What is the composition of fire extinguishing powder?
Dry dust of mono ammonium phosphate
What is the white stuff that is in fire extinguishers?
The white stuff in fire extinguishers is typically a chemical called dry chemical powder or monoammonium phosphate. This powder is a fire suppression agent that is effective for extinguishing different types of fires, such as those involving flammable liquids, gases, and electrical equipment. When released, the powder smothers the fire and helps to cool the fuel, preventing it from reigniting.
The proper fire extinguishing agent to use on an aircraft brake fire is?
Sodium chloride dry powder
Which chemical is used in DCP fire extinguisher?
DCP fire extinguishers use dry chemical powder as the extinguishing agent, typically composed of monoammonium phosphate. This powder effectively interrupts the chemical reaction in the fire by smothering the flames and preventing re-ignition. DCP extinguishers are suitable for Class A, B, and C fires, making them versatile for various types of fires.
Can blood put out a fire, or is it not an effective extinguishing agent?
Blood is not an effective extinguishing agent for fires. Water, foam, or chemical fire extinguishers are typically used to put out fires.
Why nitrogen preferred over carbon dioxide as propellant in DCP fire fighting system?
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.
What is the name of a Grainy insoluble substance in a fire bucket?

Which type of fire extinguisher is recommended for extinguishing a metal fire?
A Class D fire extinguisher is recommended for extinguishing a metal fire.
What is hcfc 123 chemical fire extinguisher?
HCFC 123 is the raw base material use to produce a halogeanated, safe/effective and environment friendly fire extinguishing chemical agent called "halotron I". It was introduce in early 1990's to replace the "banned" fire extinguishing agents like, Halon 1211 and BCF's, which were found to have a severe ozone depleting potentials. In contrast, hcfc 123 base fire extinguishing agents has a near zero ozone depletion potentials.
The types of fire extinguishing agents for aircraft interior fires are?
water, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, and halogenated hydrocarbons.
Which type of fire extinguisher is recommended for extinguishing wood fires?
