Sprinkler System Supervision Includes:

• Water Flow
• Water Supply Control Valve
• Fire Pump Status
• Water Tank, Levels, Pressures
• Air Pressure on Dry Pipe System
• Water Supply Control Valves shall be supervised to obtain a distinctive signal when in an off normal position, within 2 revolutions of the handwheel, or when the valve has moved one fifth from its normal position.
• The switch shall not restore to a normal condition throughout the entire travel of the valve, until it is restored to a fully open position.
• A supervisory signal must be visually or audibly distinctive from both alarm and trouble signals.
• Water Flow and supervisory devices cannot be connected on the same initiating circuit so that the closing of a valve is annunciated as “ trouble” condition.

Corrosion (both oxygen and microbiologically influenced) is prevalent in fire sprinkler systems. Wet, dry, and pre-action fire sprinkler systems have seen an increase in corrosion since the late 1980s.

Several factors, such as thinner walled pipe, increased inspections and maintenance testing, and changes in fire sprinkler design have been responsible. Corrosion monitoring and mitigation is needed now more than ever before to forecast and eliminate such costly corrosion.

It may seem like replacing pipe is a simple and easy solution, but the costs of corrosion are far greater in the long run. Replacement fire sprinkler systems can be 2 to 3 times more expensive than the initial install.

Other issues that can arise from corrosion in fire sprinkler systems:

• Temporary shutdowns
• Loss of property
• Loss of production
• Personal injury
• Total system replacements
