Portable ABC Dry Powder Extinguisher

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Introduction: Multi-Purpose Fire Suppression Solution

The Portable ABC Dry Powder Extinguisher is the most common and versatile fire suppression device globally, suitable for Class A (ordinary combustibles), Class B (flammable liquids), and Class C (energized electrical equipment) fires. It uses a stored-pressure design, where nitrogen gas pressurizes a fine, silicone-coated Monoammonium  Phosphate (MAP) chemical powder.

The powder extinguishes Class A fires by melting and coating the fuel, creating a barrier that prevents re-ignition (smothering). For Class B and C fires, the chemical interrupts the chemical chain reaction of the fire, rapidly suppressing the flames. The ABC designation highlights its broad usability in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

Units range in size from small 1 kg domestic units up to 9 kg commercial units, distinguished by the amount of MAP agent and their UL/EN fire ratings. (Approx. 590 words)

Advantage: Multi-Class Versatility, Cost-Effectiveness, and Ease of Use

  • Universal Application: Effective against the three most common fire classes, simplifying fire protection planning.
  • High Reliability: As a stored-pressure unit, its readiness can be confirmed instantly by checking the pressure gauge.
  • Cost Efficiency: ABC dry chemical is one of the most cost-effective agents for broad fire suppression.
  • User-Friendly: Simple P.A.S.S. operation (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep) makes it accessible for untrained occupants.
  • Long Service Life: Cylinders are typically rated for 20 years, provided they undergo required hydrostatic testing and maintenance.
  • Low Freezing Point: The dry chemical agent is non-freezing, making it suitable for unheated environments (e.g., warehouses, vehicles).

Professional Usage Tips

  1. Gauge Check:

    Conduct a monthly visual check ensuring the gauge needle is securely in the green (charged) operating zone.

  2. Nozzle Aim:

    Aim the discharge at the base of the fire (the fuel source), not the flames or smoke column.

  3. Clean-up Caution:

    Be aware that the MAP agent is corrosive; residual powder must be promptly cleaned from electronics and metal parts after use.

  4. Horizontal Storage:

    NFPA 10 recommends agitating the unit (turning it upside down) monthly to prevent compaction of the dry chemical powder.

  5. Six-Year Check:

    The unit must be internally examined, powder checked, and seals replaced every 6 years by a certified technician.

FAQ

The active chemical is Monoammonium  Phosphate (MAP), often mixed with Ammonium  Sulfate.

The MAP agent is mildly corrosive to metals and surfaces, especially in humid conditions.

No. While it may knock down flames, ABC powder lacks the cooling/saponification action needed to prevent re-ignition of hot cooking oils.

The unit is filled with dry nitrogen gas or air that acts as the propellant, monitored by the gauge.

The Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for standard commercial ABC units is typically 5,000 to 10,000 units.

NFPA 10 recommends gently inverting or shaking the dry chemical unit monthly to prevent powder compaction.

They indicate the type and volume of fire the extinguisher can effectively put out (e.g., 3A:40B:C).

Most portable units discharge for about 8 to 25 seconds, depending on the size of the extinguisher.

No. Refilling must be performed by a certified fire technician using specialized equipment and certified agent.

The steel cylinder is typically rated for a 20-year service life, contingent upon passing hydrotests.
