The document outlines standards for fire protection facilities at petroleum depots, terminals, and pipeline installations in India. It discusses requirements for fire water systems, foam systems, control room protection, firefighting equipment, alarm systems, and organization of fire safety resources. The standards aim to minimize loss of life and property from fire through rapid containment and extinguishment. Requirements include fixed water spray and foam systems for large storage tanks, monitors and hydrants in hazardous areas, and clean agent systems for control rooms.
The State of the art in Fire Fighting 2013 V1Carsten Holbæk
The document summarizes the upgrade of the firefighting equipment on an oil terminal to meet new regulatory requirements. Key points:
- 11 tanks were equipped with permanently installed foam systems to allow storage of Class II and III flammable liquids. Other tanks near Class II tanks received irrigation systems.
- The system uses two existing diesel pumps and two new foam pumps. It provides foam coverage of tanks through permanently installed generators. Mobile equipment is also available for tank farm fires.
- Authorities approved the system in 2011. Requirements included foam capacity, contingency planning, and testing foam generators annually along with pumps and valves. All water/foam must be collected after testing.
This document provides a design basis report for a fire protection system. It includes specifications for hydrants, sprinklers, pumps, tanks, detectors, and extinguishers. It analyzes four cases of the system operating under different fire or sprinkler activation scenarios. The analysis shows the pumps can deliver sufficient flow and pressure to satisfy sprinkler and hydrant demands even under the most extreme conditions. Portable extinguishers and deluge systems are also specified for key areas to combat fires.
This document provides guidance on determining water storage capacity requirements for military facilities. It specifies that total storage capacity should be the greater of: 1) 50% of average daily domestic and industrial water needs to balance demands and provide a 1-day emergency supply, or 2) The required fireflow for the largest facility plus 50% of average domestic demand that cannot be reduced during a fire. The fireflow quantity must be maintained in storage at all times except following a fire, and the document provides other considerations for siting and types of storage facilities.
This document discusses enhancing water-based firefighting systems in tall buildings to address terrorism and arson attacks. It proposes installing additional water tanks and connections to portable pumps to ensure adequate water supply if fixed pumps fail. It also suggests integrating refuge floors into firefighting operations and considering impulse extinguishing devices as a supplemental technology, especially during critical water shortages from attacks. Firefighter response is analyzed, noting potential impacts on response time from a building's height, location, and internal conditions. Larger elevated water tanks are proposed for taller buildings to continuously supply sprinklers and hoses before portable pumps can operate, in the event of fixed pump failure.
This document provides installation, operation, and maintenance instructions for barometric condensers. It describes the two main types of condensers and their basic parts. Installation guidelines include inspecting for damage, providing sufficient clearance and supports, and properly orienting piping. Operation involves starting condensing fluid flow before other equipment, regulating flow, and properly shutting down. Troubleshooting focuses on condensing fluid, spray devices, the tailpipe, and vapor inlet. Maintenance is recommended annually and includes inspecting and cleaning strainers and spray devices. Contact information is provided for ordering spare parts.
The document discusses a new oxygen generation system installed at a PCK refinery wastewater treatment plant. The key points are:
1) The plant previously used surface aerators but now uses a new container station with three Aerzen Delta Hybrid rotary lobe compressors to inject oxygen into the bottom of an aeration basin via nozzles.
2) This new system is expected to provide more even oxygen distribution, reduce noise, odor and heat loss, and improve conditions for bacteria.
3) Initial experience with the new system will determine if one variable speed compressor or multiple compressors are needed to meet oxygen demands. The refinery plans to convert its other basins if this system proves effective.
This document provides information about wet riser systems used in high-rise buildings for firefighting. It describes the key components of a wet riser system, including landing valves, breeching inlets, wet riser pipes, pumps, and storage tanks.

This document provides manufacturing specifications for double wall vertical storage tanks made of cross-linked polyethylene. It describes the materials used, tank construction details, dimensions and tolerances, accessories, and optional features. The tanks are to be rotationally molded in one piece from cross-linked polyethylene resin with UV stabilizers. Wall thickness is uniform and calculated based on pressure and safety factors. Accessories include sidewall fittings, dome fittings, manways, vents, and optional ladders, heating/insulation, and seismic restraint systems.
This document discusses the design of plumbing systems for multi-storey buildings. It notes that buildings over 2-3 stories often require pressure booster systems to supply water due to inadequate water main pressure. It describes different types of pressure booster systems including pumping to roof tanks and using hydropneumatic tanks. It also discusses drainage system considerations such as venting drain stacks and using sewage pumps or vacuum drainage systems to handle waste from lower floors.
