Session 1A: Evaluating Fire Protection for Mini-Load Automatic Storage and Retrieval Systems Mini-load automatic storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) are becoming very prevalent in warehouse occupancies as they allow for rapid product selection in a condensed storage arrangement.

Session 1A: Evaluating Fire Protection for Mini-Load Automatic Storage and Retrieval Systems

Mini-load automatic storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) are becoming very prevalent in warehouse

occupancies as they allow for rapid product selection in a condensed storage arrangement. However, most

ASRS arrangements include either plastic trays or open-top plastic containers. A research program was

conducted at FM Global to determine if mini-load type ASRS arrangements could be treated the equivalent

of open-frame racks for the ceiling-level sprinkler protection design purposes. This session will discuss the

research program test methodology as well as its conclusions.

Bonus Session: NFPA 13 Chapter 21 – What is it & How Can You Benefit From It?

In 2013 a new chapter (Chapter 21) was added to NFPA 13 entitled Alternative Sprinkler System Designs

for Chapters 12 Through 20. This session will discuss why this new chapter was added, how it may offer

alternative designs for you, as well as some of the rules that you need to be aware of before applying it.
