The question I've got is, what needs do you have? If you just want a fire extinguisher to keep in the kitchen in case of a grease fire, or in the garage, hardware stores and discount stores like Walmart and Target sell good fire extinguishers. If you are putting it in a commercial building where you need the unit serviced on a regular basis, check the "fire extinguisher" listing in the phone book.

ABC which handles flammable items that would burn leaving an ash, like wood and paper, Liquid fires, and electrical.

All military vehicles are required to have a fire extinguisher.

AFFF is Aqueous Film Forming Foam

Put simply, fire requires three things to burn: a fuel, heat and oxygen. The fuel is whatever the fire is burning, and this may be something like wood, gasoline, paper, bedsheets, yeah you get the point. It creates its own heat, so that leaves one more: oxygen.

Oxygen is present in the atmosphere, the atmosphere is all around the fire. Oxygen is also a relatively light compared to carbon dioxide, because oxygen is O2 and carbon dioxide has an extra carbon atom in the molecule, CO2. When you release a lot of carbon dioxide, it instantaneously displaces the O2 in the atmosphere, because less dense objects like oxygen will rise. With no oxygen around, the fire extinguishes.

Plywood is a type of engineered wood made from thin sheets of wood veneer, called plies or veneers. The layers are glued together, each with its grain at right angles to adjacent layers for greater strength.Plywood is a type of engineered wood made from thin sheets of wood veneer, called plies or veneers.

There are a couple quests that use fire extinguisher types of item. Generally you can use right click on the and they will work, but without knowing exactly what quest you are on, there is little else to say.

There are many different types of extinguishers, but many of them contain solid (dry chemical), liquid (water or foam), or compressed gas (CO2 or nitrogen).

SALES TAX IN NYC- Are fire extinquishers taxable

A soda acid fire extinguisher uses water as a carrier of the soda/acid. A television fire is primarily an electrical fire. Adding water to an electrical fire will only complicate the problem by introducing the possibility of shorts and electrocution.

I have read it some where that the inside pressure of Co2 in fire extinguisher is 55 to 58 kg/cm2 at 21 deg C. However the pressure varies as per the ambient temperature.

Fire is used by Christians in various symbolic and liturgical ways. It represents the presence of the Holy Spirit, as seen in the Pentecost event where tongues of fire appeared over the apostles. Candles are often lit during worship services to symbolize Christ as the Light of the World and to signify prayer and devotion. Additionally, fire is used in rituals such as the Paschal Vigil, where the Easter candle is lit to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.

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.

It depends on the size of the extinguisher: a 5# extinguisher is allowed to be 1/2-pound under the full-weight shown on the label. A 10# is allowed to be 1-pound under.

Yes, if it has an inboard engine, permanent fuel tanks, or any enclosed storage or sealed area where flammable fumes can accumulate, you need a B-1 USCG-approved extinguisher.

A carbon dioxide extinguisher (used on electrical installation fires) should not be used in a confined space, as the user could be overcome and be asphyxiated (deprived of air).

Normally it is done by weight. The empty cylinder weight is known and the weight with CO2 is taken and the CO2 weight is found.

you should use dry powder extinguisher

Flammable metals often require special chemicals to extinguish, assuming there are any. So, in fact, you WOULD use a "chemical extinguisher", but probably not an ordinary dry chemical extinguisher.

Currently silver colored, older ones are brass.

A class C fire is an electrical fire. A class C extinguisher is approved for electrical fires.

When looking at this use the equation PV = nRT. From this you can see that temperature and pressure are proportional to one another. So if your temperature increases for the same volume and number of moles your pressure must also increase. When you use a fire extinguisher you rapidly decrease the pressure inside the container which causes the temperature to decrease. The frost you see is water vapor from the air freezing when it comes into contact with the cold outside of the extinguisher.
