It's more like a kitchen, and as far as the .16, that's what the only available sprinkler plans show the existing density to be. I don't know where it was derived from.

If they are testing for taste I'd assume they are cooking, are they baking, frying, boiling or ?????????? Is it more like a kitchen than a "lab" with areas similar to a greenhouse? .16 where did that come from? Craig L.

The only available sprinkler info on the existing system is a that the original system was calculated with a .16 / 1500. No additional info beyond this.

This particular use will be inside an existing facility where they are adding walls and a mezzanine to create two small labs. Neither level will be over 1,100 sf with 8'6" ceilings. I'm thinking that it needs to be classified as OH 1 having a similar function as to a "Dairy products manufacturing and processing" facility. This is based on the Annex of NFPA 13, 2010 ed., A.5.3.1. Would anyone think that this should be classified differently?
