on first sorry for my english :)

This is my first question on this forum. I have problem with my design

The object is a warehouse and cutroom of poliuretans foam(?). This product is used to make furnitures.
I think this is plastics group A, solid piled or palletized. From NFPA13 7-2.3.2.2 there is EH2 discharge criterium. I thought about A=232*1,3 m2 area of sprinkler installation and 16,3mm density with spray sprinkler 3/4" and K=115. Am I right??

Maybe I will use large drop sprinklers?

Thanks
Natka
 
Additional information is required to help determine the actual design parameters. The height of storage in both the warehouse and cutroom, the pile sizes, aisle spacing, ceiling height, cartoned or exposed,etc.

Refer to the 2002 Edition of NFPA 13, section 12.2.3.1.1. Follow the decision tree for Group A plastics (polyurethane foam) to determine the sprinkler system protection requirements. Good luck!
