NFPA 13 is the industry standard on all matters related to fire sprinkler systems in the USA, and the first version was published over a century ago, in 1896. You can read an overview about NFPA 13 here.

Fire protection system design is primarily concerned with creating a pipe network that will supply sufficient water flow over a given hazard area using sprinkler heads and hose stream flows. Matching the available water pressure with an optimal pipe and sprinkler head arrangement is the critical component in meeting the flow requirements. Hydraulic water flow calculations are needed to verify this goal.

Version 7 of the Elite Software Fire program for performing hydraulic calculations in accordance with NFPA 13 has been released for some time now, and many designers are already using it. Version 6 of Fire has been retired, and is no longer supported.  Version 6 users of Fire can upgrade to version 7 and regain full end user support of the software. See the upgrade prices for upgrading from Version 6 to Version 7 here.

Elite Software has three videos available for the Fire program to help you learn how to use the software. These are the Fire Basics video, the Fire Standpipe video, and the Fire Pump video. Elite Software offers over 80 videos on all of its software, and these can all be viewed on the Elite Software Youtube Channel.
