Is the powdered product combustible? Likely yes. Then It is likely class 3 . Powder may be explosion hazard like flour or grain dust.

It is food grade powders used in food and medical use. it is stored in fiberboard containers on pallets exactly as shown in this link ( http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=23417&catid=692). I have gone through the examples and read the paragraphs on classification, but am not sure which it is. I am thinking Class II and 1 upgrade for the pallets. I don't think they are reinforced since they are always breaking them. -- *Jay Stough* NICET IV LAYOUT NICET III ITM _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org
