NFPA 16-2019 PDF Download

The NFPA 16-2019 standard has been reorganized to align with the updated NFPA 13. This standard provides guidelines for designing, installing, and maintaining foam-water fire protection systems used in settings that store or use flammable liquids.

NFPA 16 covers various aspects including components, water supplies, design and installation, and acceptance tests. The design of these systems must consider the required density for foam or water application, depending on the specific purpose.

In line with the organizational updates of the 2019 edition of NFPA 13, NFPA 16 presents information in a logical sequence for easier planning and designing of foam water sprinkler/spray systems. It is a valuable resource for designers, installers, and facility managers, facilitating effective and error-free work, as well as timely testing and approvals. Technical changes in this edition include requirements for working drawings, details about foam concentrate piping, and information on containment, drainage, and spill control.
