Dry Chemical Fire Extinguishers |
|
|
Dry chemical
fire extinguishers are required for two types of major service
during their term of service: |
|
1. Six Year Service
- extinguisher is broken |
|
down, all internal parts
are serviced and then |
|
the fire extinguisher
is recharged. |
|
2. Hydrostatic Test
- this service is required |
|
twelve years. The
extinguisher is filled with |
|
|
water and taken to maximum
pressure to verify |
|
|
that the cylinder is not
compromised. |
|
Liquid filled fire extinguishers are required for
only one type of major service during their term of
service: |
|
1. Hydrostatic Test - this
service is required every five years. The extinguisher
is filled with |
|
water and taken to maximum
pressure to verify |
|
