A sway brace intended to resist differential movement of the piping system in all horizontal directions.
Industry:Fire safety
A suspended ventilating device used only to exhaust heat, water vapor, odors, and other nonhazardous materials. This is not a chemical fume hood and generally is not effective for exhausting toxic or flammable materials.
Industry:Fire safety
A suspended ceiling system, which is installed below the sprinklers, with listed translucent or opaque panels that are heat sensitive and fall from their setting when exposed to heat.
Industry:Fire safety
A surge generator with a 2-ohm internal impedance producing a 1. 2/50 µs open circuit voltage and an 8/20 µs short-circuit current waveshape.
Industry:Fire safety
A surface processing facility used to size, separate, and concentrate valuable metals from raw ore.
Industry:Fire safety
A support for beams or joists that runs at right angles to the beams or joists. If the top of the girder is within 100 mm (4 in. ) of the ceiling, the girder is a factor in determining the number of detectors and is to be considered a beam. If the top of the girder is more than 100 mm (4 in. ) from the ceiling, the girder is not a factor in detector location.
Industry:Fire safety
A supply tank from which the oil is delivered directly to the burner by gravity.
