Building loads may use a different safety factor

from the 2019 NFPA 13     table A.18.5.9
4" sch 10    11.78 lbs/ft   if hangers are  every 10'  that's  117.8 lbs
at each hanger.  hangers every 15'  177lbs.

Sprinkler design safety factor is 5 times + 250 lbs
they MAY  design a  5 times dead load  on roof   ... with a maximum point
load

(and let's not get into Seismic)
