I have some Industrial Fire Protection handbooks on the computer in PDF format. 
 Can you read PDF files and how large a file will your e-mail accept.  

Let me know and I'll e-mail them to you.  You will find them invaluable.

Subject: Inergen/Argonite/Fm200/Argon/Nitrogen

Thanks all for the valuable answers,
Except from HAV and water mist which are different stories, I like to 
consider three scenarios and would like to know your preferred gaseous system  
type among Inergen/Argonite/Fm200/Argon/Nitrogen including your reasons:
 
 
Scenario 1: In a switchgear room or flammable liquid storage area, which is 
UNoccupied: My idea is that as the area is unoccupied and as CO2 system is 
effective on both class B and class C fires and as CO2 is the cheapest, so the 
best system is CO2 system.
 
Scenario 2: In a paper document archive room, which is UNoccupied: My idea is 
that although the area is unoccupied but as CO2 system is NOT good effective on 
class A fires so I can choose either Argon/Nitrogen/Argonite/Inergen, I will 
choose the cheapest, perhaps Argon.
 
Scenario 3: In a rare book library or painting gallery, which is occupied: My 
idea is that Inergen is the best, if we have space problem, FM-200 is the 
second option, I have seen many manufactures also suggest IG-55 (Argonite) and 
IG-01 (Argon) and IG-100 (Nitrogen), are these three prohibited to use for 
occupied spaces?
 
I eagerly would like to know your ideas about the above three scenarios. 
 
Thanks,
Reza
