specific
Answer:
extinguisher model onto stationary vertical surfaces
Extinguisher Inspection A quick check that a fire extinguisher is in its designated
place, that
it has not been actuate or tampered with, and that there is no obvious physical
damage or
condition to prevent its operation
Extinguisher Maintenance A thorough examination of the fire extinguisher that is
intended
to give maximum assurance that fire extinguishers will operate effectively and safely
and to
determine if physical damage or condition will prevent its operation, if any repair or
replacement is necessary, and if hydro static testing or internal maintenance is
required
Film-Forming Foam Agents Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) and film- Forming
Floroprotein foam (FFFP)
Flammable Liquids of Appreciable Depth Flammable liquids of appreciable depth
are those
with a depth greater than 1/4 in (6.3mm)
, Q: Halogenated Agents Halogenated (clean) agents referenced in this standard are

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