What is the typical maximum coverage area for Extra Hazard sprinkler heads?

The typical maximum coverage area for Extra Hazard sprinkler heads is indeed 90-130 square feet. This classification of sprinkler systems is designed for areas where extra care needs to be taken due to the presence of severe fire hazards. The coverage area is narrower than for other classifications because Extra Hazard environments require more precise and concentrated fire protection to effectively control potential fire risks.

By limiting the coverage area, the system can ensure that each sprinkler head delivers a sufficient amount of water to suppress flames in high-risk situations. This regulatory standard is in place to enhance safety measures in environments such as manufacturing facilities or warehouses where flammable or hazardous materials may be present. Understanding these coverage specifications is essential in designing systems that comply with safety regulations and meet the demands of the unique environments they serve.
