Oops.. typo. Yes, and also would like to share the cause or the organic storage (also barged to composting facility in NJ) building burning to the ground this past spring. Unofficially told that the testing company left the isolation piv closed that feeds that building. Still in litigation. Couldn't get in, very curious as to what hazard they used. TD
Tom, Just a clarification...I assume you mean to type 0.60/2000. And the placard indicated they were using an adjustment for a dry system, which in my book is a 30% design areas increase, bringing the system design to 0.60/2600 ft2. Of course the pump wasn't designed for this, or even the 0.60/2000, but was certainly adequate to control the fire that occurred with 8 heads operating at a minimum of 60 gpm. I think that it would be useful to capture actual system performance in these challenging storage fires, to provide feedback to the protection committee.
