Michael,
At NIST, Boulder we have sprinklers in gas cabinets with HBr/BCl3/Cl2 as per code and discussions with our Health and Safety Department and site fire protection engineer.
Cheers,
John

Subject: [labnetwork] Fire Suppression for Gas Cabinets (HBr/BCl3/Cl2)

Hello All,

We are installing 2 new cabinets in our cleanroom for toxic gasses. One will house Hbr & BCl3, the other Cl2 & N2 (purge). We have very limited experience dealing with these gasses and I am wondering if anyone can offer and advice with regards to best methods/practice for fire suppression in each of the cabinets.

Thanks in advance,
