Does NFPA 13 address unpackaged bulk storage such as piled grain warehouse? 1

[Alireza01]

Hi
I didn't find any regulation about automatic fire protection system design for unpackaged bulk storage such as piled grain warehouse.
Is it effective to install sprinkler system for such these warehouses?
Is there any criteria for such system design (like NFPA 13)?

There are some few references to granular materials in table A.20.4(b) of NFPA 13

Thank you for your replies.
I have some uncertainties about sprinkler system consideration for high roof piled grain warehouses.
1- Since the combustible contents of the warehouse are not integrated solid substances (particulate solid) and possible fire is a surface fire, So I think spraying water is not very effective ( Water is quickly transferred to the bottom of the grain mass)
2- Due to the height of the roof (about 12m), will the heat of the fire cause the sprinkler to activate?
