Sorry about that Ron, I get carried away. I should have stopped with '...paradox...', since it addressed spacing and detection. It is pretty hard to leave time out of battling accidental fires though, it being of the utmost importance, so we have flow rates, heat release rates, response time index...

This was a question about philosophy and history, not math and time. Let's try again, and the bathroom compartmentalization thread is similar to what I'd like some feedback on. Most discussion about spacing rules revolve around arguments relating to distribution. I'm wondering how many are based on heat detection. For instance, why can I use an XYZ SSP head to cover 225 sq in light hazard but not ordinary. Since I'm after density over square footage I can certainly accomplish this prohibited feat. But after a given edition we are suddenly required to use QR heads for light hazard for some unspecified reason. That certainly doesn't have anything to do with coverage. _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org
