Dewayne,

I believe the table is referring to orifice size, not thread size.  Yes an 8K 
is 17/32” orifice.

NFPA 13 (2013) Table A.6.2.3.1 outlines orifice size based on K-factor.

Thanks,
Sean VG

Subject: 17/32" in-rack sprinkler

When the table calls for ½” in-rack sprinklers at 30psi and 17/32” at 15psi can 
I use ¾” k=8.0 for the 17/32”?
Thanks,
Dewayne
