Topic
Protection of storage occupancies with automatic fire sprinklers continues to evolve as customers demand flexibility with regard to types of commodity, height of storage, and racking schemes. In cooperation with a major retailer, Reliable has completed seven full scale fire tests to address these issues. This presentation will review the test protocol, the test results, and minimum recommendations for various storage schemes, with a major focus on minimizing overall water demands for systems.
