In modern construction projects, fire safety systems have become increasingly important and widespread.
Currently, fire suppression systems are almost mandatory in factories, parking lots, shopping centers, and residential complexes. These systems allow for automatic intervention when a fire starts, either extinguishing it or slowing its spread. As a result, the risk of damage and loss is minimized.
The proper functioning of fire suppression systems depends on their installation, with the most critical component being the fire protection piping system.
Importance of Fire Pipes
Fire pipes are a key component of fire protection systems. The steel pipes used must meet the technical requirements necessary for the building. Key criteria include:
- Pipe diameter and wall thickness must be calculated to withstand system pressure.
- Leak-proof performance must be guaranteed.
- Pipe connections must be accurate. For threaded or plain-end pipes, ends must be straight and smooth.
- Internal pipe surface must be smooth and free of burrs or debris.
- Pipes can be black, galvanized, or painted (varnished), but coatings must be smooth and free of rust for corrosion resistance.
- Fire pipes must have international safety certifications, such as UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and FM (Factory Mutual).
