I work a great deal in the heritage/museum/gallery/kibrary area and
would advise great caution in listening to salesmen.
FM 200 is most certainly not the widest used system for museum and
gallery protection - sprinklers and water mist are much more
commonly used. You should note tthat there are life safety,
overpressure and possible corrosion issues involved in specifying
chemical gas systems.
Have a look at NFPA 909 and 914.
There is also specific guidance on the use of fire fighting agents
in a research paper by the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural
Heritage ' Manual Fire Extinguishing Equipment for the Protection of
Heritage'. I will try and find a pdf of the report which makes it
very clear that while all fire fighting agents will damage
artefacts, water in the correct amount is the best fire fighting
agent for virtually all cultural resources.
If you have any more questions respond to me off line.
Best wishes

PS Great event in Phoenix, guys ! (Only sorry I had to go early).
I know that for museum of historical documents and paintngs FM-200
systems are the most common.
But what is the best fire protections system for a museum
holdings the below materials:
- Precious stone jewelry (Diamond, Pearl, Sapphire, ...).
- Precious metal jewelry (Gold, Silver, platinum,..).
- Fabrics (wool, silk & valvet, ...).
- Handicrafts (Made of Ivory, Bone, leather ...).
Does anyone have an experience on such a museum fire protection?
Thanks,
Reza