Sealed central heating systems require components to accommodate for water expansion as the water is heated. These components include an external expansion vessel, pressure relief valve, filling loop, and pressure gauge. The expansion vessel replaces the feed and expansion cistern of vented systems. It comprises a steel cylinder divided by a rubber diaphragm that allows water to compress the air in the vessel as it expands with heat. System boilers also accommodate expansion internally without additional components. Proper sizing of the expansion vessel is necessary using formulas considering system volume, fill pressure and temperature, operating pressure and temperature, and resulting expansion factor.
This document provides a design brief for the fire-fighting systems of a proposed office building project. It outlines the scope of the fire systems, applicable codes and standards, types of systems to be installed including a fire hydrant system, automatic sprinkler system, fire detection and alarm system, portable fire extinguishers, fire signage, and an emergency assembly point. It also includes details on water storage tanks, fire pumps, wet riser systems and a public address system.

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on 20 February
1989, after the draft finalized by the Fire Fighting Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil
Engineering Division Council.
The main intentions of provision of first-aid and in-built fire fighting arrangements are to extinguish
fire at its inception or to control its spread, to assist the fire services in dealing with the fire and in
reducing the losses suffered as a result of fire. Such arrangements are, therefore, supplementary to struc-
tural fire safety provisions laid down in relevant Indian Standards. The first-aid fire fighting arrange-
ments cover provision of portable fire extinguishers and first-aid hose reel installation with internal fire
hydrants. The selection, installation and maintenance of fire extinguishers are covered in IS 2190 : 1979
‘Code of practice for selection, installation and maintenance of portable first-aid fire extinguishers
( second revision )‘. This standard covers requirements in respect of installation and maintenance of
internal fire hydrants and hose reel systems with or without sprinkler installation for different types
of buildings. InternaI fire hydrants are intended for use by fire brigade or other trained personnel and
provide means of delivering considerable quantities of water to extinguish or to prevent the spread of
fire. Hose reels delivering smaller quantities of water can be operated even by untrained persons and
can be more rapidly brought into action in the early stages of fire. This system is more effective when
the premises is provided with an early warning device of any outbreak of fire.
This standard covering wet- and dry-riser system was first published in 1966. The revision cover
generally only wet-riser system and the provisions given are in line with the ones followed in advanced
countries. The revision also covers the details of water tanks, fire pumps and other components as well
as maintenance of system.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the
final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )‘. The number of
significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value m
this standard.

priate thickness 1.
Where diesel pump is provided, it should have a
. ,
separate panel, also located in the same pump
room or adjoining separate room. The panel
should have its separate battery, with battery
charging device, and auto-manual changeover
arrangement. It should incorporate an interlock-
ing device with the main pump panel so that
both the electric pump and the diesel pump do
not operate simultaneously.
Air vessel of adequate capacity should be installed
in the pump house, with pressure switches incor-
porated on the delivery line. There should be
two pressure switches - one with upper and lower
limit, for Jockey pump, and another only for
lower pressure limit for the main pump. Stopping
of main pump should be only by manual push
button which should be prominently indicated on
the pump panel.
Similar lower pressure limit switch should also
be incorporated in the diesel pump to make the
start automatically at pre-set drop in pressure.

with pressure switch incorporated in down-comer
side so that with opening of. any hydrant valve,
or hose reel on any *floor, it will start
automatically with fall in line pressure. In addi-
tion, there should be a manual push button
starter in the starter control panel to be located
on ground floor ( floor one ) of building. Stopping
of pump should be by a push button located in
the same starter control. Both the push buttons
should be prominently indicated, and should be in
different colour for easy identification.

Where a manifold is used to make a common
suction headed, the size of manifold should be at
least equal to the cross section of the main pumps
( not counting stand-by pump ) suction inlets.
4.2.4 Priming of pumps in all cases should!
preferably be by positive suction. This can be
3
6. ls 3844 : 1989
achieved by having the pump house at Iower level
than the water tank, so as to have a permanently
flooded suction. However, where this is not
practicable, priming with the help of a priming
tank with a foot valve and strainer arrangement
may be used. The capacity of priming tank
should be 8 times the total volume of the suction
pipe, from pump up to the foot valve.
4.2.5 For wet-riser-cum-down-comer system, two
pumps of different capacity - one for the wet-
riser ( for static tank ) and the other for down-
comer system ( for terrace tank ) should be install-
ed. The pumps should be fed from normal source
of power supply and also by an alternative source
in case of failure of normal source of supply.
