NFPA 13, Ch. 17 Protection of plastic commodities
(OP)
Can somebody help me here...I'm trying to find the design requirements for double-row rack storage, of Group A Plastics,exposed,expanded. The building has a sloped ceiling (2 in 12 slope) with 35 ft to the highest point. Storage height varies from 16ft to 25 ft max. None of the tables/figures from NFPA 13 Ch.17 applies here. Is there something else in the code that will allow combination of different requirements so that I can apply it to this case?
Thanks!
Thanks!

It appears that you could make K25 ESFR work using a 12-hds@60-psi design. This design is for exposed expanded plastics up to 25-ft high in up to a 40-ft building.
See Tyco Data Sheet TFP312 for details.
You could also make K14 ESFR work using 12-hds@100-psi, if a "false ceiling" were installed at 30-ft.

With all the latest revisions to these two data sheets and your commodity, I would spend some quality time ensuring you understand all of the new requirements.
