co2 otherwise knownas carbondioxide
The most common 'gas' in a fire extinguisher is carbon dioxide (CO2), but there are others. They include Halon 1211, Halon 1301, FM200, FE-36, Halotron I and a few more.
The gas becomes a liquid inside the extinguisher. When the extinguisher is operated, the liquid changes back to a gas when released.
There is equipment that connects from the gas tank to the fire extinguisher, and is deigned to keep from overpressurizing the extinguisher. Do NOT try this without the equipment.
Foam, dry powder or CO2 gas- a Class B extinguisher
Carbon dioxide
Carbon Dioxide
A self-contained fire extinguisher includes an extinguishing agent and usually a pressurized gas. In a CO2 extinguisher, the pressurized gas is also the agent.
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 ....
Yes, fire extinguisher gases can be harmful to humans if inhaled in large amounts. Some common fire extinguisher gases, such as carbon dioxide, can displace oxygen in the air and lead to asphyxiation in confined spaces. It is important to use fire extinguishers only in well-ventilated areas and to evacuate the area if the gas is released.
The gas extinguisher that is filled with carbon dioxide and one that is filled with foam can help put out a fire.
