And that's where it's going to be because if it's just ceiling sprinkler coverage, OH is OH and EH is EH regardless of the occupancy. So there's no reason to repeat the info specifically in the storage section of 13 when the limitations of the specific sprinkler type and spacing is listed elsewhere in the document. There aren't any specific spacing rules for storage versus non-storage areas for standard sprinklers. Sprinkler spacing are based on their listings.
The only specific spacing data in 13 is related to in-rack sprinklers. The AHJ just isn't going to see it in that section. Craig L.

I don't have a specific project but rather an ahj wanting to see it in the standard. All I can find that states anything pertaining to sprk. s.f. is not in the section pertaining to storage. Only for light, ordinary, extra hazard and other than standard sprk. such as large drop or ESFR.

When dealing with storage occupancies you need to clarify what is being stored, how it's being stored (racks, shelves, bins, on floor, pallets), in what type of container (box, crate, tote, jars, etc.), encapsulated, heights of said commodities, etc. Once you've established the what, where, and how then you can go deeper into 13 and find how the area is classified. For some commodities it could be spacing of 130 sq. ft, for others it could be limited to 100 sq. ft. Storage takes some analysis to determine what the appropriate approach will be." _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
