The Globe Standard Response GL Series Sprinklers are a low
profi le yet durable design which utilizes a 5mm frangible glass
ampule as the thermosensitive element. While the Standard
Response Sprinkler provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance,
it can be installed wherever standard spray sprinklers are
specifi ed when allowed by the applicable standards. It offers
the additional feature of greatly increased safety to life and is
available in various styles, orifi ces, temperature ratings and fi nishes
to meet varying design requirements. Standard Response
Sprinklers should be used advisedly and under the direction of
approving authorities having jurisdiction.
The heart of Globe's GL Series sprinkler proven actuating
assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule that
contains a precisely measured amount of fl uid. When heat is
absorbed, the liquid within the bulb expands increasing the
internal pressure. At the prescribed temperature the internal
pressure within the ampule exceeds the strength of the glass
causing the glass to shatter. This results in water discharge which is
distributed in an approved pattern depending upon the defl ector
style used.
