Overview
Sprinkler systems are the most common automatic suppression for factories, warehouses and towers. Heads are chosen by K-factor, temperature rating, response type (standard, quick) and orientation (upright, pendent, sidewall).
High-piled storage may need ESFR or CMSA heads to NFPA 13 or FM Global data sheets. Design must follow TCVN 7336:2021 and be approved; heads need UL/FM listing when the investor or insurer requires it.
Uses