4.2.6 For a wet-riser system two automatic
pumps should be installed to feed the wet-rising
main, one of which should act as stand-by, each
pump should have different source of power and
so arranged that when acting as duty pump, it
will operate automatically when one or more
hydrant/hose reel is opened thus causing a drop
in pressure. The stand-by pump should be
arranged to operate automatically in case of
failure of the duty pump. There should be an
interlocking arrangement between two main
pumps so that only one should come into opera-
tion at a time.
4.2.7 An arrangement for supply of alternative
source of power automatically should be provided
to drive pumps, etc, in case of failure of normal
power supply. The alternative source should be
one of the following:
a) Supply from a diesel generating set of
adequate capacity to meet full requirement
of fire pump(s) including initial current
for direct on line/star-delta starting device
over and above the other requirements
like automatic fire detection and alarm
system, fire lift, staircase and corridor
Jighting circuits, fire pumps, pressurization
system and mechanical exhaust system. etc,
with automatic changeover. Fire pump
may be connected to diesel engine having
same power as, that of electric fire pump
with automatic changeover in case of
power supply failure with interlocking
. arrangement. ’
b) A power supply from separate. sub-station
for operating emergency services mentioned
in 4.2.7(a).
4.2.8 Pump Mounting
The pumps should be mounted firmly on concrete
foundation of minimum 75 mm thickness with
vibration absorbing layer. The foundation
should be at least equal in Iength to the common
base plate of pump, motor and flexible coupling
between pump and motor.
For diesel engines and pumps the foundation
should be equivalent to railing length of engine
and pump with flexible couplings.
All fire pumps should be. horizontal split-casting
centrifugal type with C. I. casing, bronze impellar,
and stainless steel shaft mounted on heavy
duty bearings. All metal parts coming in constant
contact with water should be suitably treated
with anti-corrosive treatment, unless these are of
non-ferrous metal.

17. IS 3844: 1989
.5.7 The rising mains/down-comer mains should
.be of galvanized iron pipes conforming to medium
class of IS 1239 ( Part 1 ) : 1979 and their fit-
tings should be according to IS 1239 ( Part 2 ) :
1982.
5.8 The position of risers should be located within
lobby approach staircase or within, the staircase
enclosure when there is no lobby. However, the
risers or the landing valves connected to the risers
should not obstruct the means of escape, neither
reduce the width of the passage of staircase in any
way.
5.9 Landing valves should be installed on each
floor level and on the roof, if accessible, in such
a way that control line of landing valve is 1 to
1’2 m above the floor level. In the event of pump
pressure being excessive at the lower floor levels
in tall buildings a reducer should be provided in
the landing valves to Iimit operating pressure to
55 kg/cm? ( 0’5 N/mm2 ). The hoses, nozzles
and branch pipes should be kept adjacent to the
landing valves in wall boxes or in recesses.
5.10 In buildings with basements, the internal
hydrants as well as the hose reel installations
should be extended to cover the basement area
also, over and above sprinkler system, as
necessary. .
5.11A minimum of two hydrants connected to
internal hydrant system should be provided within
the courtyard of the buildings. These should
preferably be sited ‘adjacent to the roads along the
compound wall and facilities provided for fire
brigade appliances.
5.12. Fire hoses should be of sufficient length to,
carry water from the nearest source of water
supply to the. most distant point in the area
covered by a hydrant, by the normal route of
travel. For each internal hydrant ( single headed ),
there should be a total length of not less than.
30 m of 63 mm conforming to Type A of
IS 636 : 1988 or provided in two lengths of not
more than 15 m each wire wound with coupling
together with branch pipe conforming to
IS 2871 : 1983. Spare hose pipes, landing valves
lugs, valves wheel, etc. Minimum of 10 percent of
e&h item should always be kept in stock readily
available. Such spare hoses also should be in length
of not more than 15 m complete with coupling.
Hoses and accessories should be kept in hose cabi-
net painted fire red ( see IS 5 : 1978 ) and construct-
ed preferably of wood with glass front. Wall boxes
constructed of cast iron or sheet iron should be
painted at regular intervals to obviate rusting and
consequent damage to hose. A set of spare rubber
washers packed in French chalk for the purpose
of preservation should be kept readily available.
5.13 To avoid pilferage, components like landing
valves, hose couplings, branch pipes, lugs, etc,
made of aluminium alloy are recommended
depending on weather conditions.
5.14 Unless impracticable by structural considera-
tions., the landing valves should always be housed
in hose boxes. Such hose boxes shauld be made
of MS plates of 2 mm minimum thickness with
glass front. The size of the box should be adequate
to accommodate single/double headed landing
valves with 2 or 4 lengths of fire hose each of 15 m
length, and one or two branch pipes. The hose
reel may or may not be accommodated inside the
hose box. If the hose box isalso to accommodate
the hose reel, it should be of adequate dimensions.
