The number of outlets estimated to operate at one time, and the distance between them, is determined according to the type of 3/4/6/1

hazard, according to ( 3/ 4-1) of the table.

The flow must not be less than 950 L/d for each of the outlets required according to Table ( 1/4-3). 3/4/6/2

The pressure required to be available in the water source is calculated on the basis that the minimum pressure at the 3/4/6/3

farthest outlet is not less than 5.4 bar at a flow of 1000 d/l with the addition of pressure losses as a result of friction in all

.
parts of the network from the water source to the farthest outlet.

3/4/6/4 ( a) The amount of water needed for the network is calculated according to Table ( 3/ 4-1 ) of the following equation:

x operating time Equation ( 1/3-4 ) the amount of water needed for the network = flow to one outlet x number of outlets

(b) The amount of water may be increased in case the project is far from the fire stations, according to the discretion of the entity
