520 _aProvides an aid to understanding fire sprinkler installations and the LPC Rules to which they are designed. It explains the engineering behind the rules and regulations and some common misunderstandings about sprinkler systems. The exacting standards for designing and installing sprinklers are sometimes seen as excessive and inflexible, but the history of real fire events upon which the standards are based should never be ignored. Sprinkler systems are therefore designed and installed to prevent the unexpected.
