Does anyone know of a dry-chemical or equivalent fire suppression system that can be used in cold environments (as low as -20 degrees Fahrenheit)?
The space to be protected is a testing chamber approximately 8 feet by 11 feet (made of combustible materials). Automatic fire extinguishers are not an option as they don't have any UL rating. Thanks in advance. Posted anonymously for discussion. Discuss This | Submit Your Question | Subscribe

Is the travel distance requirement for fire extinguishers in NFPA 10 measured like means of egress travel distance, or "as the crow flies"?
I've seen plans recently that just have a 75-foot radius around an extinguisher proving coverage and wasn't sure if that's the proper way to measure travel distance for extinguishers. Posted anonymously for discussion. Discuss This | Submit Your Question | Subscribe |
