Thanks Jeff. I saw some earlier errata on the ESFR tables and this looked
skewed to me. I went and looked through the FM Global data sheets and it
made somewhat more sense to me.

Randy,

There is no error.  Not all ESFR are created equal.  K25 and K22 will not
protect the same things that K14 and K17 will.

Fire Sprinklers save lives.  Can you live without them?

Subject: Table 17.3.3.1 ESFR Protection 

Is there an error in Table 17.3.3.1?

I notice in exposed unexpanded 35ft storage in 40ft building section there
is a big penalty for using 25.2k sprinklers.

14.0k at 75psi ~ 121gpm

16.8k at 52psi ~ 121gpm

25.2k at 50psi ~ 178gpm

 

For the same heights with cartoned unexpanded, the numbers are the same with
the exception of 25psi for the 25.2k.

 

I checked the errata for NFPA 13 2010ed and didn't see anything.
