Custom tube bending is necessary for a variety of industries, especially for fire suppression and other fire fighting systems. Fire suppression systems are very important for prevention, control, or extinguishing fires. They can be found in almost every type of building around the world. Often these system set within very constraining spaces occupied by a myriad of other systems like ductwork and plumbing. In an industrial setting, it can become even more precarious. For that that reason, custom tube bending for many fire suppression systems are required.
To clarify what kind of suppression system we are discussing, let’s go over the type of fire suppression systems that would require some custom tube bending. First is the water-based suppression systems like sprinklers that can release various levels of water to prevent a fire from spreading. It’s classic method but comes with the downside of your electronic might get damaged. However, evolution in fire protection actually has added alternatives to using water.
Chemical Foam has become a popular alternative to water for kitchens fires because it causes minor damage and easier to use. However, this system needs specialized tubing. For environments with high-end technology or servers, pressurized gas is used to suppress a fire. The gas causes a chemical reaction that will extinguish the fire on contact. But what about suppressing a fire near a transformer? If the area restricts the use of water suppression, a foam deluge system might be used to ensure there are not bad reactions to the fire and water.
All of these systems are very different and often need special materials to make sure these suppression systems work!
Custom tubing for fire suppression systems have been commonplace for many years. People often need specific bends to help with the installation process, especially in tight spaces. However, with new types of systems being used, they also have been changing the type of materials used. While a water-based systems doesn’t require stainless steel, chemical foam suppression does because it can eat away at other materials. Foam Deluge needs weather resistant because this suppression system is often outside.
