VERIFIED ANSWERS!!
Extinguisher mounting device designed for mounting a specific
extinguisher model onto stationary vertical surfaces.
Extinguisher Hanger
A quick check that a fire extinguisher is in its designated place, that it
has not been actuated or tampered with, and that there is no obvious
physical damage or condition to prevent its operation.
Extinguisher Inspection
A thorough examination of the fire extinguisher that is intended to give
maximum assurance that a fire extinguisher will operate effectively and
safelyand to
determine if physical damage or condition will prevent its operation, if
any repair or replacement is necessary, and if hydrostatic testing or
internal maintenance is required.
Extinguisher Maintenance
A solution that will form an aqueous film on liquid fuels
Film-Forming Foam
,A solution based on fluorinated surfactants plus foam stabilizers to
produce a fluid aqueous film for suppressing liquid fuel vapors.
Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF)
A protein-foam solution that uses fluorinated surfactants to produce a
fluid aqueous film for suppressing liquid fuel vapors.

unwanted rupture.
Hydrostatic testing
A water-based extinguishing agent that uses an alkali metal salt as a
freezing point depressant.
Loaded stream extinguisher
All steel shells other than stainless steel and steel shells used for high-
pressure cylinders.
Mild Steel Shell
, The normal operating pressure as indicated on the nameplate or
cylinder of a fire extinguisher.
Extinguisher Service Pressure
The pressure shown on the nameplate at which a shell was tested at time
of manufacture.
Factory Test Pressure

Pressurized Flammable Liquid Fires
The replacement of the extinguishing agent (also includes the expellant
for certain types of fire extinguishers).
Recharge
The actual walking distance from a point to the nearest fire extinguisher
fulfilling hazard requirements.
Travel Distance

and increases its ability to penetrate and spread.
