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
