Copyright 2017 National Fire Protection Association . All Rights Reserved. NFPA 1964 Standard for Spray Nozzles 2018 Edition This edition of NFPA 1964, Sta
32、ndard for Spray Nozzles, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Fire Hose. It was issued by the Standards Council on November 10, 2017, with an effective date of November 30, 2017, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 1964 was approved as an American National Standard on No
33、vember 30, 2017. Origin and Development of NFPA 1964 The rst edition of NFPA 1964 was adopted in 1988 based on a need for a standard that applied to portable adjustable-pattern nozzles for general re department use and for use on hose attached to standpipes. In the second edition, the text was edito
34、rially reworked to make the document more usable, and the details of a few of the test procedures were revised to better reect how the nozzles are used in the eld. The 1998 edition allowed for rating nozzles at other than the traditional 6.9 bar (100 psi); added requirements for marine nozzles; and
35、claried the testing process, methods, and procedures to improve the understanding of the compliance testing required. The 2003 edition expanded the document to cover master stream spray nozzles up to 7570 L/min (2000 gpm) in addition to handline spray nozzles. Requirements for marking nozzles were a
36、llowed to be in either SI or U.S. units. The pass/fail criteria for some tests were revised to base them on requirements for the nozzle in the standard rather than on results of previous testing. The parenthetical expression “(Shutoff and Tip)” was removed from the title of the standard. The documen
37、t was completely revised for compliance with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents, and changes were made to improve the clarity of the requirements. The 2008 edition of this standard was a general update and review by the committee. The 2013 edition of NFPA 1964 was edited by t
38、he Technical Committee to clarify language. The difference between ow and ow rate in comparison to discharge was made clearer to emphasize the importance of ow and ow rate factors in re suppression. The committee also transposed measurements to put U.S. units rst to reect the format of other NFPA re
39、 hose standards. The 2018 edition of NPFA 1964 has many signicant changes due to the fact that the committee has chosen to withdraw NFPA 1965. In doing so the committee incorporated the relevant material from 1965 into the applicable areas of NFPA 1964. The goal of this major change was to make it e
40、asier for the users of the documents to go to one document for the information on nozzles, whereas before the user would have to go to multiple documents for information on the subject.SPRAY NOZZLES 1964-2 2018 Edition Technical Committee on Fire Hose Andrew D.
