DCP stands for dry chemical powder. This is most often found in certain types of fire extinguishers, and they can be used to extinguish the following: * Class A fires which involve "ordinary combustibles" such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber and many plastics. * Class B fires which involve flammable liquids, oils, greases, tars, oil-based paints and flammable gases. * Class C fires which involve energized electrical equipment. Certain parts of the world use DCP tenders (or tankers). This is a vehicle with a large tank of dry chemical powder. This practice is rare if not unused in the United States, but is found in nations such as India.
The full form of DCP is Deputy Commissioner Of Police.
deputy commissioner of police
deputy commissioner of police
In case of hospital fire we can use FM-200,inertgas system in ICU and patient wards and CO2,DCP,Water in rest place.
Since petroleum is a flammable liquid, a Class B fire extinguisher would be used.
Because mono ammonium phosphate itsself is a excellent fire retardant, that is very it is used in the DCP fire extinguisher.
In a 5 kg DCP cartridge type extinguisher .the co2 cartridge pressure becomes 7 kg/cm2.
tell me what kind of fire extingting ushers should not be used on ???
The expiry time of a DCP fire extinguisher is usually around seven years. After this, the powder should be replaced. Additionally, these extinguishers should be checked yearly to ensure all parts are present and that the seals are intact.
basically in DCP (dry chemical powder) fire extinguishers mono ammoniumphosphate is used. but some more chemicals compound are also used e.g. sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, pottasium chloride etc.
Nitrogen is preferred over carbon dioxide as a propellant in DCP (dry chemical powder) fire fighting systems because nitrogen is an inert gas, which means it does not react with the chemicals in the dry powder. This ensures the stability and effectiveness of the fire extinguishing agent. In contrast, carbon dioxide can react with some dry chemical powders, potentially reducing the extinguishing efficiency of the system.
