What do sprinklers in a factory remove from the fire triangle?
Sprinklers in a factory remove heat from the fire triangle.
What is aStandard response fire sprinkler?
Standard response (SR) sprinkler heads are best suited for commercial or industrial buildings, including factories and warehouses. They activate individually to prevent causing water damage where there is no fire present. SR sprinklers take longer to activate than quick response sprinklers, requiring the heat from a fire below to reach a higher temperature before the liquid inside the bulb expands, the glass breaks, and water flows through the sprinkler head. SR sprinklers contain 5 mm glass bulbs that take longer for the expanding liquid inside to burst them. That said, these sprinkler heads still react within seconds, quickly dousing any fire.
How do you make a lightbulb on Doodle God?
Mix void and glass. Void+glass=light bulb
What type are glass tube fire sprinklers?
There are many different types of fire sprinklers actuated by glass tubes, depending upon where and how they will be used.Different types include:Quick response or slower;Wide dispersal or normal;Large droplets;Residential;Standard spray;Nozzle;Deluge;Dry;Ornamental;Flush-mount, concealed;etc.Some are designed to activate more quickly, others more slowly
What has a low melting point and is useful in sprinklers?
modern automatic sprinklers use a glass bulb that is filled with a fluid that boils and expands at a preset temperature. the glass bulb has a small bubble in the fluid. when a fire causes the fluid to boil, it shatters the glass bulb, which is keeping the waterway seal of the sprinkler in place. When the seal is gone, water can flow through the sprinkler orfice, and extinguish the fire. older sprinkler models use a link and lever arrangement, with a link of solder that melts at a preset temperature. The link and levers of the sprinkler mechanically hold the waterway seal of the sprinkler closed. When the link melts, the mechanical seal is gone, and water can flow through the orfice.
How do you make a light bulb in little alchemy?

How does heat move from a fire to a fire sprinkler?
Standard wet-pipe fire extinguishers (the kind that you'll find in most buildings) have 2 components: the fire pump and the pipe system. Within the pipes there is pressurized water, held in place by the sprinkler heads. This water is supplied to the pipes by the fire pump.If you look carefully at a fire sprinkler head, you'll notice what appear to be glass bulbs filled with a colored liquid. The liquid in these bulbs is extremely heat sensitive, and the heat from a fire in the building will cause it to expand and burst the bulb. This releases the pressurized water from the pipes into the room with the fire. Another type of sprinkler valve uses a "fusible link" that is calibrated to melt and open the valve when it is hot enough.The release of water by the sprinkler head causes a drop of water pressure in the fire sprinkler system, which sends a signal to the fire pump that it needs to kick on and supply more water pressure to the sprinklers so they can continue to put out the fire. Once the fire is extinguished, the only way to turn the sprinklers off is to shut them off at the pump. This is usually only done with permission of the fire department.Some fire sprinklers work by turning on the whole system at the signal of smoke or fire and dousing the entire area with water.Fire sprinklers are often found in public buildings. They are connected to smoke detectors, so when the detectors go off, the fire sprinklers do as well.Standard wet-pipe fire extinguishers (the kind that you'll find in most buildings) have 2 components: the fire pump and the pipe system.

Do you need toilet to be protected with fire sprinklers?
Yes, some bathrooms must be protected with fire sprinklers. One example is any bathroom that is accessible from a public hallway. NFPA 13.
Are there fire sprinklers on a cruise liner?
Yes, because fire is a major danger to cruise ships.
What is the minimum square footage of a house before fire sprinklers are required?
The answer depends upon what fire code applies. There are places where fire sprinklers are not required in one- or two-family buildings at all, where amended national fire codes have been enacted locally.
Are vintage fire sprinklers wanted as collectibles?
Yes, they are. Do you have any. My husband is a sprinklerfitter and installs automatic fire sprinklers. He is an avid collector and we would be interested in seeing anything that you might have. lmihnow@gmail.com
Should fusible link sprinklers be used in a deluge system?
No, sprinklers in a deluge system are "open"; no valve in the sprinkler, and an automatic valve turns on the water to all open sprinklers when a fire condition is detected.
