Elite Software offers over 30 programs for all kinds of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design applications. This monthly newsletter will announce new software, trade show events, and tips on using existing software. See previous newsletters here. 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 water delivered by 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. Sometimes a fire pump is needed to assist the city water pressure in order to obtain the necessary pressure and flow conditions. The Elite Software Fire program performs all necessary hydraulic calculations in accordance with NFPA 13 and for fire protection systems both with and without pump assistance. See more details on Fire here. NFPA 20 is the Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection and can be obtained from here. See the article here to learn how to size a fire pump, understand the differences between various types of fire pumps, and design the piping surrounding the fire pump. Adding and sizing a fire pump for use in the Elite Software Fire program requires following some guidelines as explained in the new Fire Pump video. There is also a Fire Basics video and a Fire Standpipe video to help you learn how to use the software. These videos are available on Elite's web site and also on the new Elite Software YouTube channel. If you have any questions, please feel free to call 800-648-9523 or 979-690-9420, or send email to info@elitesoft.com. Sincerely, Bill Smith
