Travis,
I did a bunch of tenenat renovations in a mall a while back and both the
AHJ and FM Global required calculations. The reasoning was that the ceiling
layouts tend to be somewhat extreme (lots of soffits, clouds, etc) and the
number of sprinklers in the remote area could increase.

If it is designed, installed, tested, inspected, and maintained incorrectly
it is still wrong.

If you remember, a couple of weeks back I posted a question regarding a
pipe schedule system in a building from 1884. I went up this morning and
mapped out the systems. As best I can figure, the pipe schedule goes

I am working on a project in a mill that was constructed in 1884. On the
top floor, the branch piping is 3/4 - 1 - 1. Was there an older version of
pipe schedule that allowed smaller pipe or is this just undersized?
