  • Non-electronic controls

  • Treating coatings

 

The sprinkler system is one of the most essential parts of any fire suppression system. The sprinkler system may have nozzle heads installed. If the system has not been in use for a while, then the nozzle heads get clogged.

 

A coating may develop on the head and will block the passage of the liquid. If this happens then the system may not function normally. This is why the coating material has to be inspected. All types of clogs on the coating have to be removed.

 

  • High objects to be checked

 

Many organizations may not have a proper storage area. They will usually place high objects underneath the sprinkler and fire suppression system. In case of emergency, the objects will act as obstructions. If this happens then the system may not function.

 

The passage of the sprinkler head will get obstructed by the high placed object. The team has to be assigned for checking these objects. On regular basis, the area has to be cleared of any obstructions. This is important so the hazards can be eliminated.

 

  • Water pressure

 

The nozzle will only be effective if the pressure generated is of optimal level, if the nozzle is blocked or if the water level is low then right pressure may not be generated at the nozzle head. If this happens then the fire suppression system may be ineffective.

 

This means that on regular basis the pressure has to be checked. The right set of tools is needed to check the pressure. You can hire the best flammable liquid storage design services UAE to get the water pressure checked regularly.
