Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 902.
(1)
					 "Automatic sprinkler system" means a network of specially sized piping to which
					 sprinklers are connected and systematically spaced. The system is activated by
					 heat to discharge water over a fire starting at any point. This system is
					 connected to a water supply through a controlling valve and a device for
					 activating an alarm when the system is operating.
(2) "Carbon dioxide extinguishing system"
					 means a system of pipes or hoses, nozzles, a triggering device and a
					 pressurized container of carbon dioxide. The gas dilutes the oxygen or gaseous
					 fuel, thus stopping the combustion chain reaction.
(3) "Class A fire" means a fire that has, as
					 its fuel, ordinary combustible material, such as wood, cloth, paper, rubber,
					 and many plastics.
(4) "Class B
					 fire" means a fire that has, as its fuel, flammable liquids, gases, or
					 greases.
(5) "Class C fire" means a
					 fire that involves energized electrical equipment where the nonconductivity of
					 the extinguishing agent is necessary to prevent shock. The fuel consumed by a
					 class C fire will be classed as A, B, or D.
(6) "Class D fire" means a fire that involves
					 the oxidation reaction of combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium,
					 zirconium, sodium, or potassium.

Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 903.
(1)
					 "Dry chemical extinguishing system" means a system of pipes or hoses, nozzles,
					 an actuating device, an expellant gas and a container holding a dry chemical.
					 When activated, the expellant gas carries the dry chemical in suspension to
					 stop the combustion chain reaction.
(2) "Dry chemical" means an agent, capable of
					 extinguishing a fire, composed of very small particles, such as sodium
					 bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, or monoammonium phosphate, with added
					 particulate material supplemented by special treatment to prevent caking and
					 providing flowability.
(3) "Dry
					 pipe system" means an automatic sprinkler system employing compressed air or
					 other nonflammable gases in the system instead of water. When a sprinkler
					 opens, relieving the air pressure, water pressure opens a dry pipe valve
					 filling the system with water. This system is normally used where piping is
					 exposed to freezing temperatures.
(4) "Fire pump" or "booster pump" means a
					 water pump used to supply water from a suction supply at a specific pressure
					 and volume to a sprinkler or standpipe system.
(5) "Fixed fire equipment" means a fire
					 extinguishing system which is permanently mounted and portions of those systems
					 which may be portable, such as a hose and nozzle attached to a fixed supply of
					 extinguishing agent.
(6) "Flammable
					 liquid" means any liquid having a flashpoint below 100 degrees
					 Fahrenheit.
(7) "Flammable
					 material" means that material which ignites easily, burns intensely, or has a
					 rapid rate of flame spread.
(8)
					 "Foam-water spray system" means a special system, pipe-connected to a source of
					 foam concentrate and to a water supply, equipped with appropriate devices for
					 extinguishing agent discharge and distribution over the area or equipment to be
					 protected.

Rule 905.
(1)
					 "Halogenated extinguishing system" means a fixed system of pipes or hoses,
					 nozzles, an actuating device and a container containing a halogenated agent
					 under pressure. The agent inhibits the chemical reaction of fuel and oxygen,
					 thus stopping the combustion chain reaction.
(2) "High expansion foam system" means a
					 system of flooding an area with an aggregation of bubbles mechanically
					 generated by the passage of air or gas through a net or screen which is wetted
					 by a solution of foaming agents and generated as a foam in a ratio of 100 to
					 1000 to 1.
(3) "Local fire alarm
					 system" means a system of boxes or devices which will manually or automatically
					 activate a visual or audible alarm, or both, to alert an employee.
(4) "Predischarge or discharge alarm" means
					 an audible or visual device interconnected with an extinguishing system and a
					 detecting actuating device.

					 and hose system" means a water pipe and a hose used where the building height
					 or character requires an immediate means of obtaining a fire stream.
(3) "Water flow alarm" means a device so
					 constructed and installed that any flow of water from a sprinkler system, equal
					 to or greater than that from a single sprinkler, will result in an audible
					 alarm signal on the premises.
