System Reliability in Practice: Sprinkler Systems, ITM, and Corrosion

Thank you

This live web event has ended. Thank you for attending.

Description

There is an expectation from the public that installed fire protection systems, whether passive or active systems, will work should the need arise. This includes automatic sprinkler systems. Corrosion is a common issue that can cause these systems to fail.Studying corrosion through comparing common systems and components and the impact of NFPA 25 inspection, testing, and maintenance will help the industry understand what is best to specify for design and install.This webinar will provide an overview of an ongoing long-term corrosion experiment in addition to understanding the elements of corrosion and ITM that can impact the system reliability for fire sprinkler systems.
