A fire extinguisher is a means of protection against fire, and in order to have more security in the environment, it is better to have a fire extinguisher in homes, office complexes, commercial complexes and any building. In this way, you guarantee your safety and you can prevent fire very quickly. There are different types of fire extinguishers and the type of transport and the ingredients used in it are different from each other. Powder and gas fire extinguishers are one of the most common and best fire extinguishers. A fire extinguisher has several components, including a handle (which is a combination of a lever and a latch), a reservoir, an outlet pipe, and a plastic pipe. In the following, we will give you more information about powder and gas fire extinguishers.
The tank of the fire extinguisher, which has a cylindrical or non-cylindrical appearance and is made of metal, compounds such as powder and gas, water and carbon dioxide gas are also placed in this tank. On this tank, which often has a cylindrical appearance, a lever is placed on the handle, by applying pressure on it, you can remove the contents of the capsule in a large volume. The rubber tube embedded in the capsule actually connects the lower part of the capsule to the upper part. A metal valve is placed where this pipe connects to the outlet of the tank, and a small cylinder filled with compressed carbon dioxide gas is placed on top of the tank of these capsules. A valve is also installed in these capsules that prevent the release of these gases.
Powder and gas capsules
There are different types of fire extinguishers, which we intend to discuss in this article from the Sepehr safety website about powder and gas fire extinguishers. There are two disposable and rechargeable models of powder and gas capsules in the market. Among the features of these capsules, we can mention the ability to separate the different parts of the composition in the tank from each other by means of powder. Also, the powder agent increases its performance by separating each of the chemical reactions from each other (including heat, fuel and oxygen) and prevents the fire from happening, thus extinguishing the fire. The powder and gas capsule has many advantages such as suffocating fire, diluting oxygen in the environment, cooling a lot and not being conductive. Powder and gas capsules are mostly used to contain and control flammable liquids.
The combination of powder and gas in these capsules are not toxic in any way, and just because they are chemicals, it is better not to use them in closed environments because they can lead to inflammation of the respiratory passages or endanger people's eyesight. Also, if a person has suffered an accident or burn, this capsule should not be used in the environment where this person is because it will suffocate by blocking his airway. Powder and gas capsules have different weights and are available from 5 to 14 kg. The time it takes for the capsule to empty depends on the contents and may take anywhere from 8 seconds to 14 seconds. The amount of discharge when charging the fire extinguisher is about 85%. The throwing power of powder and gas fire extinguishers is very high and can control up to 6 meters. To work with this capsule, you must pull its trigger and then press the handle lever; With this, a rod inside this capsule pushes the spring valve down and opens the exit path of the powder and gas capsule.
The price of powder and gas fire extinguishers
The powder and gas capsule consists of various important parts that are effective in determining the price of this product, and we will explain them to you:Body: The body of these capsules should be metal, and in addition, they should be anti-rust and anti-corrosion and have a very high resistance. The body of these capsules must be able to withstand very high pressure.Mechanism type: The capsule manufacturer determines what type of mechanism to use for it. These mechanisms can be lever, impact or flap.Rubber tube: Rubber tubes are used in powder and gas capsules and are very resistant and can withstand very high pressures.Spraying powder pipe head: the pipe heads are usually made of plastic and have a suitable length and size, and their mechanism is lever-type; so that by applying pressure on it, the powder is directed out of the tube head, and by not pressing it, the powder exit from the capsule is stopped.Siphon tube: The siphon tube, which is actually the inner tube of the capsule and its role is to guide the powder, starts from the bottom of the tank and is extended to the exit point of the capsule.
