Pyrex extinguishers with gas agent are a special type of fire extinguishing device designed to extinguish fires using a gas agent. These extinguishers effectively extinguish fires using various gas agents such as CO2 and other gases.

The advantages of Pyrex extinguishers include high performance, fast and effective fire extinguishing capabilities, minimal risk of combustion during discharge, and ease of portability.

Generally, Pyrex extinguishers are fire extinguishing devices that should be used in limited spaces or near sensitive equipment such as electrical panels. However, when used properly and with appropriate fire extinguishing procedures, these extinguishers can prevent fire hazards and save lives.

Where to use?

Pyrex fire extinguishers are typically used in areas where sensitive equipment such as electrical panels, computer rooms, data centers, kitchens, laboratories, and other sensitive equipment are located. These types of extinguishers can also be preferred in areas with limited access or where other fire suppression methods may be difficult to apply.

However, the type of fire extinguisher needed may vary depending on the type, size, and characteristics of the fire and area. Therefore, it is important to consult an expert to select the appropriate type of extinguisher before using a fire extinguisher.

Types

The most commonly used types of Pyrex fire extinguishers are:

1. CO2 Fire Extinguishers: These extinguishers use CO2 gas. CO2 displaces oxygen to extinguish the fire. Therefore, they are effective for extinguishing fires in limited spaces such as electrical fires and restaurant fires.

2. Inergen Fire Extinguishers: These extinguishers use a gas mixture that mimics atmospheric air. The gas mixture reduces oxygen to eliminate the fire. Therefore, they are preferred in areas with sensitive equipment like data centers and archive rooms.

3. HFC-227ea Fire Extinguishers: These extinguishers use HFC-227ea gas. HFC-227ea is a safe and clean gas used in environments with flammable and explosive materials.

4. FM-200 Fire Extinguishers: These extinguishers use FM-200 gas. FM-200 reduces oxygen before cooling the fire. Therefore, they are preferred in areas with electronic equipment.

Pyrex fire extinguishers also come in other types. The type needed may vary depending on the type, size, and characteristics of the fire and area. Therefore, it is important to consult an expert to select the appropriate type of extinguisher before using a fire extinguisher.

Features

The features of gas-based fire extinguishers include:

1. Effective: Gas agents can rapidly extinguish fires by stopping the burning of materials that cause the fire.
2. Harmless: Gas agents typically do not damage the materials that cause the fire, and are designed to be safe for human health.
3. Recyclable: Gas agents are not harmful to the environment when released into the atmosphere, and can be recycled after the fire is put out.
4. Fast response time: Gas agents are stored within fire suppression systems and can be rapidly discharged in the event of a fire.
5. Long-lasting: Gas agents have a long shelf life and can be stored for years, making them an ideal choice for fire suppression systems.
6. Expensive: Gas-based fire extinguishers are generally more expensive than other types of fire suppression systems.

Test Standarts

Gas-based fire extinguishers can be subject to many different test standards to ensure their performance and reliability meet specific criteria.

For example, some standards used to test FM-200 gas-based fire extinguishers include:

1. NFPA 2001: A standard used in the United States for the design, installation, maintenance, and testing of gas-based fire suppression systems.

2. ISO 14520: A global standard used to test the performance of fire suppression systems.

3. UL 2127: A standard developed by Underwriters Laboratories in the United States used to test the performance of gas-based fire suppression systems.

4. EN 15004: A standard used in the European Union to test the performance of fire suppression systems.

These standards establish necessary testing procedures to accurately measure the performance of gas-based fire extinguishers. Fire extinguishers must be tested in compliance with these standards to determine their suitability.

What does it do?

Gas-based fire extinguishers are a type of fire suppression equipment used to control and extinguish fires. Designed to reduce the oxygen supply to a fire, gas agents such as Halon, FM-200, and NOVEC 1230 can be used in these types of fire extinguishers.

Gas-based fire extinguishers are used in various industries, including power generation facilities, computer centers, data processing centers, oil refineries, ships and aircraft, medical facilities and others. The advantages of using gas-based fire extinguishers include:

1. Effective: Gas agents can quickly extinguish fires by stopping the combustion of materials that cause the fire.

2. Harmless: Gas agents typically do not damage the materials that cause the fire and are designed to be safe for human health.

3. Recyclable: Gas agents are not harmful to the environment when released into the atmosphere and can be recycled after the fire is put out.

4. Fast response time: Gas agents are stored within fire suppression systems and can be rapidly discharged in the event of a fire.

5. Long-lasting: Gas agents have a long shelf life and can be stored for years, making them an ideal choice for fire suppression systems.

6. No post-fire cleanup required: Gas agents can be designed to require no cleanup after a fire has been extinguished.

In summary, gas-based fire extinguishers help to quickly control and extinguish fires and are commonly used in a variety of industries.
