When we have had this in the past, I have just used the 0.2 listing of the head and calc the 2500 sq ft. I think you have to meet the minimum listing of the head for your density and I don't believe you can extrapolate. Since the 0.15 density is not adequate, I have always had to go up to the 0.2 listing of the head. More water and bigger pipe.

I'm having a brain cramp and could use some help. I'm working on a retail
store and the engineer has called for Tyco EC-11 heads with a .18/2500
density. I realize the .18/2500 falls on the OH-2 curve but the cut sheet
for the head is rated at .20/1500 for OH-2. How would you go about designing
to these specs?
