I've seen comments like this several times and really wonder the justification for it. Case in point. Specified .20 over 1500, no combustibles or flammables, industrial application. Suitable for the Chemical Plants-Ordinary category out of 13.
Reviewer comes back with recommendation of .17 over 3,000. Based on what has been written of most fires being controlled by fewer than 3 heads, what's the perceived advantage of the larger design area in an environment of limited to no combustibles? Building is "H" occupancy due to toxicity hence requiring sprinklers throughout otherwise it would easily and without argument be an F-2. Craig L.
