{}#yiv0109144994 How much DOT Class Division 1.1 (primer) and 1.3
(gunpowder)explosives will be located inside the building at any one time…and
where? What blast resistance requirements are required between said explosives
and the rest of the building? Where are explosives stored? Have venting
considerations in coordination with suppression activation and the impact of
humidity on the explosives themselves been considered? Any explosion control
measures necessary or NFPA 68 and 69 considerations/requirements per NFPA 495?
Where, if any, is there ‘transient storage state’ of primer boxes? This
change in use needs to be reviewed/analyzed from a building Code standpoint by
a knowledgeable licensed fire protection engineer. I’m very surprised there
does not already appear to be one involved. Ryan L. Hinson, PE*, SET** \

Subject: Ammunition Manufacturer Good Afternoon All: I am working with
the owner of an existing 28,000 Sq Ft manufacturing facility of non-combustible
construction. The owner wants to convert the facility to the manufacture of
small arms ammunition. He has been through the initial code review with the
State, but there seem to be some “inconsistencies” with those findings. The
State has determined the Use Group to be H (High Hazard) even though small arms
ammunition mfg is listed in the exceptions. Under those exceptions, the Use
Group would revert to the Group which best fits it’s use. In MY opinion that
would be Use Group F-1. So I have laid this thing out to EH Grp II (.4 /
2500) Does anybody out there have any past experience with something along
these lines that can tell me if I’m off base or not? Thanks, John Paulsen
