Without doing any engineering and no other
information, I would say probably not. According
to A.5.6.3, cartoned carpet tiles are a Group A
plastic. The latex foam pads are another bundle
of joy. 55psi may not be enough to handle the
demand. More engineering is needed on this
project to make an actual determination.

I am looking at a 25,000 sq foot former
manufacturing facility that is being renovated
and a wet system is being provided. A storage
area- 4700 sq ft. will contain rolled up rugs
(nylon type  and latex foam pads) that will be
stored on 12 foot high racks along with boxes of
water based adhesive and carpet tiles. The
storage area has a 20 foot high ceiling with
30â steel joists and masonry construction. I
was told that by an outside source that FM
Global has design criteria for this type of material.
Problem is the water supply is 55 static and 45
at 920 gpm residual. and 1808 gpm  at 20 psi
(this was projected by the water provider.).
I am questioning whether this is enough water
for this type of hazard. Any thoughts?
