US regulatory requirements
Fire sprinkler application and installation guidelines,
and overall fire sprinkler system design guidelines, are provided by
the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 13, (NFPA) 13D, and (NFPA)
13R.
Open
orifice sprinklers are only used in water spray systems or deluge sprinklers
systems. They are identical to the automatic sprinkler on which
they are based, with the heat sensitive operating element removed.
Automatic
fire sprinklers utilizing frangible bulbs follow a standardized color coding
convention indicating their operating temperature. Activation
temperatures correspond to the type of hazard against which the sprinkler
system protects. Residential occupancies are provided with a special
type of fast response sprinkler with the unique goal of life safety.
Sprinkler systems
A fire sprinkler is the part of a fire sprinkler system
that discharges water when the effects of a fire have been detected, such
as when a predetermined temperature has been reached.
Fire sprinklers can be automatic or open orifice. Automatic fire sprinklers
operate at a predetermined temperature, utilizing a fusible element, a portion
of which melts, or a frangible glass bulb containing liquid which breaks,
allowing the plug in the orifice to be pushed out of the orifice by the
water pressure in the fire sprinkler piping, resulting in water flow from
the orifice.
