Fire Tube


Technical information

A fire extinguisher is a handheld device used to extinguish small fires. It consists of a pressurized container filled with an extinguishing agent such as water, foam or dry powder. To use it, it is necessary to point its tip to the base of the fire.

Squeezing the handle is sufficient to release the extinguishing agent. It is important to choose the right type of fire extinguisher for the type of fire you are trying to extinguish.

Fire extinguisher maintenance includes regular inspection, testing and refilling. By visually inspecting the tube first, some things may be noticed. It would be healthy to check the fire extinguisher for any physical damage, corrosion or leakage. Pressure testing is another important issue.

Be sure to check the pressure gauge to make sure it's in the proper range. When it is empty or the pressure decreases, you should contact the authorized company for refilling. If the fire extinguisher has been used or has lost pressure, it must be refilled by a professional.

Where is the Fire Extinguisher Placed?

It is very important to have the fire extinguisher in an easily accessible place and to know how to use it correctly. In the event of a fire emergency, it can help you put out a small fire before it gets bigger, giving you time to evacuate. Different types of fire extinguishers are designed to be effective in different fire classes (Class A, B, C etc.), so it's important to choose the right one for the particular situation. Regular maintenance, inspection and testing of fire extinguishers is also important to ensure they are in proper working condition.

In a building, fire extinguishers should be located in an easily accessible location where they can be easily seen and quickly retrieved in the event of an emergency fire. Among the most ideal placement areas:

  1. Near exits or along escape routes
  2. In corridors or common areas
  3. Near potential fire hazards such as a kitchen, laboratory, or workshop
  4. In high-traffic areas such as lobbies, elevators and stairwells
  5. On each floor, close to exits and elevators

It is important to comply with laws and regulations regarding the placement of fire extinguishers and to ensure that they are easily visible and accessible to everyone in the building. On the other hand, it is a good idea to educate people on the location and correct use of fire extinguishers.

How to Check Fire Extinguisher Pressure?

In accordance with the instructions, it is necessary to follow when the maintenance check is done.

Emphasis is placed on ensuring that the tip, pull pin, and safety seal are in good condition and used in an emergency by making sure the instructions are legible. In addition, it is important to keep track of when the periodic maintenance is due by keeping records of all maintenance and inspections for compliance purposes.

It is recommended that the fire extinguisher be serviced annually by a certified professional to ensure they are in proper working order and ready for use in an emergency. It is a necessity to examine the regulations on Fire Devices regarding filling time.
