NFPA CWBSP Exam Questions
- Topic 1: Project Development: In this topic of the CWBSP exam, Water-Based Fire Protection System Designers will be assessed on their ability to understand project scope, identify occupancy types, and review contract documents. Designers will need to demonstrate proficiency in evaluating plans, specifications, and submittal approval requirements, ensuring their capability to manage the foundational stages of a water-based fire protection system design.
- Topic 2: Survey Existing Systems: This topic tests the designer's skills in reviewing and assessing existing fire protection systems. Designers will be evaluated on their ability to evaluate system components, identify needs, and verify compliance with codes. Additionally, they must demonstrate competence in understanding inspection, testing, and coordinating interfaces between systems to ensure compliance and system adequacy.
- Topic 3: Design System Layouts: In this part of the exam, Water-Based Fire Protection System Designers will be tested on their ability to design appropriate water-based fire protection systems. Designers must determine system types, evaluate water supply, and design layouts, including hangers and bracing. The exam will assess compliance with contracts, codes, and standards, as well as coordination with other systems.
- Topic 4: Hydraulic Calculations: The hydraulic calculations topic evaluates a designer’s understanding of hydraulic formulas and design methods. Designers will be tested on their ability to apply these principles, particularly in evaluating the hydraulically most remote calculation area. This topic is critical to ensuring the efficiency and effectiveness of the fire protection system.

A dairy processing plant containing empty plastic crates to a maximum height of 5 ft (1.5 m) should be classified as
what occupancy type?
A dairy processing plant with empty plastic crates up to 5 ft high would typically be classified as Ordinary Group 1. The crates present a moderate fire load, but not as high as would warrant an Ordinary Group 2 or Extra Hazard classification.
After reviewing an existing sprinkler system, it was determined that sprinklers were installed using NFPA 13 using the Ordinary Hazard Pipe Schedule method. The highest elevation of sprinklers is 28 ft (8.53m) and the system is fully monitored as specified by NFPA 13. What is the minimum pressure and flow required?
For a system using the Ordinary Hazard Pipe Schedule method, the minimum pressure and flow required are typically based on the system's design criteria, which for a system fully monitored as specified by NFPA 13 and with the highest elevation of sprinklers at 28 ft, would be around 500 gpm at 27 psi.
A kitchen in a restaurant encompasses an area of just over 700 ft2 (65 m2) with 2-hour fire rated walls. Does this meet the definition of a small room?
A kitchen area of over 700 ft in a restaurant typically does not meet the definition of a 'small room' in fire protection terminology, as it exceeds common size thresholds for such a classification, which often consider both the area and the specific use or hazard of the space.
What is the required density for a warehouse with 10 ft (3 m) deep multiple-row racks without an in-rack sprinkler
system that contains a nonencapsulated storing Class IlI commodity on wooden pallets and has a storage height of
18 ft (5.4 m) and 8 ft (2.4 m) aisles, and is using standard, ordinary temperature sprinkler heads?
For a warehouse with the described characteristics, a design density of 0.33 gpm/ft is a common requirement to ensure adequate protection for Class III commodities on wooden pallets, taking into account the storage configuration and commodity type.
What is the minimum temperature rating of ceiling sprinklers in roll paper stored at 15 ft. (4.6 m) or less?
The minimum temperature rating for ceiling sprinklers in roll paper storage areas that are 15 ft or less in height is typically 150F (66C). This rating is selected to provide a buffer between the ambient temperature conditions and the activation temperature of the sprinklers, preventing accidental activation.
