Again, without any information about which codes are in effect, you should start with the IMC as I indicated earlier. No one on this list can actually give you an answer, and, as Ron has shown, sprinklering everything is not always the correct answer. Craig's response is pretty much what is necessary. In the absence of other information, perhaps you will have to hire someone to make the assessment.

Quite honestly you should throw this back to the owner/GC to have a mechanical engineer or vendor determine what is required per code. There are several conditions to be considered. Craig L.

I have a job where they have a small furnace to create molten metal for castings. There is a hood (2x8ft) above the area where they take the used probes and clean them off. This duct work goes outside to a dust collector. How do I determine if sprinklers are needed in the hood and ductwork?
