Based on the description it seems like the plastic is packaging, and it would fall under 5.6.3.3.2 and 5.6.3.4.1 (NFPA 13 2013) potentially, in which case it would be Class III or IV? ________________________________________ From: Sprinklerforum <[email protected]> on behalf of S & C Conlin <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 31, 2015 1:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Exposed Nonexpanded Plastic Container
Involved with this project where the warehouse and the palletized storage areas contain skids of exposed plastic pails containing non-combustible solids. I have recommended designing/upgrading the existing system to protect a Group A Plastic. I had the insurer tell me that the warehouse commodity is a Class III and Class IV. I am miffed. Does anyone have any rationale why an exposed nonexpanded HDPE pail/bucket (5 gal and 2 gal), containing a non-combustible solid would be considered anything other than an Gr A? Thanks in advance.
