The Public Comment was initially accepted by the TC and resulted in Second Revision (SR) # 212. However, the Correlating Committee subsequently overturned the SR # 212 relegating the SR to CC # 212. Additionally, the Correlating Committee may or may not have created a Second Correlating Revision (SCR) # SCR-1-NFPA Accordingly, a NITMAM could be submitted to accept the resulting CC since this accomplishes that same action as 'accepting" the PC or to reject the SCR.

Again as my common voting comment: The proposed Scheme E is linked to the justification provided in Public Comment No. 52, which was associated with the test results of a single fire test conducted at UL. The protection recommendations are based on a single spill scenario and a single ignition source location. The two sprinklers that operated during the test both activated at 6 seconds after ignition, which leads to questions of whether a more delayed or relocated ignition or spill location, perhaps to a higher location in the rack structure, might have produced unsatisfactory results. It is unprecedented to base the entire protection scheme for an unlimited area, unlimited storage quantity of drums of Class II liquids on a worst case scenario of operating 3 in-rack sprinklers, particularly when that basis represents a single fire test and contemplates only a single additional operating sprinkler beyond the two that operated in the cited test as the factor of safety.

Based on its review, the technical committee agrees that this new table provides acceptable fire protection system design criteria for the commodities to which the table applies.

18 7 of 27 12/12/ :23 PM This protection scheme for unlimited storage height was extrapolated from one fire test which does not represent a reasonable worst case scenario of what the protection scheme aims to protect. That fire test did not address the possibility that a spill fire originating at the top and spilling down the face of a storage arrangement greater than four barrier levels tall may open more than the seven sprinklers (three at the top level and two on each of the next two lower levels) required to be calculated and / or involve ceiling sprinklers which are not required to be calculated. The protection scheme should not permit unlimited height without requiring hydraulic consideration of all sprinkler levels or proving with multiple fire tests that the number of sprinkler levels involved is independent of the height of the arrangement / number of barrier levels below the spill fire level of origin. LeBlanc, John A. The testing that was done used a ~34 ft high rack (4 tiers of filled drums, 3 tiers of empty drums) in a 48 ft high building. Actual filled drums were only used in the lower 4 tiers of the rack. The spill location was located at the bottom of the third tier instead of at the bottom of the highest stored drum. Two barrier/in-rack levels were provided. No ceiling sprinklers were provided. I believe the testing has clearly shown that this in-rack arrangement will meet the goal of keeping steel drums cool when they are exposed to a spill fire, however, the next critical element, the sprinkler system design, was not validated to support unlimited storage heights and roof heights. When using large orifice, quick response sprinklers at the ceiling or as in-racks it is critical to design the sprinkler system for an adequate number of sprinklers to conserve the water supply. Past full scale fire tests by FM Global with barriers installed in racks has shown that a spill down the face of an array will operate a large number of quick response in-rack sprinklers at every barrier level. Extrapolating the test results beyond the building height and storage height tested ignores this potential. Also, if the spill was initiated at the bottom of the top level of storage, there would have been a possibility of ceiling sprinkler involvement if ceiling sprinklers were installed. Since this protection option involves the use of K 25.2 sprinklers flowing 138 gpm each, operating more sprinklers than were included in the design can quickly overtax a water supply. The bottom line is this testing does not support extrapolating the results to unlimited storage heights when large containers are being stored. Ordile, Anthony M. I am concerned about this proposed Table and Scheme being developed on a single fire test. The TC has previously developed the protection criteria Tables based on redundant large-scale fire tests. My concern about basing this on a single test is emphasized by the fact that the in-rack sprinklers operated at 6 seconds after ignition. Perhaps a second test altering the location of the spill and ignition would yield different results that could have resulted in a delay of sprinkler operation that may have also caused some drums of product to be more involved and more than 2 rack sprinklers to operate. I also have concern over the unlimited storage height involving drums, especially when standard lift trucks are involved. The unlimited ceiling height is a concern with larger containers should the spill incident occur in an aisle or staging area. Riegel, Roland A. A single test is not sufficient. There is a need for additional testing that would substantiate unlimited storage heights for drums. Additional test scenarios should evaluate if an alternate ignition source / location and subsequent fire propagation would bypass the rack sprinkler systems and operate ceiling sprinklers. Wechsler, David B. After having reviewed the committee actions, the original submittal and the response from John Leblanc on SR210- I find the complete actions on all these related changes ill advised and We should not advocate an unlimited conditions.

19 8 of 27 12/12/ :23 PM unlimited area, unlimited storage quantity of drums of Class II liquids on a worst case scenario of operating 3 in-rack sprinklers, particularly when that basis represents a single fire test and contemplates only a single additional operating sprinkler beyond the two that operated in the cited test as the factor of safety. Willse, Peter J. After reviewing John Leblanc's comments, I vote negative. Workman, Martin H. The fire test provided showed an exceptional fast operation of the sprinkler within the rack. This occurred because the fuel was ignited upon fuel release. In the past, fuel was allowed to discharge from the container prior to igniting the fuel, which would have created a spill fire and would have had slower sprinkler operation and in the long term would have activated more sprinklers within the rack area. I don't think the sprinkler operation would be realistic in a true scenario. I think the committee should reconsider this testing and ask the submitter to modify the testing scenario.

After having reviewed the committee actions, the original submittal and the response from John Leblanc on SR210- I find the complete actions on all these related changes ill advised and We should not advocate an unlimited conditions.

The protection recommendations are based on a single spill scenario and a single ignition source location. The two sprinklers that operated during the test both activated at 6 seconds after ignition, which leads to questions of whether a more delayed or relocated ignition or spill location, perhaps to a higher location in the rack structure, might have produced unsatisfactory results.
