What is MT when describing CO2 fire extinguisher?
It is just the nomenclature used in the models of fire extinguishers of certain Chinese company. MT is used to denote their CO2 fire extiguishers.
What is the use of dry ice?
Dry ice is basically solid carbon dioxide and is used in fire extinguishers.It sets on the fire and cuts off oxygen supply,which is a supporter of combustion, and hence acts as CO2 fire extinguishers.
Why does a fire extinguisher form solid CO2 when it is activated?
The reduced pressure causes the liquid CO2 in the extinguisher to boil. This lowers the temperature and some is converted into a solid. This can be used to make small quantities of dry ice in the lab.
What is in fire extinguishers co2 hydrogen nitrogen or oxygen?
Usually CO2. Hydrogen and oxygen are fuels for fire. Nitrogen would work but is not usually used as it is too light.
Gas in fire extinguishers?
yes but it is depend on nature of gas whether it is flammable or not.... co2 is fire extinguisher gas widely used ....
Do you use CO2 to extinguish Liquid Fire?
The CO2 or the dry Chemicals can be used to extinguish Liquid Fire, though other extinguishes can be used like halogen extinguishers, BUT the halogen is doesn't help as much as it harms, because it causes a toxic gas, and there is Foam extinguishers they come handy too.
What gas is used to put fires?

What does CO2 feel like?
CO2 is a gas, Carbon Dioxide. Under pressure it becomes a liquid (often used in fire extinguishers), so you would feel it then.
Can we use helium as Fire extinguisher?
No, helium is not used in fire extinguishers. We find carbon dioxide (CO2) in some extinguishers, but not helium.
Which is true of CO2 extinguishers?
THey must be used on Class B or C fires, they don't leave a corrosive residue which can damage equpiment and is difficult to clean up, and they must be used closer to the fire than other extinguishers.
Why does carbon dioxide helps to make foam that firefighters use?
it is a non-flammable gas that is effective at starving a fire of oxygen. Like other fire extinguishers (foam and water) it is only recommended for fighting certain types of fire. more infromation and recommendations on their use should be available through the fire department.
What state of matter is inside a fire extinguisher?
There are many different types of extinguishers, but many of them contain solid (dry chemical), liquid (water or foam), or compressed gas (CO2 or nitrogen).
