If the AHJ is the building code offical the sprinkler system needs to be designed in accordance with the building code referenced NFPA standards. The system should have been designed to protect yhe configuration of the liquids storage.

Otherwise, this logic would mean that a light hazard classification is adequate. Roland Huggins, PE - Senior VP Engineering American Fire Sprinkler Assn.

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 James Crawford Phaser Fire Protection Ltd.
