Mark, Ya. I have looked at 7-29 and think that Table 17 would apply. I just wanted to verify that NFPA does not address this arrangement.

There is a wealth of information relating to motor oil in plastic bottles. Lots of full scale fire testing has been done on exactly what you are dealing with. I believe we built one of these facilities in the recent past and protected it with ESFR at the roof. There are specific rules on the storage array relating to aisles and separation of the piles.

The quarts and gallon containers will be in cardboard boxes. The 5 gallons will be stacked two high on a pallets. First, would these containers be considered IBC's (intermediate bulk containers per 3.3.12.2 - 2015 edition)? If so, then I assume Table 16.5.2.9 would apply? If not considered IBC's, what Table would apply, if any?
