How to choose

Start with the fire risk. Water extinguishers suit Class A materials such as wood, paper, cloth and packaging. AFFF foam works on Class A and also on Class B flammable liquids such as petrol, diesel, solvents and paint, because the foam spreads a film over the liquid and stops vapour from re-igniting. Neither type should be used on live electrical equipment.

Then pick the operation type. Stored pressure units keep nitrogen inside the same cylinder as the agent and have a pressure gauge you can read at a glance. Cartridge operated units hold the CO2 in a separate cartridge (to IS 4947) that is pierced when you operate the unit, which many industrial users prefer because refilling is simple on site.

Choose the series and body next. RQ series units have a mild steel body with internal plastic lining and external pure polyester powder coating. HQ series units add a stainless steel body, unique gauge testing system, helium leak testing and CE marking along with BIS approval to IS 15683:2006.

For large liquid fire risks such as refineries, tank farms and paint shops, use the 45 Ltr or 60 Ltr trolley mounted AR-AFFF foam unit with its 20A:233B rating and 9 m throw. For general office and shop cover, 6 Ltr or 9 Ltr portables mounted near exits are usually enough. Call FPS if you want help matching quantity and placement to your floor plan.

Frequently asked questions

What does a rating like 2A:34B mean?
The number before A is the size of Class A (solid material) test fire the extinguisher can put out, and the number before B is the size of Class B (flammable liquid) test fire. A higher number means a larger test fire was extinguished, so 2A:34B covers both solids and liquids.
Can I use a water or foam extinguisher on electrical equipment?
No. Water and foam conduct electricity, so use CO2 or clean agent extinguishers for live electrical risk. FPS can advise on the right mix for a panel room or server room.
What is the difference between stored pressure and cartridge operated?
In a stored pressure unit the nitrogen expellant sits inside the main cylinder and a gauge shows the pressure. In a cartridge operated unit the CO2 sits in a separate cartridge conforming to IS 4947 that is punctured when you operate the extinguisher.
How often do these extinguishers need refilling?
Foam and water extinguishers need periodic refilling and pressure testing as per the applicable standards and after any use, even partial. FPS carries out refilling, hydro testing and annual maintenance contracts in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh.
What sizes are available?
Portables come in 6 and 9 Ltr for water and 6 and 9 Ltr or KG for foam. Trolley mounted AR-AFFF foam units are available in 45 Ltr and 60 Ltr.
