In our NZ Standard NZS541 a sprinkler with RTI between >50 and <80 is
designated a "Special Response Sprinkler". These usually have a 4mm bulb. 
"Std Response" has a 5mm or larger bulb and the "Fast Response" has a 3mm
bulb.

Subject: RE:RTI

correction, meter, not feet. i should have looked in 13 instead of trying to
recall and thinking i needed to convert. but i now have another (perhaps
stupid) question re the definition of fast response and standard response:
if fast is RTI=50 or less and standard is 80 or more, what is in between
called? I am really more interested in the reasoning for the DEFINITION in
NFPA #13, not some box of heads in RTI limbo. Any TC members out there not
totally fed-up with me yet?
