09-Storage Sprinklers-CMDA

The document discusses storage sprinkler requirements in NFPA 13, 2019 edition. It outlines three main types of sprinklers used in storage: control mode density area sprinklers, control mode specific application sprinklers, and early suppression fast response sprinklers. It provides details on the installation requirements for these sprinkler types in various chapters. It also discusses ceiling height requirements, K-factor requirements based on density level, and includes examples of designing sprinkler systems for storage using control mode density area sprinklers.
