S13 standpipe test Actual Questions and Answers
with complete Solutions | Updated 2024
Automatic Standpipe System - Answer A standpipe system that is attached to
a water supply capable of supplying the system demand at all times and that
requires no action other than opening a hose valve to provide water at hose
connections.
Auxiliary water supply - Answer supplementary source of water for a
standpipe and/or sprinkler system.
Control Valve - Answer A valve controlling flow to water-based fire protection
systems. Control valves do not include hose valves, inspector's test valves, drain
valves, trim valves for dry pipe, pre-action and deluge valves, check valves, or
relief valves.
Branch line - Answer A pipe system, generally in a horizontal plane,
connecting not more than
one hose connection with a standpipe.
Deficiency - Answer A condition in which the application of the component is
not within its designed limits or specifications.
Fire Hose Outlet and Release Rack - Answer A water supply control valve
intended to be operated by actuation of an automatic detection system that is
installed in the same area as the discharge devices. Each deluge valve is intended
to be capable of automatic and manual operation. Deluge systems are suitable for
hazardous occupancies. This includes buildings in which flammable liquids or
other hazardous materials are handled or stored.
Discharge Device - Answer A device designed to discharge water or foam-
water solution in a predetermined, fixed, or adjustable pattern. Examples include,
but are not limited to, sprinklers, spray nozzles, and hose nozzles.
, Dry Standpipe - Answer A standpipe system designed to have piping contain
water only when the system is being utilized (No automatic water supply.)
Dunnage - Answer Rooftop dunnage involves designing a raised series of
beams (usually steel) bearing on posts or bearing walls to support mechanical
equipment (usually on a roof
top).
Fire Department Connection - Answer A connection , normally on the exterior
of the building, through which the fire department can pump supplemental water
into the sprinkler system, standpipe, or other system furnishing water for fire
extinguishment to
supplement existing water supplies. (Formerly know as Siamese connection.)
Fire Hose - Answer A flexible conduit constructed with one or more
reinforcements (Jackets), with or without a coating or covering but with an
approved nonpermeable lining, or with an inner reinforcement between a
protective cover and an approved nonpermeable lining.
Fire Hydrant - Answer A valve connection on a water supply system having
one or more outlets and that is used to supply hose and fire department pumps
with water.
Fire Pump - Answer A pump that is a provider of liquid flow and pressure
dedicated to fire protection. A fire pump is a part of a fire standpipe system's
water supply and can be powered by electric, diesel or steam. The pump intake is
either connected to the public underground water supply piping or a static water
source (e.g., tank, reservoir, lake). The pump provides water flow at higher
pressure and volume to the standpipe system risers and hose standpipes.
Fold - Answer A transverse bend (fold) occurring where the hose is lengthwise
double over on itself, as on a pin rack.
Gallons per minute (GPM) - Answer typically used to measure fluid flow rate
(such as water) or pump capacity. Measurement of water flow rate for a pump or
a fire standpipe or sprinkler system.
