Ignoring or neglecting any aspect of fire safety is a matter of life and death. Fire safety is a non-negotiable priority and fire protection systems like sprinklers must be carefully assessed to ensure they remain in perfect working order.

Legislation for fire safety in the UK is undergoing a substantial change in 2025, with the introduction of new regulations and measures that affect building managers, facilities directors and safety professionals sector-wide.

Commercial and industrial building managers have the unenviable task of ensuring the proper control of multiple critical functions. The flow of liquids and gases, in particular, is a vital operational necessity that building managers must regularly inspect and validate.

Understanding and correctly measuring water pressure is crucial for effectively operating fire sprinkler systems. Whether you’re installing a new system or maintaining an existing one, accurate pressure measurement ensures optimal performance when it matters most.

When it comes to industrial pressure measurement and control, precision is everything.

Two of the most critical components that help maintain optimal system performance are level switches and level transmitters.

In modern fire protection systems, controlling water flow efficiently and reliably is critical. Doing so relies on a multitude of components, switches and valves internally working together to provide optimal water flow and pressure.

When it comes to commercial fire safety, staying ahead of the curve is paramount.

As regulations evolve and technology advances, it’s crucial to adopt fire protection products and solutions that not only meet current standards but also provide enhanced protection and efficiency.

Differential pressure switches play a crucial role in various industrial and engineering applications, from water management systems and energy distribution to chemical processing plants.

Precise flow measurements are crucial for maintaining efficiency, safety, and productivity in industrial applications.

Kytola’s VA Smart variable area flow meters with mA output are at the forefront of this technology, offering a robust solution for applications that demand both on-site visual readings and remote monitoring capabilities.

Fire sprinklers play a crucial role in saving lives and protecting assets in residential and commercial buildings. Research conducted by the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) suggests that fire sprinkler systems successfully control and extinguish fires in almost all residential and commercial cases.

Fire sprinkler systems are a crucial fire protection feature in many buildings throughout the UK. The valves in these systems play an important role in controlling water flow and ensuring adequate pressure is available when needed.
