As a Houston fire sprinkler team we have a unique accurate check system to ensure a flawless design of  your fire sprinkler system, to assure your safety, well being and prevent property loss or damages.

HiTech's fire sprinkler systems are designed using an area and density approach. The Customer's building use and building contents will be analyzed to determine a level of fire hazard. Typically buildings are classified as light hazards, ordinary hazards group 1, ordinary hazard group 2, extra hazard group 1, or extra hazard group 2. Then determining the hazard classification or description, a design area and density can be identified by referencing tables in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards. The design area is a theoretical area of the building representing the worst case scenario area where a fire could burn. After a design area and density have been determined, calculations are performed to prove that the fire sprinkler system can deliver the required amount of water over the required design area. These calculations account for all of the pressure that is lost or gained between the water supply source and the fire sprinkler system that would operate in the design area. This includes pressure losses due to friction inside the piping and losses or gains due to elevational differences between the source and the discharging fire sprinklers.

We want to be known as the Houston Fire Sprinkler Standard. With a title like Houston Fire Sprinkler Standard, other fire sprinkler installers would then pay closer attention to the fire sprinkler methods we use. This in the end would increase the fire safety measures  across the board for all Houston  fire sprinkler installations.

From WIkipedia
A fire sprinkler system is an active fire protection measure, consisting of a water supply system, providing adequate pressure and flowrate to a water distribution piping system, onto which fire sprinklers are connected. Although historically only used in factories and large commercial buildings, home and small building systems are now available at a cost-effective price.
Fire sprinkler systems are intended to either control the fire or to suppress the fire. Control mode fire sprinklers are intended to control the heat release rate of the fire to prevent building structure collapse, and pre-wet the surrounding combustibles to prevent fire spread. The fire is not extinguished until the burning combustibles are exhausted or manual extinguishment is effected by firefighters. Suppression mode sprinklers (formerly known as Early Suppression Fast Response (ESFR) fire sprinklers) are intended to result in a severe sudden reduction of the heat release rate of the fire, followed quickly by complete extinguishment, prior to manual intervention.
Fire sprinkler application and installation guidelines, and overall fire sprinkler system design guidelines, are provided by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 13, (NFPA) 13D, and (NFPA) 13R.
In 1812, inventor Sir William Congreve patented a manual sprinkler system using perforated pipes along the ceiling. When someone noticed a fire, a valve outside the building could be used to send water through the pipes.

Henry S. Parmalee  created and installed the first automatic fire sprinkler system in 1874, using solder that melted in a fire to plug holes in the otherwise open water pipes. At the time he was the president of Mathusek Piano Works. Parmelee invented his sprinkler system in response to exorbitantly high insurance rates. Parmelee patented his idea and had great success with it in the U.S. Parmelee called his invention the "automatic fire extinguisher". He then traveled to Europe to show people that there was finally a way to help stop a building fire before everything was destroyed.
