Presenter: Scott Hanson, Reliable Fire
This presentation focuses on protecting high challenge rack storage using ceiling only sprinklers and ceiling sprinklers complimented with in-rack sprinklers. The goal in this presentation is to point out recent changes (and additions) to the protection schemes used for protecting rack storage. The changes covered come from NFPA-13 (2016) which now includes different design schemes for protecting exposed expanded plastics and FM Data Sheet 8-9, which has made changes to both their ceiling only and in-rack protection schemes. A Performance Based Design scheme option using extended coverage large orifice sprinklers for in-rack protection will also be discussed.
