4. PREPARATION FOR WORK AND CHECKING THE TECHNICAL STATE OF THE WATER FIRE EXTINGUISHING UNIT

4.1. The water fire extinguishing installation consists of:

Water supply source (reservoir, reservoir, city water supply, etc.);
- fire pumps (designed for the intake and supply of water to pressure pipelines);
- suction pipelines (connecting the water source with fire pumps);
- pressure pipelines (from the pump to the control unit);
- distribution pipelines (laid within the protected premises);
- control units installed at the end of pressure pipelines;
- sprinklers.

In addition to the above, based on design solutions, the following may be included in the fire extinguishing installations scheme:

Water tank for filling fire pumps;
- pneumatic tank for maintaining constant pressure in the network of the fire extinguishing installation;
- a compressor for feeding the pneumatic tank with air;
- drain taps;
- check valves;
- dosage washers;
- pressure switch;
- manometers;
- vacuum gauges;
- level gauges for measuring the level in tanks and a pneumatic tank;
- other signaling, control and automation devices.

The schematic diagram of the water fire extinguishing installation is shown in the figure.

4.2. After the completion of the installation work, the suction, pressure and distribution pipelines must be flushed and subjected to hydraulic tests. The results of flushing and pressure testing must be documented in acts (Appendices 1 and 2).

If possible, the effectiveness of the fire extinguishing installation should be checked by organizing extinguishing an artificial fire source (Appendix 3).

4.3. When flushing pipelines, water should be supplied from their ends towards the control units (in order to prevent clogging of pipes with a smaller diameter) at a speed 15-20% higher than the speed of water in a fire (determined by calculation or recommendations of design organizations). Flushing should be continued until clean water is stable.

If it is impossible to flush individual sections of pipelines, they may be blown with dry, clean, compressed air or inert gas.

4.4. Hydraulic testing of pipelines must be carried out under a pressure equal to 1.25 working pressure (P), but not less than P + 0.3 MPa, for 10 minutes.

To disconnect the tested section from the rest of the network, it is necessary to install blind flanges or plugs. It is not allowed to use existing control units, repair valves, etc. for this purpose.

After 10 minutes of testing, the pressure should be gradually reduced to working pressure and a thorough inspection of all welded joints and adjacent areas should be performed.

The pipeline network is considered to have passed the hydraulic test if no signs of rupture, leaks and drops in welded joints and on the base metal, visible permanent deformations are found.

The pressure should be measured with two pressure gauges.

4.5. Flushing and hydraulic testing of pipelines should be carried out in conditions that exclude their freezing.

Backfilling of open trenches with pipelines exposed to severe frosts, or backfilling of such trenches with frozen soil, is prohibited.