For single headed landing valve, the front opening
glass door may be of single leaf, but for double
landing valve, double leaf doors are recommended.
The location of the riser main, along the landing
valves and hose reel, etc, should be such as to leave
enough clearance on both sides and also below
the landing valve, for smooth operations. The
landing valves should be so fitted to the riser
main, that when the fire hose is connected to it,
and charged with water under pressure, it will not
form any kin& Consideration should alsp be
given to allow adequate. spaces ,around the valve
to permit maintenance and testing.
5.14.1 For such buildings where narrow space does
not permit fixing of hose boxes, the fire hoses,
and hose reel could be fixed in suitable niches
through which the riser main has been taken up.
In such cases only a glass facing fixed on a frame
of angle iron may be used. However, these may
be used only for residential apartments,
5.15 Building fitted with wet-riser/wet-riser-a%
down-comer mains should, have access roads to’
within 6 m from the boundary line of the building
and the nearest wet-riser stack should not be
more than I5 m from the boundary line of the
building.
6 HOSE REELS
6.1 In addition to wet-riser systems, first aid hose
reels should be installed on all floors of buildings
above 15 m in height. The hose reel should be
directly taken from the wet-riser pipe by means of
a 37 mm socket and pipe to which the hose reel is
to be attached. When taken from the landing valve,
it should be connected to one of the female coupl- *
ings of the double outlet landing valves of the wet-
riser installation by means of an adapter. The hose
reel should conform to Type A of IS 884 : 1985.
6.2 The hose reel should be sited at each floor
level, staircase, lobby or mid-landing adjacent to,
exits in corridors in such a way that the nozzle of
the hose can be taken into every room and within
12
18. Is3844: 1989
6 m ofany part of a room keeping in view the
layout and obstructions. Tbe doors provided
for the hose reel recesses should he capable of
opening to approximately 180”. when installation
is in open areas, the position should be above
head height and the nozzle retainer and tbe inlet
valve should be at about 900 mm above floor
level.
6.3 It is essential that the hose reels remain
unobstructed and that they should be available
for use at all times.
6.4 In buildings that have large open floor areas
such as warehouses, the stacking arrangement
should provide for unobstructed access to the
hose reel. It may also be considered necessary to
provide guard rails around tbe hose reel position
to prevent stacking adjacent to it, care being taken
that tbe guard rails do not obstruct the operation
of the hose.
6.5 Tbe length of hose reels should be such that no
part of the floor ‘so protected is more than 6 m
away from the nozzle when the hose reel is fully
extended.
6.6 The hose reels should preferably be installed
in recesses so that they do not form obstructions
on a route of escape.
6.7 Hose reel brackets should be firmly fixed to
the wall.
7 WATER SUPPLES AND PUMPING
ARRANGEMENTS
7.1 For wet-riser mains and hose reels it is
essential that pressures and flows should at all
times be adequate to serve the designed number
of jets likely to be used. This is irrespective of
the source of water supply.
7.2 For wet-risersdown-comer system, two
pumps of different capacities ( see Table 1 ) one
for the wet-riser and the other for down-comer
system should be installed. The pumps should
be fed from normal source of power supply and
also by an alternative source in case of failure of
normal source.
7.3 For a wet-riser system, two automatic pumps
should be installed to independently feed the wet-
riser main, one of which should act as stand-by,
each pump being supplied by a different source of
power. Tbe pump shall be arranged so that when
acting as duty-pump, operate automatically when
oae or more hydrant is opened thus causing a drop
in pressure. The stand-by pump should be arranged
to operate automatically in case of failure of the
duty pump. The system should have an interlock-
ing arrangement so that only one of the pumps
operate at a time.
7.4 Priming of the main DumDand terrace bumD
in case of wet-riser-cum-dbw&omer, or boih th;:
pumps in case of wet-riser installation, should
be automatic. This can be achieved either by
having flooded suction, or by a priming tank with
foot valve arrangement. However, a flooded
suction is preferable.
7.!5Arrangements for draining a wet-riser main
should be incorporated to enable any necessary
repairs to be carried out.
7.6 To allow any trapped air in the rising main
to escape when water is pressurized into system,
air release valve should be incorporated above
tbe highest outlet of each main.
7.7 To reduce the risk of hose bursting, arrange-
ments should be made so that when tbe water is
shut off at the nozzle the static pressure in any
line of hose connected to a landing valve does
not exceed 700 kPa ( 7 kgf/cm’ ).
7.8 To reduce excess pressure at ground floor or
lower floors [ in excess of 400 kPa ( 4 kgf/cm%)
suitable arrangement ( orifice flange or other
measure ) ] should be ixicorporated in the landing
valves.
