Metal fire.
E.g. burning Magnesia, Lithium, Sodium, Copper, Aluminium;
Class D, combustible metals.
Class D
An electrical fire is a class 'C' fire. In addition, Class 'A' is combustibles that leave an ash. (Paper, etc.) Class 'B' is flammable liquids. Class 'C' is electrical. Class 'D' is a metal fire.
A class D fire extinguisher is used for fighting class D fires. Class D fires are metal fires involving magnesium, potassium, sodium and sodium-potassium alloys. The class D extinguishers are mostly used in the aircraft industry, auto body shops and factories working with metal.
No, hence them being Class D fire extinguishers they are only used on combustible metal fires. there are different class d extinguishers as well for specific metal fires no one class d extinguisher on all metal fires mostly very specific
Class d fire
A class D fire extinguisher is used for fighting class D fires. Class D fires are metal fires involving magnesium, potassium, sodium and sodium-potassium alloys. The class D extinguishers are mostly used in the aircraft industry, auto body shops and factories working with metal.
It's NOT class A - which is flammable solids. Electrical fires are class C (burning liquids are class B, burning metals are class D)
reactive metals
Class D Class D fire extinguishers are used for various types of flammable metals. A class D fire extinguisher can contain sodium chloride, graphite, or copper powder. A sodium chloride fire extinguisher would be used on metals containing magnesium, sodium, potassium, and sodium-potassium alloys. Copper and graphite fire extinguishers would be used for lithium and lithium alloy fires.
A class D fire extinguisher is used for fighting class D fires. Class D fires are metal fires involving magnesium, potassium, sodium and sodium-potassium alloys. The class D extinguishers are mostly used in the aircraft industry, auto body shops and factories working with metal.
Class D, for metal fires.
