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:
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.
