AFPsprink.com -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 9:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Research Question - Group A Plastic Protection I am doing research to write a report for our Client on protecting Group A plastics displayed on Gondolas (display shelves in a store, 2010 NFPA 13 Section 20.3.3). The Client is currently being asked to protect these areas with a density of .45 gpm/ft2 over an area of 2,000 square feet. I am trying to find some UL/FM/other test data that shows sprinklers using lower densities (lower than .45/2000) able to control a fire with Group A plastics displayed on gondolas (open shelf displays apx. 8 ft tall). Any ideas? Help? Sue Stafford, S.E.T. | Associate Designer SCHIRMER ENGINEERING an Aon Global company Texas P.E. Firm Registration No. F-1593 1701 N.
