hii The warehouse is storing steel construction materials.Considering storage as ordinary hazard ,am taking the minimum area consideration as 139 m2.
There are many experts out here in this forum and I request their help in this problem. 1)Is the minimum area to be considered is 465 m2 for a foam sprinkler sytem? 2)Suppose ,if thats the case,Do we need to add the hosestream allowance to the calculated foam waterdemand for deciding the Pump capacity? Total area of warehouse is about 9540 m2(102690 ft2) and foam sprinklered area is about 500 m2. Please give your insights.
