Fire Extinguishers

A dry powder stored pressure ABC/BC type fire extinguisher is a type of portable fire extinguisher that uses a dry chemical powder to extinguish fires. The stored pressure design means that the extinguisher contains both the dry chemical powder and the compressed air needed to expel it, all within a single unit.

The dry powder used in these types of fire extinguishers is a mixture of monoammonium phosphate and ammonium sulfate, which is effective for extinguishing fires caused by Class A, B, and C fires. Class A fires are those that involve ordinary combustibles such as wood, paper, or cloth, while Class B fires are those that involve flammable liquids or gases. Class C fires involve electrical equipment, such as computers or appliances, which can become energized and dangerous if water is used to extinguish the fire.

A CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) fire extinguisher is a type of portable fire extinguisher that uses carbon dioxide gas to extinguish fires. It is typically used on Class B and Class C fires, which involve flammable liquids and electrical equipment, respectively. The CO2 gas works by displacing the oxygen that fuels the fire, suffocating it.

CO2 fire extinguishers are non-conductive and leave no residue, making them ideal for use on electrical fires. They are also safe to use on delicate equipment and do not cause damage to surfaces or materials. However, they are not recommended for use on Class A fires, which involve ordinary combustibles such as wood, paper, or cloth. When using a CO2 fire extinguisher, it is important to aim the nozzle at the base of the fire and sweep it from side to side until the fire is completely out. It is also important to use the extinguisher from a safe distance and to avoid inhaling the carbon dioxide gas, which can be harmful in high concentrations.

A water fire extinguisher is a type of portable fire extinguisher that uses water to extinguish fires. There are two main types of water fire extinguishers: the stored pressure type and the gas cartridge type.The stored pressure type contains water and compressed air within the same cylinder. When the extinguisher is activated, the compressed air forces the water out of the nozzle and onto the fire. The gas cartridge type, on the other hand, uses a small gas cartridge to expel the water from the cylinder.

Water fire extinguishers are typically used on Class A fires, which involve ordinary combustibles such as wood, paper, or cloth. They are not recommended for use on Class B or Class C fires, which involve flammable liquids and electrical equipment, respectively. When using a water fire extinguisher, it is important to aim the nozzle at the base of the fire and to sweep it from side to side until the fire is completely out

A mechanical foam fire extinguisher is a type of portable fire extinguisher that uses a foam solution to extinguish fires. There are two main types of mechanical foam fire extinguishers: the stored pressure type and the gas cartridge type.Mechanical foam fire extinguishers are typically used on Class B fires, which involve flammable liquids such as gasoline, oil, or grease. The foam solution creates a barrier between the fuel and the oxygen, smothering the fire and preventing it from reigniting.

The stored pressure type contains the foam solution and compressed air within the same cylinder. When the extinguisher is activated, the compressed air forces the foam out of the nozzle and onto the fire. The gas cartridge type, on the other hand, uses a small gas cartridge to expel the foam solution from the cylinder.

A water fire extinguisher is a type of portable fire extinguisher that uses water to extinguish fires. There are two main types of water fire extinguishers: the stored pressure type and the gas cartridge type.The stored pressure type contains water and compressed air within the same cylinder. When the extinguisher is activated, the compressed air forces the water out of the nozzle and onto the fire. The gas cartridge type, on the other hand, uses a small gas cartridge to expel the water from the cylinder.

Water fire extinguishers are typically used on Class A fires, which involve ordinary combustibles such as wood, paper, or cloth. They are not recommended for use on Class B or Class C fires, which involve flammable liquids and electrical equipment, respectively. When using a water fire extinguisher, it is important to aim the nozzle at the base of the fire and to sweep it from side to side until the fire is completely out

A dry chemical powder BC/ABC trolley mounted type fire extinguisher is a type of portable fire extinguisher that uses dry chemical powder to extinguish fires. It is mounted on a trolley for easy mobility and transportation, making it ideal for large industrial or commercial settings.

The dry chemical powder used in BC/ABC fire extinguishers is a mixture of monoammonium phosphate and ammonium sulfate, which is effective for extinguishing fires caused by Class B and Class C fires. Class B fires involve flammable liquids or gases, while Class C fires involve electrical equipment.

A clean agent fire extinguisher is a type of portable fire extinguisher that uses a gas or liquid that is safe for use on delicate electronic equipment and sensitive materials. The clean agents used in these extinguishers are typically halocarbon or hydrofluorocarbon gases, which do not leave any residue or damage the equipment or materials they are used on.

Clean agent fire extinguishers are typically used on Class A, B, and C fires, which involve ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, and electrical equipment, respectively. They are particularly useful in settings where the use of water or foam could cause damage or disrupt sensitive equipment or materials.
