The standing fire hydrant or hydrant provides the necessary water for firefighting.

According to existing standards, having enough water available during a fire is a requirement.

The importance of the fire hydrant is such that it is considered equivalent to a fire station and even superior to a fire truck. When a fire truck arrives at a fire scene, if there is no hydrant nearby, it can only operate with the stored water in the truck for a maximum of two minutes and it will definitely need the fire hydrant to supply water.

On the other hand, the fire hydrant can be used independently without the need for a fire truck for firefighting. This is particularly useful in industrial environments and refineries.

According to the standards, the number of fire hydrants installed in residential and industrial areas should be such that they overlap and there are no blind spots or uncovered areas, although their distances vary based on the level of fire risk in that environment.

Types of standing fire hydrants from Iman Tayar Engineering Company:

Hydrants are usually divided into two main groups according to environmental weather conditions:

Standing fire hydrants with dry barrels (Dry Barrel Hydrant)

Fire hydrants with wet barrels (Wet Barrel Hydrant)

- (Dry barrel pillar hydrant): This standing fire hydrant is designed for cold environments where freezing might occur, and since fires can break out at any moment, the readiness of hydrants is of great importance.

Accordingly, this type of hydrant is designed so that the pipe and body remain dry at all times, and water only flows inside when the main valve is opened, eliminating the possibility of freezing inside the chamber.

Dry barrel hydrants come equipped with an auto drain valve that opens when the main valve is closed and drains all water inside the chamber.

- (Wet barrel pillar hydrant): This type of hydrant is used in warm regions where there is never a chance of freezing throughout the year, and there is always water inside the pipe and body of the hydrant.

This type of wet barrel fire hydrant has a simpler mechanism compared to dry barrel standing hydrants and does not require an automatic drain valve mechanism.

Features of the standing fire hydrant from Iman Tayar Engineering Company:

Given the importance of fire hydrants, a good fire hydrant should possess the following characteristics:

- Readiness: Service and maintenance in using the standing fire hydrant are of great importance, and since fires do not provide warnings, they must always be ready for use.

- High operational speed: Since time is crucial in firefighting, quick operational capability is one of the important features of standing fire hydrants from Iman Tayar Engineering Company.

- Adequate water flow: Considering that flow rate and water pressure play a major role in firefighting, the water output of the standing fire hydrant is very important.

- Safety: As fire hydrants belong to high-pressure and high-flow valves, they must be made from suitable materials and according to standards to avoid any danger to the surrounding environment, especially to firefighters during use.

- Reliable auto drain system: In dry barrel hydrants, the drain valve plays a key role, and its proper functioning must always be tested.

- Accessibility: The hydrant should be installed in a manner that allows firefighters to easily access it without any hindrance to prompt use.

- Ease of repair and maintenance: The design of the standing fire hydrant from Iman Tayar Engineering Company allows for easy maintenance and repair servicing.
