NFPA 10 Latest Update with Verified Solutions

NFPA 10 Latest Update with Verified Solutions ANSI American National Standards Institute Antifreeze Charge Loaded stream charge Carbon Dioxide A colorless, odorless, electrically non-conductive inert has that is a suitable medium for extinguishing class B and class C fires Dry Chemical A powder composed of very small particles, usually sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate or ammonium phosphate-based with added particulate material supplemented by special treatment to provide resistance to packing, resistance to moisture absorption (caking), and the proper flow capabilities Wet Chemical Normally am aqueous solution of organic or inorganic salts or a combination there of that forms an extinguishing agent Clean Agent Electrically non-conducting, volatile, or gaseous fire extinguishant that does not leave a residue upon evaporation Dry Chemical Recovery System A system that is constructed in a manner that does not introduce foreign material into the agent being recovered and has a means of visually inspecting the recovered agent for contaminants. Halogenated Closed Recovery System A system that provides for the transfer of halogenated agents between fire extinguishers, supply containers, and recharge and recovery containers so that none of the halogenated agent escapes into the atmosphere. Closed recovery systems for halogenated agents with an ozone depleting potential (ODP) of 0.2 or greater should be listed for use with that agent. The system's supply or recharge and recovery container is capable of maintaining the agent in a sealed environment until it is reused or returned to the agent manufacturer High Pressure Cylinder Cylinders (and cartridges) containing nitrogen, compressed air, carbon dioxide, or other gases at a pressure higher than 500 psi (3447 kPa) at 70°F (21°C). Low Pressure Cylinder Cylinders containing fire extinguishing agent (medium), nitrogen, compressed air or other compressed gases at a service pressure of 500 psi (3447 kPa) or lower at 70°F (21°C). DOT Department of Transportation Dry Powder Solid materials in powder or granular form designed to extinguish Class D combustible metal fires by crusting, smothering or heat-transferring means. Electronic Monitoring A method of electronic communication (data transmission) between an in-place fire extinguisher and an electronic monitoring device/system. Extinguisher Bracket Extinguisher retention device designed to mount ans secure a specific extinguisher model onto various surfaces by incorporating releasable straps or bands to secure the fire extinguisher. Extinguisher Cabinet An identifiable and readily accessible fire extinguisher housing device designed to store and protect fire equipment. Extinguisher Hanger Extinguisher mounting device designed for mounting a specific extinguisher model onto stationary vertical surfaces.
