NFPA #30  (2008 ed)

 

We have a client that has a Liquid warehouse (1,200 ft²) that did not
require sprinkler protection by code, but did require sprinkler protection
by the AHJ to get a building permit. The system is an Ordinary hazard group
2 dry system.

 

They store class II and IIIB liquids in steel drums and Plastic IBC,
originally storage was on the floor to 4’-0” one drum or tote high.

 

But as with all thing the company grows and they want to store higher.

 

Table 12.6.2.2 Quantity Limitations for unprotected Liquid Warehouses will
allow 10’-0” of class II and 15’-0” of class IIIB 

 

So my understanding is that unprotected is defined as not protected to NFPA
#30, so based on Table 12.6.2.2 they can store these products to the heights
noted even thou the area is sprinkled to NFPA #13 Ordinary hazard group 2.

 

Am I missing something?

 

 

Thank you
