Sprinkler Testing

$60 per head

LAW tests the response time of the sprinklers to ensure the sprinklers will release in a specified amount of time when exposed to a defined temperature and air flow. The acceptable response time is based on a response time index (RTI).

If the response time does not meet the RTI requirement, the sprinkler response time will be marked as “FAIL”. Additionally, sprinklers that failed to release due to the release mechanism not activating, the water seal not releasing, or pressure loss not being detected due to a blocked waterway will be marked as “FAIL” on the report. If a sprinkler fails to meet the response requirements as defined above, all sprinklers within the area represented by the failure shall be replaced per NFPA 25 2023 Ed. Section 5.3.1.3.
