Re: Activity

I had the privilege of working for George from June 2003 until his passing. I'm now retired but still doing contract design, mostly for Rowe Sprinkler. Can honestly say there almost never a day that goes by, that the thought doesn't cross my mind. What would George do? Richard L.Mote, CET

Re: Multiple System Calculation

All - For the 2022 edition of NFPA 13, some clarifications and changes are coming for the "Phantom Flow" calculation process. The diagram in the annex has been revised. These changes are still tentative since the NITIAM process is currently occurring. Hopefully, these changes will make it easier

As Kyle said in plan view the ceiling panels cover approx. 70% of the floor space. but they are spaced min 0-6 apart and slope in two directions. Thanks, Dane Long, AET Engineering Technician | Bamford Fire Sprinkler Co., Inc. P:785.825.7710 F:785.825.0667 A: 1383 W. North Street

RE: [EXTERNAL] Noncontinuous obstructions More than 18" down

Have you guys had a chance to look at the actual plans Dane is dealing with? It seems to meet the letter of the law for not requiring additional heads, but it also looks like the outlier that the committee probably wasn't expecting when that was written. In plan view, these panels cover nearly

Re: [EXTERNAL] Noncontinuous obstructions More than 18" down

My understanding of the standard is no additional protection is needed as long as you have the 18" of clearance between the sprinkler and the top of the obstruction. As you stated, the pattern is developed sufficiently to allow adequate protection since water will be delivered on both sides of

RE: [EXTERNAL] Noncontinuous obstructions More than 18" down

I don’t think these classify as a cloud ceiling as their 4ft by 8ft tectum ceiling panels suspended below the desk. Per A8.6.5.3.3 Ceiling panels with the width 4ft or less and the length 4ft or more and more than 18" down do not require protection. NFPA 13 doesn’t specify a max or min. spacing
