8.1 The design density and the assumed maximum area of operation
for various types of risks are as specified below and also see Table
2.
8.1.3 HIGH HAZARD: The density of water discharge for process risks
shall be at least 10 lpm/m2 over an assumed area of operation
covering 260 m2

8.1.4.3In case of high hazard storage risks, the nature of the hazard is
determined by the height of storage, storage aisle width and area
of each storage block. In other words, goods stored not higher
than what is stated in Table 4 below for the appropriate category
or not higher than the eaves height of the roofs or within 1M of a
flat ceiling whichever is the lowest shall be regarded as high
hazard storage.

TABLE - 4
8.1.5.3If the top of the storage in the top tiers of the racks or shelves is
within 3 M of the roof sprinklers, top tiers need not be protected
by the intermediate sprinklers. However, the other tiers shall
need to be sprinklered.
8.1.5.4The aisle width between the storage stacks shall not be less
than 2.5 meters and the maximum area of each storage stack
shall not be more than 150 m2. If these parameters are
exceeded, the design density applicable shall be loaded by 2.5
LPM/M 2 .
8.1.5.5In case of mixed storage (both ordinary and high hazard storage)
in buildings, the parameters will be governed by the most
hazardous occupancy.
8.2.1 LIGHT HAZARD: For the design density and the AMAO specified
the water supply running pressure at the installation valve shall
not be less than 2.2 bars plus the static pressure equivalent of
the height of the highest sprinkler in the installation above the
"C" gauge when a water is being discharged at a flow rate of 225
LPM.
8.2.2 Ordinary hazard: For the design density and the AMAO
specified, the water supply running pressure at the installation
valve shall not be less than 2 bars plus the static pressure
equivalent of the height of the highest sprinkler in the installation
above the "C" gauge when water is being discharged at a flow
rate of 1800 LPM or 1.5 bars plus the static pressure
equivalent as stated above when the flow rate is 2100 LPM.
