Voir →Reliable sprinkler heads con-tain destructive fires right when they start. VdS has now updated and bundled its guidance for the development of these important components in the Guidelines VdS 2100-41.
”Our customers wanted compactness and clarity,“ explains Frank Bzdega, head of the VdS laboratories for water extinguishing sys-tems. ”So we combined many previously individual VdS regulations for various special sprinklers and EN 12259-1 in the updated Guide-lines. A new feature is testing for tightening torque, as current de-velopments often use thinner threaded materials – which has al-ready led to some breakages in practice. Those risks are eliminated for sprinklers tested according to this new publication."
The clearly structured compendium VdS 2100-41, “Sprinklers, re-quirements and test methods”, is available for free download at vds-shop.de/en – with precise specifications on function, strength, vibra-tion resistance, and much more.
Caption Sprinkler: Compressed and redesigned at customer requests for greater clarity, with additional tests for optimum safety: the new VdS Guide-lines for sprinkler heads.
