Carbon dioxide.
Nitrogen can be used in fire extinguishers as gas propellant.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas often used to put out fires, especially in fire extinguishers.
Nitrogen can be used in fire extinguishers as gas propellant.
yes but it is depend on nature of gas whether it is flammable or not.... co2 is fire extinguisher gas widely used ....
It suffocates a fire. Its best used on chemicals
Carbon Dioxide is the most common gas in fire extinguishers.
The gas used in fire extinguishers is carbon dioxide. That is only for a CO2 extinguishers High pressure and no Gauge on the unit(about 2000psi). Normal Dry chemical extinguisher ABC, BC (195psi)Use Nitrogen as the propellent.
The contents of some fire extinguishers are indeed a gass (Carbon Dioxide)
No. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and a flammable material. Adding extra oxygen speeds up the reaction, making the fire burn even hotter and making it easier for the fire to spread.
The gas commonly used to fill fire extinguishers is carbon dioxide (CO2). It is effective for extinguishing fires by displacing oxygen and reducing the temperature of the flames. Other fire extinguishers may use different agents such as water, foam, or dry chemical powders depending on the type of fire.
Grenade-type extinguishers made before the mid-20th century contained carbon tetrachloride. This chemical is poisonous, carcinogenic, and, if used to fight fire, produces a poison gas previously used in warfare. They are quite dangerous.
ALL fire extinguishers are designed to put out fires. A Dry extinguisher uses a powder or gas rather than a liquid, and cuts off the oxygen to the fire. They can be used in freezing conditions where a water type extinguisher would be useless.
