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.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
