What are the 4 Classis of extinguishers?
There are four classes of fire extinguishers – A, B, C and D – and each class can put out a different type of fire. Multipurpose extinguishers can be used on different types of fires and will be labeled with more than one class, like A-B, B-C or A-B-C.
What is Naf fire extinguisher?
NAF-SIII (HCFC Blend A) is an ad- vanced fire extinguishing agent originally developed as a clean agent replacement for Halon 1301. It pro- vides the fast and efficient knock-down capabilities of halon without its adverse environmental impact.
Which Gasis used in fire extinguisher?
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is stored in extinguishers in the liquid phase. It vaporizes when released thereby smothering a fire by excluding the air (oxygen) needed for combustion.
What is Naf gas?
NAF S 125 is a UL Recognized and US EPA SNAP Listed gaseous extinguishing agent. NAF S 125 Engineered Systems are UL Listed.
Why is argon used in fire extinguishers?
Argon extinguishes a fire by displacing oxygen. When oxygen levels fall below the limit required for combustion, the fire is extinguished. Argon is found naturally in the air and thus does not have an adverse effect on the atmosphere. No other extinguishing gas has such an excellent environmental track record.
What is FM200 gas?
FM200 is a non-flammable gas used for fire suppression. It doesn’t damage electronic products, used correctly it’s safe for people to breathe in and can be used in an enclosed space, making it ideal for colocation data centres.
What is Halon made of?
A halon may be any of a group of organohalogen compounds containing bromine and fluorine and one or two carbons. The effectiveness of halons in extinguishing fires arises from their action in interrupting chain reactions that propagate the combustion process.
Why is argon better than helium?
Helium-Argon gas mixtures are sometimes used in GTAW as they can strike a balance between the properties of both gases. Argon has a higher molecular weight than helium does. So there is more energy imparted to surface of the metal. Thus it will “clean better”.
Which fire extinguisher is most popular?
Carbon dioxide is the most commonly used gas for extinguishing a fire.
How much pressure is in a CO2 fire extinguisher?
about 55 bar
CO2 fire extinguishers contain carbon dioxide gas (CO2) under very high pressure (about 55 bar at room temperature) and can be easily recognised by their flute-shaped discharge horn.
