NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, does not provide the user with discharge criteria when the storage occupancy has a sloped ceiling over 2 in 12. This session will discuss a theoretical approach to determining such criteria on a case-by-case basis using computer models and successful fire testing. The goal is to determine the number and location of sprinklers likely to operate, as well as the pressure and flow necessary to discharge from the sprinklers to control or suppress the fire below.
