Well typical paper has a HRH of around 8,000 BTU/lb. So what's the weight of the paper per sq ft. If it is more than 2 ounces, it's a no go.

According to NFPA 13 section 8.15.1.2 (and the 16 subsections to that
section) sprinkler protection is required for this concealed space
UNLESS the requirements of 8.15.1.2.12 (insulation facing and substrate
material does not exceed 1000 BTU/sq. ft.) applies.




Can anyone tell me where I can find documentation that will identify for
me the heat content of this type of paper-faced fiberglass insulation
materia?
