Newly constructed research and development lab facility is protected by a wet 
type sprinkler system, one of the lab scientist is worried about the accidental 
release of the automatic sprinkler  heads on top  or  in the  vicinity of the 
high tech., expensive analytical instruments such as NMR, FTMS, autospec GC/MS 
and ESEM , which present a potential risk of damage to these instruments in 
case these sprinklers kick off during actual emergency or broken by mistake by 
a maintenance personnel or a lab personnel.  He suggests gas suppression 
instead. I explained to him that accidental leakage of wet type sprinkler 
system is very minimal. The question is what the probability of activation and 
how much will it cost to replace the existing system with a gas suppression 
system.  Your recommendations/insights are highly appreciated.
