What is the critical temperature range for "standard response" sprinkler heads?

"Standard response" sprinkler heads are typically designed to activate at a specific temperature range to ensure they respond effectively in a fire situation. The critical temperature range for these types of sprinkler heads is between 155°F and 175°F. This range is essential because it allows the sprinkler to respond appropriately to the heat generated by a fire, ensuring timely activation to suppress the flames and minimize damage.

Sprinklers that operate in this temperature range are particularly effective in various commercial and residential applications, where the risk of fire may vary depending on the occupancy and materials present. The selection of the correct temperature rating is crucial to ensure that the sprinkler system functions as intended without any premature activation that could lead to unnecessary water damage or insufficient response in actual fire conditions.
