4 Preface There have been very few books written about standpipe systems in the 150-year history of water-based fire protection system design. In 1976, Dr. John Bryan published the first edition of his book, Automatic Sprinkler and Standpipe Systems. This book was an important step forward because it was the first book to dedicate significant space to the subject. But half of the book was dedicated to fire sprinkler systems, so there was not enough space in the book to get into some of the more complicated issues involved in standpipe system design. Over the years, Dr. Bryan s book was updated with more information, but it still did not have the space to tackle the real complex issues. At the same time, standpipe systems were evolving and more codes and standards organizations were getting involved in writing their own requirements, which are sometimes contradictory. The time has come for a book dedicated to standpipe systems and nothing else so that all of the complicated issues can be discussed. This book pulls together all of the requirements for standpipe systems that can be found in the International Building Code, the International Fire Code, NFPA 14, NFPA 20, and NFPA 25 and attempts to make sense of them. In the situations where the requirements from one document contradict the rules of another, the hierarchy will be presented so that the reader will be able to determine which requirement is the one that needs to be followed. The life cycle of standpipe systems will be covered from beginning to end. The book opens with basic information on what standpipe systems are and a short history of standpipe systems. It continues with design information and special considerations for high-rise buildings and pressure control concerns. The book will wrap up with a discussion of how to conduct the acceptance tests for a new standpipe system and how to care for an existing standpipe system with periodic inspection, testing, and maintenance.

5 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I need to thank my wife, Joan, for putting up with me and this project, which took much longer than I thought it would. She never complained, even when we ended up cancelling summer plans so that I would have more time to write. Thanks to Paul Drougas at Springer who believed in this project from the beginning. Not only did he encourage the work, but he also made great suggestions for improvement and even provided a photo for one of the chapters when he stumbled on a situation days after we had discussed including something like it in the book. This proves that he was paying attention and really cared enough to take the picture and pass it on, and for that, I am grateful. Nicholas Zielinski is a student in Fire Protection Engineering at the University of Maryland who proofread all of the chapters of this book for me. He found my mistakes, improved the text, and made sure that the figures and examples make sense. Thanks for his dedication and help. Finally, thanks to Marshmallow, Contee, 2K, and Nicholas who kept me company while I was working and helped me keep pushing this project forward. vii

11 About the Author Beginning in the fall of 2014, Kenneth E. Isman became a Clinical Professor at the University of Maryland in the Fire Protection Engineering Department, where he teaches classes in fire protection systems design and life safety analysis. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Fire Protection Engineering and a Master of Science in Management, both from the University of Maryland. He is a Licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Connecticut and has been inducted as a Fellow of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers. Mr. Isman has been a member of more than 15 committees of the NFPA responsible for most of the water-based fire protection system and life safety documents since He also served on several committees of the American Water Works Association, developing recommended practices for backflow connection and crossconnection control. Prior to coming to the University of Maryland, Mr. Isman worked for 28 years in the Engineering Department of the National Fire Sprinkler Association (NFSA), where he started as the Manager of Codes and Education and was consistently promoted over the years until he reached the position of Vice President of Engineering, which he held for 8 years. While with the NFSA, he served as the Secretary of the Engineering and Standards Committee, where he represented the interests of the fire sprinkler industry to influence changes to NFPA 14 and better define the process of designing and installing standpipe systems for fire protection. A noted author and lecturer, Mr. Isman has written a number of publications for the NFSA, NFPA, and SFPE, including: The textbook Layout, Detail and Calculation of Fire Sprinkler Systems Pumps for Fire Protection Systems Chapters of the NFPA Fire Protection Handbook A chapter of the SFPE Handbook of Fire Protection Engineering He has served as an international speaker at more than 500 seminars and workshops on fire protection systems design. xv
