Question
A two-story office building totaling 18783 ft2 is interpreted as a light hazard (200 ft2/sprinkler from Table 11.1). If black steel pipe is used, determine the riser size. Fill in the size of the pipe. If 2 1/2 in., input 2.5. Or see below. You should first determine how many sprinklers are there using area / [200ft2/sq], and then check this table, and find the size of the pipe. This is a light hazard classification, and the material is steel. You should look at the left-most column.
