Paperback. A fire-protection calculation can be flawless on paper - and still fail when the fire comes.Codes give you the rules. Software gives you a number. Neither teaches the one skill that decides whether a building's people have water between them and the flames: knowing whether the answer is actually right - and being able to prove it.Water-Based Fire Protection Engineering is the practice-led guide that takes you the entire distance - from the properties of water to a system that is designed, verified, commissioned, and kept sound for its whole service life. It doesn't just show you how to run a hydraulic calculation. It teaches you to explain the result, test whether it's credible, catch the "flawless wrong answer" before an inspector or a fire does, and defend every decision that follows.Inside, you'll master: Hydraulics from the ground up - pressure, head, flow, friction loss, and pipe networks, built from first principles with every variable and unit defined.Real water supplies - flow tests, supply curves, and the demand-versus-supply proof that decides adequacy.Complete system design - sprinkler discharge, fire pumps, storage, standpipes, deluge, preaction, water mist, and foam-water systems.The full node-by-node hydraulic calculation - worked end to end, by hand, so you finally own what the software does.Calculation verification & model auditing - the discipline most books skip: how to find the error that makes a perfect-looking design deadly.Commissioning, acceptance & field validation - hydrostatic tests, pump tests, and the acceptance baseline that protects a system for decades.Life-cycle, ITM & resilience - keeping a system as sound as the day it was accepted.Built around the engineering principles behind modern fire codes and standards (including NFPA 13, 14, and 20), written SI-first with U.S.-customary units throughout, and illustrated with 60 clear technical figures, it turns intimidating math into approachable, professional practice.Who it's for: fire-protection, mechanical, and building-services engineering students; early-career designers building calculation and review fluency; candidates preparing for the PE Fire Protection exam and NICET certification; plan reviewers, inspectors, and AHJs who need a defensible basis for asking the right questions; and practicing engineers who want one reliable, systems-level reference.What sets it apart: 250+ fully worked examples and 300+ practice problems with boxed answer keys - 16 chapters and 470+ pages, with a glossary, list of symbols, and reference appendices - a one-of-a-kind design-to-assurance path: reason first, calculate second, verify always.Anyone can produce a number. This book makes you the engineer who can prove it's the right one.

A fire-protection calculation can be flawless on paper — and still fail when the fire comes.
Codes give you the rules. Software gives you a number. Neither teaches the one skill that decides whether a building's people have water between them and the flames: knowing whether the answer is actually right — and being able to prove it.
Water-Based Fire Protection Engineering is the practice-led guide that takes you the entire distance — from the properties of water to a system that is designed, verified, commissioned, and kept sound for its whole service life. It doesn't just show you how to run a hydraulic calculation. It teaches you to explain the result, test whether it's credible, catch the "flawless wrong answer" before an inspector or a fire does, and defend every decision that follows.
Inside, you'll master:
- Hydraulics from the ground up — pressure, head, flow, friction loss, and pipe networks, built from first principles with every variable and unit defined.
- Real water supplies — flow tests, supply curves, and the demand-versus-supply proof that decides adequacy.
- Complete system design — sprinkler discharge, fire pumps, storage, standpipes, deluge, preaction, water mist, and foam-water systems.
- The full node-by-node hydraulic calculation — worked end to end, by hand, so you finally own what the software does.
- Calculation verification & model auditing — the discipline most books skip: how to find the error that makes a perfect-looking design deadly.
- Commissioning, acceptance & field validation — hydrostatic tests, pump tests, and the acceptance baseline that protects a system for decades.
- Life-cycle, ITM & resilience — keeping a system as sound as the day it was accepted.
Built around the engineering principles behind modern fire codes and standards (including NFPA 13, 14, and 20), written SI-first with U.S.-customary units throughout, and illustrated with 60 clear technical figures, it turns intimidating math into approachable, professional practice.
Who it's for: fire-protection, mechanical, and building-services engineering students; early-career designers building calculation and review fluency; candidates preparing for the PE Fire Protection exam and NICET certification; plan reviewers, inspectors, and AHJs who need a defensible basis for asking the right questions; and practicing engineers who want one reliable, systems-level reference.
What sets it apart: 250+ fully worked examples and 300+ practice problems with boxed answer keys · 16 chapters and 470+ pages, with a glossary, list of symbols, and reference appendices · a one-of-a-kind design-to-assurance path: reason first, calculate second, verify always.
Anyone can produce a number. This book makes you the engineer who can prove it's the right one. Add Water-Based Fire Protection Engineering to your cart today — and design systems you can stand behind on paper, in the field, and when it matters most.

El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
