FM 8-9

For 5 foot storage above the top level of IRAS - .24 over 2000
For 5-10 foot storage above the top level of IRAS - .3 over 2000

with very specific IRAS arrangement per the diagram and using high temp
heads.

Encapsulated commodity requires increasing ceiling density by 1.25.

Can someone point me in the right direction.  I'm trying to determine the
density for a project with the following conditions:

Rack Storage
Class III encapsulated
Double row racks
4'-0" aisle width
38' storage height
48' ceiling height
Solid shelving
NFPA 13 2007 ed.

I know I cant' use ESFR's and will have to place sprinklers at each level
of
shelving, but I can't seem to be able to nail down the ceiling density.

Thanks for your help.