7.9 For external hydrants, piping ( water main )
should be laid preferably underground, to avoid it
getting damaged by moving vehicles, etc. To avoid
rusting, underground pipes should be either of
cast iron conforming to IS 1536: 1976or MS/G1
[ conforming to IS 1239( Part 1) : 19791,in which
case it should be properly treated with a coat of
primary paint with two coats of bitumen paint.
The pipes should be properly supported OD
pedestals - not more than 3 m apart. Under-
ground pipes should be laid 1 m below to avoid!
damage during road repair, etc, and at road
crossings where heavy vehicles are expected to
pass, it should pass through RCC pipe for addi-
tional protection.
7.10 Air Vessel
To take care of small leakages in the system, an air
vessel of appropriate size should be installed and
connected to the wet-riser main.
7.11 Jockey Pump
For bigger buildings or major installations, where
chance of such leakage is very considerable, it is
desirable to install a small pump ( using a small
motor and 200/300 l/min pump ) with pressure
switches for automatic start and stop.
7.12 Using Wet-Riser System Pump for Partial
Sprinkler System
In main high rise buildings, the basement is used
for car parking/housing transformers/or storages
and other floors may be used as shopping areas,
16
19. departmental stores, etc, the total area used for
such purpose being small, in such cases, the same
wet-riser pump may be used for feeding the
sprinkler system provided that:
a)
b)
4
4
the total area of the basement to be pro-
tected is less than 500 m2.
the total area utilized as shops depart-
mental stores is less than 1 000 m”.
the pump has a capacity of at least 2 850
l/min with suitable motor.
a separate stand-by pump of equal capacity
is installed, either diesel driven, or by a
generator of appropriate capacity - as
indicated in 4.2.1.
8 INITIAL TESTING
8.1 The system should be tested before use by
charging with water to a pressure of 700 kPa
( 7 kgf/cm2 ) measured at the inlet for a period
of at least 30 minutes. During this period, an
inspection of the system should be done to check
that no leakage of water is taking place at any of
the joints or landing valves and the pressure in
the system does not drop by more than 50 kPa
( 0’5 kgf/cm’ ).
8.2 After the test in accordance with 8.1 is com-
pleted, a flow test should be carried out.
9 MAINTENANCE
9.1Periodic inspections of the vicinity of all
hydrants should also be done to ensure that there
are no obstructions impeding accessibility and that
hydrant indicator plates are in position.
9.2 Periodic inspection should be done to ensure
that all isolating valves for systems are kept
locked in an ‘open’ position. Also flow and
pressure should be checked to ensure that sup-
plies have not deteriorated, leakage does not exist
and that the entire system is in satisfactory
condition.
9.3 Inlets, landing valves, drain valves, door
hinges and locking arrangements to the inlet and
landing valve boxes should be inspected every six
months. Special attention should be given to all.~
IS 3844 : 1989
that they are in satisfactory condition, so that all
equipment is ready for immediate use. Also
following checks should be done:
a) Check on the cleanliness of storage tanks,
and
b) Thorough check of the jockey pumps and
their associated mechanical and electrical
equipment.
9.4 Where any outlet on the rising mains is found
to be defective and no replacement is immediately
available, the whole valve assembly should be
removed from the main and be replaced with a
blanking off plate or plug, in order that the system
remains operative.
9.5 Hose reels should be subjected to regular
inspection to ensure that the inlet valve, the auto-
matic on/off valve, if any, glands, tubing and shut
off nozzle are sound and free from leaks, and also
to ensure that the outlet of the nozzle is not
choaked.
9.6 If jockey pumps have been installed, such
pumps and the associated mechanical and electri-
cal equipments should also be checked.
9.7 Once a year the hose reels should be com-
pletely run out and subjected to operational
water pressure to ensure that the hose is in good
condition and that the coupling joints are water-
tight. A flow test should be carried out to ensure
that discharge of at least 0’5 I/s ( 30 l/mitt ) is
achieved. If it is not possible to test every hose
reel, at least the highest reel on each rising main
should be tested.
9.8 It is essential that all defects are rectified in
the shortest possible time, to ensure that the fixed
fire-flghting equipment is restored to a satisfactory
condition in as short a time as possible.
9.9 Where, due to unforeseen dim&ties it is
necessary to leave an installation not available
for use, the fire service should be informed
immediately in order that alternative arrange-
ments may be made to cover this deficiency should
the need arise. In addition, a suitable notice to
indicate that the installation is not available for
valves, spindles, glands and washers to ensure use should be placed in a prominent position.
