What sprinkler design criteria is acceptable for an Ordinary Hazard 2 horse stable?
For an Ordinary Hazard 2 horse stable, the sprinkler design criteria typically include a density of 0.10 to 0.15 gallons per minute per square foot over the most remote 1,500 square feet. Sprinklers should be installed with a minimum spacing of 12 feet apart, and a maximum of 15 feet from walls. Additionally, system design should account for potential high heat release rates from bedding and feed materials. Proper water supply and hydraulic calculations must ensure adequate pressure and flow for effective suppression.

What are the automatic sprinkler requirements for an ordinary-hazard group 1 occupancy?
Ordinary Hazard Group 1 density is 0.15 gpm/sq ft over 1500 sq ft if wet pipe system Ordinary Hazard Group II density is 0.20 gpm/sq ft over 1500 sq ft if wet pipe system (according to NFPA 13) There are factors that can change the density and area requirements depending on variou sfactors, but in general the above densities/area are correct.
What is the area per head limitation for a extended coverage ordinary hazard sprinkler head?
There are many options available from multiple manufacturers listed for your desired use in ordinary hazard. Depending on storage arrangements + heights, commodity classification of combusitbles (groupI, II,III etc). Standard-spray sprinkler coverage is around 130sq.ft. Extended can be up to 400sq.ft. depending on water pressure and flow characteristics available. 16x16, 18x18, and 20x20 are the most common spray pattern coverage area's of extended coverage sprinklers. That is just scratching the surface, many factors come into play when selecting the appropriate sprinkler head for any given application. Cheers~

What is an average commercial sprinkler density in GPM per Sq Ft?
The average commercial sprinkler density typically ranges from 0.1 to 0.3 gallons per minute (GPM) per square foot, depending on the type of occupancy and the fire hazard classification. For instance, light hazard areas may require lower densities, while higher hazard areas may necessitate higher densities. It's essential to consult local fire codes and standards, such as NFPA 13, for specific requirements related to sprinkler system design.

Sprinkler coverage area for extra hazard heads?
Extra hazard occupancies require densities of either 0.30 gpm/sq ft or 0.40 gpm/sq ft, for which the maximum head layout is 100 sq ft per NFPA 13. There are some sprinkler heads in the market that allow coverages up to 196 sq ft with a special listing. Tyco EC-25 and EC-17, and Reliable MBEC-14 are some of the heads that can be used with certain restrictions.
What is nfpa ordinary -hazard group 1?
NFPA Ordinary Hazard Group 1 refers to a classification for fire protection purposes, particularly in the context of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards. This group includes occupancies that present a moderate fire hazard due to the presence of ordinary combustibles, such as wood, paper, and some textiles, but with limited quantities of flammable liquids or hazardous materials. Examples include offices, retail stores, and certain types of warehouses. The classification helps in determining the appropriate fire suppression systems and safety measures needed to mitigate fire risks.
Is church considered nfpa light hazard?
Probably not. NFPA 1 "Hazard of Contents" are defined as High (with 5 levels), Ordinary or Low. The only occupancies that have "low" rating are those primarily for storage of non-combustibles. A church is primarily an assembly occupancy and could not be rated as "low hazard", based upon the risks to numerous human occupants. Types of occupancies other than "storage", even if incidentally storing non-combustibles, would qualify as an "ordinary" hazard, under the theory that some combustible materials will be introduced or hazardous operations conducted, or some psychological factor introduced in case of any fire or other emergency, thus requiring at least "ordinary" fire prevention and means of egress.

Is it acceptable to taste a chemical in a laboratory if it is not hazardous?
In a laboratory (that is not a food laboratory designed for tasting) is it never acceptable to taste a chemical because you cannot know for certain that it is not hazardous. You can be misinformed about a hazard, the container can be mislabeled, or the material can be contaminated with a hazardous materials, for example.
