A client has a building that is protected with an Ordinary Hazard Group 3 system.
They want to store class IIIB combustible liquids in 16 gal and 55 gal drums. Table 9.6.1 gives the MAQ for a IIIB as 13,200 gal with note 1 & 4 and note 4 states that the quantities are not limited if the building is equipped with an automatic sprinkler system installed in accordance with NFPA #13. This seems to imply that they could store an unlimited amount of class IIIB liquids. Table 12.6.2.2 gives the MAQ as 55,000 gal if the building is protected with a sprinkler system designed for class 4 commodities to 20'. Am I missing something Thank you James Crawford Phaser Fire Protection Ltd.
