ABC Fire Extinguishers in Bhopal

ABC dry powder extinguishers use mono ammonium phosphate (MAP) powder that works on Class A, B and C fires, and most models are also listed for electrically started fires, which makes them the usual all round choice for offices, factories, shops, schools and vehicles. FPS offers portable, cartridge and trolley ABC models from Ceasefire, Kanex, Minimax, Savemax and Balaji Fire Safety in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh.

How to choose

First decide the powder grade. MAP stands for mono ammonium phosphate, and the number is its percentage in the powder: MAP 90 carries 90% and MAP 50 carries 50%, and Kanex also lists MAP 40 on its 1 kg RQ unit. The higher grade is listed at a higher rating for the same weight: Minimax rates its 4 kg gas cartridge unit 3A:55B with MAP 50 and 3A:89B with MAP 90, and Kanex rates its 1 kg stored pressure units 1A:21B with MAP 40 and 1A:34B with MAP 90. Where a listing names ABC powder without a grade, as on the Balaji Fire Safety units, FPS confirms the grade before supply.

Next choose stored pressure or cartridge operation. Stored pressure units keep nitrogen in the cylinder with the powder and a pressure gauge shows the charge, which suits offices, corridors and homes; Balaji Fire Safety, for example, lists nitrogen as the driving gas and a discharge time of 8 sec on its 4 kg and 6 kg units. Cartridge units from Ceasefire (4 kg to 12 kg), Kanex and Minimax (4, 6 and 9 kg) keep the propellant gas in a separate cartridge that pressurises the body only when used, so they can be refilled on site, which suits factories and outdoor areas.

Then match size to the risk. For homes and cars, Ceasefire offers 500 g and 1 kg units with a thumb trigger and Minimax the compact Minimax+ in 1 and 2 kg. Portable units run from 1 kg to 9 kg across brands, including Balaji Fire Safety mild steel units in 1, 2, 4, 6 and 9 kg, with 12 kg from Ceasefire. For fuel handling, storage yards and large open risks, trolley units of 25, 50 and 75 kg from Ceasefire, Kanex and Minimax are rated 20A:233B, Balaji Fire Safety lists 25 kg and 50 kg trolleys, and Ceasefire also lists 100 kg in its EN 1866 range. Stainless steel bodies from Ceasefire, Kanex, Minimax and Savemax suit display areas and coastal or high salinity sites.

Finally check approvals for your NOC or tender. Ceasefire BIS models are certified to IS 15683 and its trolleys to IS 16018, with an EN approved range carrying LPCB, BSI Kitemark and PED marks. Kanex portables are BIS approved to IS 15683:2006 and its trolleys conform to IS 16018:2012, with a UL 299 listed range in 2.5, 10 and 20 lbs; Minimax units are ISI marked; Savemax units are made to IS 2171 : 2024, ISI marked and CPWD approved; and Balaji Fire Safety lists its 4 kg portable and 25 kg stored pressure trolley as ISI to IS 15683.

Frequently asked questions

What does ABC mean on a fire extinguisher?
ABC means the powder is rated for Class A fires (wood, paper, cloth), Class B fires (petrol, oils, solvents) and Class C fires (gases). Most models here are also listed for electrically started fires, so one ABC unit covers most mixed risk areas.
What is the difference between MAP 90 and MAP 50?
MAP 90 has more active mono ammonium phosphate, so it is listed at a higher rating for the same size, for example 3A:89B against 3A:55B on the Minimax 4 kg cartridge unit. MAP 50 units carry lower ratings and are used where the hazard is lower.
Stored pressure or cartridge operated: which should I choose?
Stored pressure units are ready to use and show their charge on a gauge, which suits offices, homes and corridors. Cartridge operated units are pressurised only when used and can be refilled on site, which suits factories and outdoor sites.
Which size do I need?
Units of 500 g to 2 kg suit homes, cars and small rooms, 4 kg to 9 kg portables suit most floors and workshops, and 25 kg to 75 kg trolleys suit fuel handling areas and yards. The number and rating you need depend on your fire NOC, and FPS helps you plan it.
Are these extinguishers BIS approved?
Ceasefire and Kanex portables are BIS approved to IS 15683 and IS 15683:2006, and their trolleys to IS 16018. Minimax units are ISI marked, and Savemax units are ISI marked to IS 2171 : 2024 and CPWD approved. Balaji Fire Safety lists ISI to IS 15683 on its 4 kg portable and 25 kg trolley, and ISI on its 6 kg and 9 kg portables.
