Knowledge of fire pump selection
Jan 07,2026
The selection of fire pumps should consider five aspects: liquid delivery volume, equipment head, liquid properties, pipeline layout, and operating conditions, based on the process flow and water supply and drainage requirements of the fire pump application project.
Pumps used in fire systems are categorized as follows:
Fire sprinkler pumps, fire hydrant pumps, fire pressure maintaining pumps, and fire booster pumps; the specific type used depends on the actual situation.
The types of pumps used in fire systems are similar, differing mainly in head and flow rate.
Fire pumps are mainly divided into vertical fire pumps and horizontal fire pumps. The flow rate of the liquid being transported is one of the important performance data for fire pump selection, directly affecting the production capacity of the entire system.
