No, these are thin sheets of plastic. They are basically like drawings printed on plastic sheets and stored in the exact same cabinets most of us have about 7' tall. The drawings we have are for a pre-action system at .15 over the entire area using back to back sidewall sprinklers for most of the room due to pipe hanging factors.
I am uncomfortable with it and I can not put my finger on why. I have already asked if the owner is providing the lintel between the sprinklers.

They weren't so much concerned about the film itself, but that water could damage what's on the film. Since it was a vault and the building was fully sprinklered, the AHJ signed off on it. I know that doesn't answer your question, but it may be something to consider. If there are no cellulose nitrates (worth mentioning in a note on the drawing), then you would be out of that part of the standards. I would take a look at it as storage under 12 feet and see where it falls on the decision tree. Consider at the amount of plastics and the packaging (steel reels, cardboard boxes, metal drawer trays?) and go from there. Caveat, I'm assuming that you are talking about video/audio film and not just thin sheets of plastic At 03:27 PM 8/29/2007, you wrote: >It is my week for questions I guess; > > > >If Polyester film is stored in a concrete room called a vault by the >owner inside small flat file metal cabinets that we would use for plan >drawers under 8'; are we completely removed from the film vault criteria >in 13 - 21.7 which is only for Nitrate films? > > > >If so, what storage do we consider this?
