FIRE EXTINGHUSHER

Selection Of Fire Extinguishers

Various types of fire extinguishers specified in this standard are of value but all are not equally effective on all types of fire. For this reason, the nature of contents of a building, the processes carried out therein and the types of fire which may occur shall be taken into consideration while selecting fire extinguishers. For all practical purposes, the basic types of fires can be grouped into following four classes:
  • Class A Fire –Fires involving solid combustible materials of organic nature such as wood, paper, rubber, plastics, etc, where the cooling effect of water is essential for extinction of fires.
  • Class B Fire – Fires involving flammable liquids or liquefiable or the like where a blanketing effect is essential.
  • Class C Fire – fires Fires involving flammable gases under pressure including liquefied gases, where it is necessary to inhibit the burning gas at fast rate with an inert gas, powder or vaporising liquid for extinguishment.
  • Class D Fire – Fires involving combustible metals, such as magnesium, aluminium, zinc, sodium, potassium, etc, when the burning metals are reactive to water and water containing agents and in certain cases carbon dioxide, halogenated hydrocarbons and ordinary dry powder. These fires required special media and techniques to extinguish.

FIRE EXTINGHUSHER

Suitability Of Portable Fire Extinguishers

The types of extinguishers mentioned below
against each class of fire are generally most suited
Details of suitability as a guide of each type of
extinguisher is shown in Table 3. It may, however, be
noted that this is only for guidance and does not cover
special cases

  • Class A Fire –Water, foam, ABC dry powder
    and halocarbons.
  • Class B Fire – Foam, dry powder, clean agent
    and carbon dioxide extinguishers
  • Class C Fire – Dry powder, clean agent and carbon dioxide extinguisher.
  • Class D Fire – Extinguisher with special dry powder for metal fires

Kitchen Fire

Kitchen Fire
cooking oils, greases and animal fats are used

  • A broad, dispersed discharge of agent that delivers a high volume, low velocity delivery of wet chemical which does not cause the cooking oil to splash.
  • Changes in frying oils from animal fats to vegetable oils have reduced the ability of Multipurpose ABC Fire Extinguishers to extinguish many kitchen fires. As we know Vegetable oils have a much higher auto ignition temperature than animal fats because of this Heat breaks down the weaker foam layer created and re ignition takes place.
  • Kitchen Fire Extinguishers have the ability to maintain the foamy layer enough to allow complete cooling.
  • Clean agent is an electrically Non Conductive & low in toxicity Protect data in process, reduces equipment damage, facilitate fast return to service.
  • In addition, these wet chemical agents pose minimal damage threat to hot appliances.
