⩥ (8341) what are the fire extinguisher container pressure limits when
the temperature is 50°F?
Answer: 475 - 625 PSIG
⩥ (8340) provided detection and extinguishing purposes, aircraft power
plant areas are divided into fire zones based on
Answer: The volume and smoothness of the airflow through engine
compartments
⩥ (8339) The use of water on class D fires
Answer: will cause the fire to burn more violently and can cause
explosions.
⩥ (8338) After a fire is extinguished, or overheat condition removed in
aircraft equipped with a Systron-Donner fire detector, the detection
system
Answer: automatically resets.
,⩥ (8337) Which of the following fire detection systems uses heat in the
normal testing of the system?
Answer: The thermocouple system and the Lindberg system.
⩥ (8336) Which of the following fire detection systems will detect a fire
when an element is inoperative but will not test when the test circuit is
energized?
Answer: The Kidde system and the Fenwal system.
⩥ (8335) The most satisfactory extinguishing agent for an electrical fire
is
Answer: carbon dioxide
⩥ (8334) which statement best describes the blowout type indicator disc
on a fixed fire extinguishing system?
Answer: When the yellow indicator disc is missing, it indicates the fire-
extinguishing system has been normally discharged.
⩥ (8333) to continuous loop fire detection systems that will not test due
to a broken detector element are the
Answer: Kidde system in the fenwal system
⩥ (8332) a fire involving energized electrical equipment is defined as
Answer: Class C fire
,⩥ (8331) a fire detection system that operates on the rate-of-temperature
rise is a
Answer: thermocouple system
⩥ (8330) a fuel or oil fire is defined as a
Answer: Class B fire
⩥ (8329) The fire detection system that uses two wires imbedded in a
ceramic core within a tube is the
Answer: Kidde system.
⩥ (8328) The fire detection system that uses a single wire surrounded by
a continuous string of ceramic beads in a tube is the
Answer: Fenwal system.
⩥ (8327) A fire detection system operates on the principle of a buildup
of gas pressure within a tube proportional to temperature. Which of the
following systems does this statement define?
Answer: Lindberg continuous-element system.
⩥ (8326) The pulling out "or down" of an illuminated fire handle in a
typical large jet aircraft fire protection system commonly accomplishes
what events?
, Answer: Closes fuel shut off, closes hydraulic shutoff, disconnects the
generator field, and arms the fire-extinguishing systems
⩥ (8325) Which of the following fire detection systems measures
temperature rise compared to a reference temperature?
Answer: Thermocouple
⩥ (8324) Why does one type of Fenwal fire detection system use spot
detectors wired in parallel between two separate circuits?
Answer: So that a single fault may exist in the system without sounding
a false alarm.
⩥ (8323) The explosive cartridge in the discharge valve of a fire-
extinguisher container is
Answer: a life-dated unit.
⩥ (8322) the most satisfactory extinguishing agent for a tailpipe or
intake fire is
Answer: carbon dioxide
⩥ (8321) what is the principle of operation of the continuous-loop fire
detector system sensor?
Answer: Core resistance material which prevents current flow at normal
temperatures.
