When Sprinkler Samples are Out of Specification
It is important to send in a sample of sprinklers to be tested by a recognized testing laboratory such as Dyne Fire Protection Labs to ensure that a sprinkler system will work properly in the event of a fire. Dyne completes an appearance inspection as well as a test of the response time of the sprinklers received in our laboratory. Any test that does not meet the NFPA 25 requirement will show up as “Out of Specification” on the test report.
Dyne Fire Sprinkler Testing
Dyne has purchased a state-of-the-art plunge oven test from the manufacturer that has made these ovens for many of the test organizations and sprinkler manufacturers both in the US and abroad. The oven precisely controls both the temperature and velocity of the air flow in order to provide accurate and reproducible results. View the video for a close up look at what the sprinkler oven looks like in operation.
Preparing Your Foam Samples for Dyne
Getting your samples tested in a timely manner is important. One of the biggest causes of delay in getting samples checked in and tested is incomplete paperwork. Watch this short video to ensure your samples are ready to be checked in and tested when they arrive at Dyne.
