Fire System/ line Pressurised

Fire systems/lines are pressurized for several reasons:

1. Water supply: Pressurization ensures a consistent water supply to fight fires effectively.
2. Prevents contamination: Pressurization prevents contaminated water or air from entering the system.
3. Maintains flow rate: Pressurization maintains the required flow rate for fire suppression.
4. Compensates for elevation: Pressurization helps compensate for elevation changes in buildings.
5. Reduces water hammer: Pressurization reduces water hammer effects.
6. Ensures system readiness: Pressurization ensures the system is always ready for immediate use.
7. Prevents pipe corrosion: Pressurization helps prevent pipe corrosion by removing air.
8. Supports sprinkler and hose operations: Pressurization supports the operation of sprinklers and hoses.
