Wasn't there a time when there was a figure associated with 5.3.1.1.3

Wasn't there a time when there was a figure associated with 5.3.1.1.3

Wasn't there a time when there was a figure associated with 5.3.1.1.3

(OP)
I have a building with 22 year old QR sprinklers that I will send out for UL testing as per 25, 5.3.1.1.1.3.

I thought there was a recommendation of how many per 100 or percentage in 25. I sure don't see it now.

Thx
Dave
