Sirs:
I understand that there is no limit for roof height (deflector height) in NFPA 13 for sprinklers with 5.6K.
Beyond that, is it good practice to design with 5.6 K at 60 ft, or they should be with a higher discharge coefficient? I have read discussions on this issue about vaporizing of wáter but have found no technical basis to provide a higher K.
Occupancy is Convention Center, taking it as OH II.
thanks
