Warehouse fire sprinkler design

Sprinkler design for warehouses must account for storage height, rack configuration and commodity class. EN 12845 HHS categories cover ST1–ST6 with corresponding density / area of operation curves.

Design parameters

StandardEN 12845
Hazard classHHS (High Hazard Storage)
Design density7.5–30 mm/min depending on storage height
Area of operation260–300 m²

Design notes

  • Classify commodity per EN 12845 Annex B before fixing density
  • Use ESFR heads for racked storage above 9 m where layout permits
  • Add in-rack sprinklers for storage above the listed maximum free height
  • Pump duty point sized to the most demanding remote area

Typical equipment

  • ESFR K360 sprinklers
  • DN150 wet alarm valve
  • Diesel + electric pump set
  • Hydrant ring 6 bar
