The Carbon Dioxide fire extinguisher is made up of 6 mm thick seamless Manganese or carbon steel and is fitted with a wheel-type control valve, safety pin, neck ring, safety valve, neck handle, instruction sticker, discharge hose, and discharge horn. Carbon dioxide gas is stored under high pressure at 68 kg/cm2, hence it is in the form of a liquid.
The external body of the extinguisher has an instruction sticker with the letters ‘B’ and ‘C’, which indicate the suitability of the extinguisher for class ‘B’ and class ‘C’ fires. In case of any fire accident, maintain a safe distance from the fire, hold the discharge horn in your left hand, remove the locking pin, unscrew the control valve anti-clockwise, and direct the CO2 gas at the base of the fire using the discharge horn. Direct the gas with a sweeping motion from side to side until the fire gets extinguished through a blanketing effect.
The CO2 flow can be controlled by closing the control valve. This fire extinguisher is available in various capacities like 2kg, 4.5kg, 6.5kg, and 9kg. This product is BIS marked with BIS number IS 15683:2018. The cylinder is approved by DOE (Department of Explosives) as per IS7285. The valve is approved by DOE (Department of Explosives) as per IS3224. The CO2 gas is also BIS marked with number IS 15222.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) fire extinguishers are a crucial part of fire safety equipment. They are specifically designed to combat fires involving class B refers to flammable liquids like petrol, diesel, kerosene, paints etc, and class C refers flammable gases like LPG, CNG, ethabne, methane, hydrogen etc.
